Safety Training Seminars
New York moves fast — and so do emergencies. From the packed ERs of Manhattan to the community hospitals serving Buffalo’s West Side, healthcare professionals across this state can’t afford gaps in life support training. Safety Training Seminars provides AHA BLS CPR, ACLS, and PALS classes built for New York’s pace, its workforce, and the high-stakes environments where these skills get used.
New York is one of the most healthcare-dense states in the country — and that means the bar for clinical readiness is set high. Hospitals like NewYork-Presbyterian, NYU Langone, and Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx serve tens of thousands of patients annually, and their staffing requirements demand that every nurse, technician, and provider holds a current, AHA-recognized credential. The same standard applies upstate, where Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester and SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse anchor regional health systems that serve sprawling, often rural catchment areas.
At Safety Training Seminars, our AHA BLS CPR Course puts the emphasis exactly where it belongs: hands-on technique. Students learn to perform high-quality chest compressions, operate an AED, manage airways, and coordinate with team members in realistic emergency scenarios — not just memorize a checklist. That kind of muscle memory matters, whether you’re responding in a Brooklyn urgent care clinic or stabilizing a patient in a Long Island City surgical center.
For ACLS and PALS, our curriculum goes deeper — covering the advanced cardiac and pediatric response protocols that attending physicians, RNs, and paramedics in Westchester County, Nassau County, and across the five boroughs rely on to maintain hospital privileges and comply with employer mandates. Our students don’t just successfully complete the course — they leave prepared to use it.
Our AHA-recognized life-saving courses reach New York’s most active healthcare communities — from the Financial District and Long Island City to Brooklyn, Forest Hills, and Yonkers in the metro area, and extending upstate to Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo’s Downtown and North Town, Ithaca, Hicksville, and White Plains. Wherever you practice, we’re nearby.
All courses are delivered by experienced, AHA-authorized instructors to ensure high-quality training and compliance with healthcare standards. After successfully completing your course, you’ll receive an official AHA Course Completion eCard, valid for 2 years and widely accepted by hospitals, clinics, and employers throughout New York and across the United States.
The BLS course is essential for healthcare professionals who need strong foundational life-saving skills. This training covers adult, child, and infant CPR, AED operation, airway obstruction relief, and team-based resuscitation techniques. The course is designed to be flexible, with 1–2 hours of online learning followed by a 30-minute hands-on skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center. Upon successful completion, you will receive a two-year AHA Course Completion eCard, and the total course fee is $120.
The ACLS course builds on your BLS knowledge and focuses on advanced management of cardiovascular emergencies. You will learn how to respond to critical situations such as acute stroke, cardiac arrest, and acute coronary syndromes using structured, evidence-based protocols. The course includes 2–3 hours of online learning and a 30-minute skills session to demonstrate your competency. This two-year AHA Course Completion eCard course is offered at $290, providing excellent value for advanced-level training.
The PALS course is specifically designed for healthcare providers who care for infants and children, including pediatric nurses, physicians, and emergency responders. It teaches advanced pediatric assessment, resuscitation, and emergency response techniques to handle critical situations with confidence. The course includes 2–3 hours of online learning and a 30-minute skills session. After completion, you will receive a two-year AHA Course Completion eCard, and the course fee is $290.
The CPR, AED, and First Aid course is ideal for non-medical professionals, workplaces, teachers, and anyone who wants to be prepared for real-life emergencies. This training equips you with the knowledge to respond to cardiac emergencies, injuries, and everyday health situations using CPR techniques, AED devices, and basic first aid skills. The course includes 2–3 hours of online learning followed by a 60-minute skills session. Upon completion, you will receive a two-year AHA Course Completion eCard, and the course is available for $120.
The New York dense concentration of hospitals, academic medical centers, and regulated industries creates high, ongoing demand for AHA life support certification.
RNs, LPNs, and nursing students at Harvard, Penn, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins must hold current BLS before clinicals. Many ICU and ER nurses also require ACLS.
Medical doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners at Northeast hospitals must maintain active BLS and often ACLS as a condition of hospital credentialing.
Emergency medical technicians and paramedics throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic must hold AHA BLS and often ACLS to meet state EMS licensure requirements.
Dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants in MA, NY, and other Northeast states are required by state dental boards to maintain current CPR/BLS certification.
Teachers, daycare providers, school nurses, and childcare staff in MA, NY, and VA are required by law or employer policy to hold current CPR and First Aid certification.
OSHA regulations and many large Northeast employers in finance, manufacturing, and construction require CPR-certified employees. We offer on-site group training for any size.
New York’s healthcare professionals have demanding schedules and equally demanding credential requirements. Here’s exactly what each course covers — and what it costs.
The foundation of every clinical credential stack, our AHA BLS CPR Class is designed for registered nurses, medical assistants, dental professionals, hospital technicians, and anyone in a patient-facing role across New York’s health systems. The course covers one- and two-rescuer adult and pediatric CPR, AED use, team-based communication, and relief-of-choking procedures — the same protocols demanded by NewYork-Presbyterian’s credentialing office and community clinics from Forest Hills to White Plains.
The online portion runs 1–2 hours and is completed through our Self-Guided Learning™ platform. A 30-minute skills session at a nearby CPR Verification Station™ follows, and your AHA Course Completion eCard — valid for two years — is issued upon successful completion. Price: $120.
Advanced providers in New York’s emergency departments, ICUs, and cardiac care units need more than basic life support knowledge — they need the decision-making framework to lead resuscitation in real time. Our ACLS course, available as Initial or Renewal, covers 12-lead ECG interpretation, complex arrhythmia management, advanced airway techniques, and team-based resuscitation algorithms aligned with the latest AHA guidelines.
Whether you’re on staff at Kaleida Health in Buffalo or working a per diem shift at a Manhattan facility on the FDR Drive corridor, the format is the same: 2–3 hours online, followed by a 30-minute skills test. You’ll receive an American Heart Association ACLS eCard valid for two years. Price: $290 — low price guaranteed.
Pediatric emergencies require a specific, structured response — and the providers who handle them at hospitals from Long Island Jewish Medical Center to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse need PALS training that goes beyond theory. Our PALS course — available as Initial or Renewal — trains participants to recognize and respond to respiratory failure, shock, and cardiac arrest in infants and children using the AHA’s systematic assessment approach.
Completed entirely online (2–3 hours) with a 30-minute in-person skills session, this course results in an American Heart Association PALS eCard that is accepted nationally and valid for two years. Price: $290 — low price guaranteed.
Not every emergency happens behind a hospital curtain. For school nurses in Ithaca, building safety officers in Midtown, fitness trainers in Brooklyn, and workplace first responders across Nassau County, our CPR & First Aid course delivers practical, life-saving skills for the moments before EMS arrives.
Available as Initial or Renewal, the course includes 2–3 hours of online instruction through our Self-Guided Learning™ platform, followed by a 1-hour hands-on skills session. The completion card is valid for two years, and the course is priced at $120 — low price guaranteed.
New York City alone logs tens of thousands of 911 cardiac calls every year. Out on the street in Brooklyn or inside a Queens subway station, the window for effective CPR intervention is narrow — typically four to six minutes before irreversible brain damage begins. But this isn’t just a city problem. Rural counties in upstate New York face long EMS response times, putting even more weight on bystanders and first responders who know how to act.
Hospitals like Buffalo General Medical Center and the University of Rochester Medical Center understand this. They don’t just encourage BLS training — they require it. And for good reason. When a code is called and a provider hesitates, outcomes suffer. Our BLS CPR Course is designed to eliminate that hesitation, replacing it with trained reflex and calm, protocol-driven response.
Between long shifts, long commutes on the A train, and the sheer pace of life in New York, finding time for a traditional training day isn’t always realistic. Our Self-Guided Learning™ format was built for exactly this environment. Complete the online coursework from your apartment in Astoria, a coffee shop near Grand Central, or your break room in White Plains — entirely on your schedule. Once the online portion is done, you book a quick, focused skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ near you. The whole process is faster than most people expect, and far more flexible than any traditional classroom approach.
For New York healthcare organizations that want the most rigorous and consistent AHA training available, HeartCode® Complete is the answer. This blended learning course pairs a highly interactive online simulation with an in-person skills verification session at a CPR Verification Station™ — combining the convenience of self-paced learning with the credibility of hands-on evaluation. Many of New York’s largest hospital networks specify HeartCode® by name in their education requirements, and Safety Training Seminars is equipped to meet that need across the metro area and upstate.
After finishing your online coursework, the final step is a brief, structured skills check at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center. These stations are equipped with high-quality manikins, AED trainers, and trained evaluators who run you through the AHA-required skill sets quickly and efficiently. For providers in Brooklyn, Long Island City, or Yonkers, the location convenience matters — no full-day seminars, no traveling across three boroughs. Book a slot, demonstrate your technique, and walk out with your AHA Course Completion eCard in hand. Many students finish the same day they complete their online portion.
AHA eCards carry a two-year expiration — and in New York, employers don’t extend grace periods. Whether it’s a Westchester hospital flagging your lapsed BLS card, a Brooklyn surgical center requiring current ACLS, or a Syracuse pediatric practice expecting renewed PALS, the compliance timeline is firm. Safety Training Seminars makes renewal straightforward: same curriculum quality, same AHA eCard, same fast format. We also offer CPR & First Aid renewal for non-clinical settings. If you’re within six months of expiration — or already past it — schedule your renewal course now before it affects your scheduling privileges or employment status.
From the charge nurses at Montefiore’s emergency department in the Bronx to the paramedics running calls through the streets of Downtown Buffalo — Safety Training Seminars has built a reputation across New York’s diverse healthcare workforce. Our students include:
New York’s healthcare system is under constant demand. The providers who work within it deserve training that’s just as serious as the work they do.
Your two-year clock is running — and your employer, your patients, and your own professional peace of mind are all depending on you staying current. Safety Training Seminars makes it easy to enroll, complete your coursework, and receive your AHA Course Completion eCard without disrupting your schedule.

The AHA BLS CPR Class uses a blended format. The core coursework — covering CPR technique, AED use, and team-based response protocols — is completed online through our Self-Guided Learning™ platform in approximately 1–2 hours. That’s followed by a 30-minute in-person skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ near you. Both parts are required to successfully complete the course and receive your AHA eCard.
Yes — in most cases. Once you finish the online coursework and successfully complete your hands-on skills check at a CPR Verification Station™, your AHA Course Completion eCard is issued digitally and available immediately. You can share it with your employer, upload it to your credentialing portal, or store it on your phone the same day — no waiting for physical mail delivery.
Yes. Our courses follow American Heart Association curriculum and result in official AHA Course Completion eCards, which are recognized nationally and accepted by healthcare employers throughout New York — including health systems in New York City’s five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester County, and upstate regions including Syracuse, Buffalo, and Rochester. If your employer requires AHA, our training meets that standard.
Absolutely. That’s exactly what our Self-Guided Learning™ format is designed for. The online portion of ACLS renewal — 2–3 hours — can be completed anytime, from anywhere. Once you’re done, you choose a skills session time that fits your availability at a nearby CPR Verification Station™. Whether you’re commuting in from Long Island, working rotating shifts, or juggling multiple clinical roles across the city, the format bends to your schedule rather than the other way around.
PALS is most commonly required for healthcare providers who may encounter pediatric emergencies in their scope of practice. This includes pediatric and general emergency nurses, emergency physicians, pediatricians, paramedics, neonatal staff, and transport team members across New York’s hospital systems. If you work at a children’s hospital, a pediatric ICU, or an emergency department that treats patients of all ages — from Long Island Jewish to Upstate Golisano in Syracuse — your employer likely requires current PALS. When in doubt, check with your department’s credentialing or education coordinator.
