Safety Training Seminars
Safety Training Seminars is Yolo County’s go-to provider for AHA-approved CPR BLS, ACLS, and PALS classes — built around the way modern healthcare professionals actually learn. Whether you’re based in Davis near UC Davis Health or commuting through Woodland along I-5, you’ll find a fast, flexible path to your AHA Course Completion eCard right here in Yolo County.
Yolo County’s healthcare workforce is growing fast. With Sutter Davis Hospital serving the university community along Richards Boulevard, Woodland Memorial Hospital anchoring the county seat, and a steady stream of healthcare students graduating from UC Davis School of Medicine and nursing programs across the region, the demand for current, recognized CPR and emergency training has never been higher.
Safety Training Seminars answers that demand with AHA-approved BLS, ACLS, and PALS courses designed for real clinical environments — not just a classroom checklist. Our training covers hands-on CPR technique for adults, children, and infants, proper AED deployment, airway management, and coordinated team response during high-pressure emergencies. These are the skills that actually matter when a patient codes in the ICU at UC Davis Medical Center or when a pediatric case escalates in a Woodland clinic.
Healthcare professionals across Davis, Woodland, and the surrounding communities of West Sacramento and Winters trust our AHA courses because they’re accepted everywhere — from local outpatient clinics to major regional hospitals. Our instructors understand Yolo County’s unique mix of academic medicine, rural health access, and community-based care. That context shapes every session we deliver.
Whether you’re a new grad finishing rotations, a nurse renewing ahead of your hospital’s deadline, or an EMT keeping credentials current for Yolo County Emergency Services, our BLS, ACLS, and PALS courses deliver everything you need — efficiently, credibly, and on your schedule.

Safety Training Seminars provides CPR, BLS, ACLS, PALS, First Aid, and NRP courses throughout Yolo County’s key communities. In Davis, we serve UC Davis Health staff, nursing students, and research professionals who need fast, AHA-recognized training close to campus. In Woodland, Yolo County’s county seat and a growing hub for healthcare and emergency services, our courses support hospital teams, clinic workers, and community first responders. No matter which city you’re based in, we bring life-saving certification within reach.
Yolo County’s concentration of hospitals, academic medical centers, biotech campuses, and regulated industries drives constant demand for current AHA life-support credentials. If your role appears below, you almost certainly need an active BLS, ACLS, or PALS certification.
RNs, LPNs, and students at Samuel Merritt University, UC Berkeley, and UCSF must hold current BLS before clinical rotations. ICU and ER nurses at Highland Hospital and Kaiser Oakland typically also require ACLS.
MDs, DOs, PAs, and NPs credentialed at UCSF Benioff, Alta Bates Summit, or Alameda Health System must maintain active BLS and often ACLS as a hospital credentialing requirement.
First responders serving Oakland, Fremont, Hayward, and other Alameda County cities must hold AHA BLS and often ACLS to meet California EMS Authority (EMSA) licensure requirements.
Dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants in California must hold a current CPR/BLS certification as required by the Dental Board of California for license renewal.
Yolo County healthcare professionals deserve training options that fit real working schedules. Our AHA-certified course lineup covers every provider level — from frontline clinical staff to community safety advocates.
The AHA BLS CPR Course is the foundational standard for healthcare providers across Yolo County — required by virtually every hospital, clinic, and care facility from Davis to Woodland. Our BLS course covers adult, child, and infant CPR, proper AED use, relief of foreign-body airway obstruction, and the team-based response dynamics that matter most in fast-moving clinical settings like Woodland Memorial Hospital’s emergency department or Sutter Davis Hospital’s acute care units. The course runs 1–2 hours online followed by 30 minutes of hands-on skills testing, and your AHA Course Completion eCard is valid for two years. Pricing is $120 — straightforward, no hidden fees.
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support training is required for physicians, NPs, PAs, RNs, and paramedics working in high-acuity environments throughout Yolo County. Our ACLS course covers cardiac rhythm recognition, advanced airway management, pharmacology decision-making, and team communication during codes — the real-world scenarios that define emergency medicine in settings like UC Davis Medical Center and regional ICUs. Available for both Initial and Renewal providers, the course is 2–3 hours online with 30 minutes of skills testing. You’ll receive an American Heart Association ACLS Certification Card valid for two years. Price is $290 — lowest price guaranteed.
Pediatric Advanced Life Support is essential for any provider who may encounter infant or child emergencies — from NICU nurses and pediatric hospitalists to ED staff and transport teams across Yolo County. Our PALS course walks providers through systematic infant and child assessment, pediatric rhythm recognition, stabilization techniques, and the high-stakes team coordination that pediatric emergencies demand. Available as Initial or Renewal, the online course runs 2–3 hours followed by 30 minutes of skills testing. Your American Heart Association PALS card is accepted nationally and remains valid for two years. Price is $290 — lowest price guaranteed.
Emergencies don’t only happen in hospitals. Teachers, coaches, childcare workers, office managers, and community members across Yolo County benefit from knowing how to respond before paramedics arrive. Our CPR & First Aid course covers adult and pediatric CPR, AED use, bleeding control, choking response, and basic first aid for everyday emergencies in workplaces and public spaces. Available for Initial or Renewal, the course is 2–3 hours online followed by a 1-hour skills testing session. Your card is valid for two years, and pricing is $120 — lowest price guaranteed.
Every AHA Course Completion eCard issued through Safety Training Seminars is recognized at healthcare facilities across Yolo County and the greater Sacramento region. That includes Sutter Davis Hospital in Davis, Woodland Memorial Hospital in Woodland, UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento (the region’s major academic medical center just off I-80), Kaiser Permanente locations throughout the area, and outpatient clinics and specialty practices operated under Dignity Health and other regional systems. Our cards are also accepted by Yolo County Emergency Medical Services, skilled nursing facilities, and federally qualified health centers serving the county’s rural communities.
Every minute counts when a cardiac arrest occurs. In Yolo County, where Woodland Memorial Hospital’s ER team may receive a patient transported along State Route 16 from a rural community, and where UC Davis Medical Center serves as the regional trauma hub accessible via I-80, having trained responders at every level of the care chain makes a measurable difference in outcomes.
When a provider freezes during a code, it’s rarely because they lack compassion — it’s because they haven’t practiced under pressure. That’s exactly what our AHA-approved BLS, ACLS, and PALS training is built to address. By combining online cognitive learning with hands-on skills verification, our courses give Yolo County healthcare workers both the knowledge and the muscle memory to act with confidence when it matters most. Patients in Davis, Woodland, and across the county depend on that readiness every day.
Not every healthcare professional in Yolo County works a predictable 9-to-5. Travel nurses rotating through Sutter Davis Hospital, EMTs pulling shifts with Yolo County EMS, and UC Davis residents juggling rotations all need training that bends around their schedule — not the other way around. Our Self-Guided Learning™ courses let you complete the cognitive portion of your BLS, ACLS, or PALS training entirely on your own timeline — at home, between shifts, or during a break on campus. You set the pace. We handle the rest.
HeartCode® Complete is the AHA’s premier blended-learning solution for BLS, and it’s available to every healthcare provider in Yolo County through Safety Training Seminars.

HeartCode® Complete meets the AHA’s most current guidelines and is accepted by every major hospital and healthcare system operating in Yolo County and beyond. It’s modern, efficient, and built for providers who don’t have time to waste.
Once you’ve completed your online coursework, you’ll verify your hands-on skills at one of our CPR Verification Station™ learning centers — fully equipped practice environments where a trained skills evaluator confirms your technique meets AHA standards. The process is streamlined and typically takes 30 minutes or less, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or post-shift window. There’s no need to block out a full day. Providers across Davis and Woodland have found this format dramatically more manageable than traditional all-day classroom sessions — and the AHA Course Completion eCard they walk away with carries the same weight.

Whether you’re renewing BLS, ACLS, PALS, or CPR & First Aid, Safety Training Seminars makes the process fast and painless.

Have questions about getting AHA-certified in Yolo County? We’ve answered the most common questions from local healthcare professionals, students, and community members below.
The AHA BLS CPR Course is designed to fit into a single day without consuming it. You’ll spend roughly 1–2 hours on the online portion, which you can complete at home, between shifts, or anywhere with an internet connection. Skills testing typically runs about 30 minutes at your nearest CPR Verification Station™. Most Yolo County providers — from Davis to Woodland — finish the entire process and have their AHA Course Completion eCard in hand the same day they test.
Yes. Once you successfully complete the course and pass your skills verification, your AHA Course Completion eCard is issued digitally — same day, no delay. There’s no waiting for a card to arrive by mail. Your eCard is accessible immediately, which means you can submit it to HR, upload it to a credentialing portal, or bring it to your first day at a new Yolo County facility right away.
ACLS is typically required for RNs working in critical care, emergency, cardiac, and perioperative units throughout Yolo County, including at Sutter Davis Hospital and Woodland Memorial Hospital. Requirements vary by unit and employer, so it’s always worth confirming your specific department’s expectations. That said, having a current ACLS card from the American Heart Association is broadly recognized as a strong professional credential across the region, and many Yolo County nurses pursue it proactively even when not immediately required.
PALS through Safety Training Seminars follows a blended format. The cognitive and knowledge portions are completed entirely online — accessible through our Self-Guided Learning™ platform at whatever pace suits your schedule. The hands-on skills assessment is conducted in person at a CPR Verification Station™ near you in Yolo County. This format is accepted by the American Heart Association and recognized at every pediatric and acute care facility in the region.
All AHA Course Completion eCards issued through Safety Training Seminars are valid for two years from the date of successful course completion. Most Yolo County hospitals and healthcare employers expect providers to renew before their card expires — not after — to avoid any lapse in compliance. We recommend scheduling your renewal about 60–90 days before your expiration date, especially during busy hiring seasons when testing slots can fill faster around Davis and Woodland facilities.
