Safety Training Seminars
Florida’s population is older, larger, and growing faster than almost anywhere in the country — and its healthcare system is under continuous pressure to keep pace. From the cardiac care units of Miami-Dade to the emergency departments serving Central Florida’s sprawling tourism corridor, clinical professionals need life support training that’s rigorous, flexible, and immediately applicable. Safety Training Seminars provides CPR BLS, ACLS, and PALS classes across Florida designed for exactly that kind of readiness.
Florida’s healthcare workforce carries a weight that few other states can match. Hillsborough County alone has seen its hospital system strained by one of the fastest-growing metro populations in the Southeast, with Tampa General Hospital and the AdventHealth network managing patient volumes that demand constant clinical readiness at every staffing level. Across the state in Broward County, the density of urgent care clinics, surgical centers, and long-term care facilities serving Fort Lauderdale and its surrounding communities creates similar pressure — and similar expectations around life support credentialing.
Our BLS, ACLS, and PALS classes are structured around what Florida clinicians actually face. Hands-on AED operation, team-based resuscitation scenarios, high-quality CPR mechanics, and airway management techniques aren’t abstract curriculum here — they’re the skills your colleagues are counting on when the monitor alarms and there’s no time to remember a lecture. We train for that moment specifically.
Safety Training Seminars brings life-saving training to communities across the entire state. Our courses serve healthcare professionals and community members in South Daytona, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Pensacola, Gainesville, Orlando, West Orlando, Southeast Orlando, Miramar, Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, Greenacres, Tampa, Largo, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Lakeland, St. Petersburg, Boca Raton, and Midtown Miami — spanning Duval, Leon, Escambia, Alachua, Orange, Broward, Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Lee, Polk, and Palm Beach Counties.
Every course is taught by AHA-authorized instructors. Upon successful completion, you receive an official AHA certification card valid for 2 years, recognized by hospitals, clinics, and employers across the Florida and nationwide.
The AHA BLS certification is the gold standard for healthcare providers. Covers adult, child, and infant CPR; AED use; airway obstruction relief; and team-based resuscitation. The class length consists of 1-2 hours online followed by 30 minutes of skills testing. You will receive a two year card, and the total price is $120.
ACLS builds on BLS to cover management of acute stroke, acute coronary syndromes, and periarrest conditions. The class length is 2-3 hours online with 30 minutes of skills testing.This two year card is offered at $290 (low price guaranteed).
PALS certification is required for pediatric nurses, pediatricians, family physicians, NPs, and PAs working with infants and children. This PALS Provider Initial or Renewal track includes 2-3 hours of online work and 30 minutes of skills testing with price of $290
A vital First aid Class in for non-clinical workers, this course prepares you for everyday workplace and public safety emergencies. CPR & First-aid Initial or Renewal class length involves 2-3 hours online and 1 hour of skills testing. You will receive an AHA card with a two year card validity for a price of $120.
The Florida 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.
Florida’s clinical environments demand precision — not just familiarity. Our advanced training programs give healthcare professionals across the state the depth of skill and situational confidence that hospital systems and outpatient operators expect from day one.
The AHA BLS CPR Course is the credentialing baseline for clinical professionals throughout Florida’s health systems — from the nursing staff at UF Health Shands in Gainesville to the emergency teams serving Lee Health facilities across Fort Myers and Bonita Springs. The course builds competency in adult, child, and infant CPR, effective AED use, obstructed airway management, and the team communication skills that keep a resuscitation effort coordinated under pressure. Structured as 1–2 hours of online Self-Guided Learning™ followed by 30 minutes of hands-on skills testing, your AHA Course Completion eCard is valid for two years and priced at $120 — the most accessible entry point for BLS-required roles across Florida.
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support goes where BLS can’t — into the clinical complexity of sustained cardiac emergencies that require rhythm interpretation, pharmacological decision-making, and coordinated advanced airway management. Our ACLS course is built for emergency physicians, critical care nurses, hospitalists, and advanced practice providers working in Florida’s high-acuity environments. Whether you’re covering an overnight in a Broward County emergency department or managing step-down patients in a Pinellas County specialty unit, this course prepares you for what happens when the situation escalates. Available as Initial or Renewal, 2–3 hours online with 30 minutes of skills testing, the American Heart Association ACLS eCard is valid for two years at $290 — low price guaranteed.
Caring for critically ill children demands a different kind of focus. Our PALS course equips pediatric nurses, emergency physicians, transport teams, and neonatal staff to assess and intervene in life-threatening pediatric emergencies with speed and clinical accuracy. The course covers the AHA’s Pediatric Assessment Triangle, respiratory and shock recognition, resuscitation algorithms for infants and children, and team-based simulation scenarios. Florida’s children’s hospitals, pediatric urgent care networks, and community EDs all depend on staff who can apply these skills immediately when it matters. Available as Initial or Renewal, 2–3 hours online with 30 minutes of skills testing. The American Heart Association PALS eCard is accepted nationally, valid for two years, and priced at $290 — low price guaranteed.
Florida’s non-clinical workforce — hotel staff along the I-Drive corridor, school employees in Orange and Palm Beach Counties, personal trainers at gyms in Boca Raton and St. Petersburg, and corporate teams throughout Lakeland’s distribution hub — has just as much reason to be prepared as any clinical department. Our CPR & First Aid course is built for everyday responders: people who may face a cardiac emergency at work, in a classroom, or at a community event long before EMS arrives. Coverage includes adult and pediatric CPR, AED use, bleeding control, sudden illness recognition, and choking response. Available as Initial or Renewal, 2–3 hours online with 1 hour of hands-on skills testing, and your AHA eCard is valid for two years at $120 — low price guaranteed.
Florida’s healthcare sector is expanding at a rate few states can rival. HCA Healthcare operates dozens of Florida facilities, Baptist Health South Florida continues its growth across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, and independent urgent care and ambulatory surgery networks have proliferated throughout the I-4 corridor, serving Orlando, Lakeland, and the communities between them. Every new facility, every expanded department, every new hire in a clinical role comes with a credentialing requirement — and BLS is almost always the floor, with ACLS and PALS required for a growing range of positions. For Florida healthcare professionals, staying current isn’t a preference. It’s a job condition.
The statistics are one thing. The reality is another. At Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami or the emergency department at Tampa General, the clinical staff responding to a code aren’t operating on adrenaline alone — they’re operating on muscle memory built through exactly this kind of training. For the nurse’s aide who notices a patient going unresponsive, the EMT meeting a family in a Tallahassee parking lot, or the hotel security officer at a property near International Drive — what they do in the first two minutes shapes everything that follows. Our courses are built to make those two minutes count.
Florida is a big state with a mobile, shift-driven workforce. A course format that requires you to show up at a fixed location at a fixed time doesn’t work for a nurse wrapping up a night shift in Pensacola, a traveling clinician rotating through Jacksonville, or a caregiver managing home visits across Greenacres and the Palm Beach County interior. Our Self-Guided Learning™ platform lets you complete your BLS, ACLS, or PALS cognitive content entirely online — at home, between shifts, or on a device in a break room. Skills testing is scheduled separately, at a time and location that works for your actual life. That’s not a compromise. That’s just a smarter way to train.
HeartCode® Complete is the AHA’s blended learning solution for BLS, and it’s the backbone of our online training pathway. The platform delivers an adaptive online curriculum that responds to your existing knowledge base — moving efficiently where you’re already confident, adding reinforcement where the material benefits from it. Florida’s hospital credentialing coordinators and outpatient practice managers recognize HeartCode® Complete as a rigorous, compliant pathway to the AHA Course Completion eCard. It’s not a workaround. It’s the standard.
The CPR Verification Station™ learning center is where your online coursework becomes demonstrated clinical skill. These sites are purpose-built for efficient, structured skills assessment — equipped with high-fidelity training manikins, AED simulators, and the scenario setups needed to validate CPR technique, airway management, and AED operation. The entire skills component typically takes under 45 minutes. No large groups, no waiting for a full class to assemble — just a focused skills check that completes your training and triggers your eCard issuance.
Renewal cycles move faster than most clinicians expect, and Florida’s healthcare credentialing environment doesn’t leave much room for expired cards. Whether your BLS, ACLS, PALS, or CPR & First Aid eCard is approaching expiration or already past it, the renewal process through Safety Training Seminars is straightforward and fast. Florida hospital systems — including HCA facilities, AdventHealth campuses, and Baptist Health networks — routinely flag expired credentials during re-credentialing cycles. An expired card can translate to temporary loss of patient care privileges. Renewing proactively, ideally four to six weeks before your expiration date, keeps you fully compliant and uninterrupted.
Florida’s clinical community is one of the most diverse in the country, and Safety Training Seminars has built a training record that reflects that breadth. We serve:
The clinical workforce is the obvious starting point, but the full picture is considerably wider. Dental offices throughout Broward County and the greater Orlando area are required to maintain BLS readiness among their clinical staff. Home health aides and personal care workers supporting Florida’s enormous senior population in communities across Lee and Collier Counties benefit tremendously from current CPR and First Aid training. Teachers and paraprofessionals in Miami-Dade and Duval County school districts are increasingly expected to hold CPR credentials as part of their employment. Fitness professionals at gyms and wellness studios throughout St. Petersburg and Boca Raton, resort and theme park safety staff in Orange County, lifeguards at Florida’s coastal communities, and corporate workplace safety designees all have legitimate, often job-related reasons to be trained. If your work puts you near people — which in Florida is essentially everyone — being prepared is simply responsible.
Florida’s healthcare employers aren’t waiting — and neither should you. Whether you’re completing your first BLS course, renewing an expiring ACLS card before your next credentialing cycle, or finally getting the First Aid training your workplace has been asking for, Safety Training Seminars makes the process clear, fast, and fully AHA-compliant. Start your online coursework today through our Self-Guided Learning™ platform, schedule your CPR Verification Station™ skills session at a location near you, and receive your AHA Course Completion eCard the same day you test.

Florida’s Department of Health and individual healthcare employers set credentialing requirements that typically include current BLS as a condition of employment for all direct patient care roles. ACLS and PALS are additionally required for emergency, critical care, and pediatric positions at most Florida hospital systems. Our courses follow American Heart Association curriculum and result in nationally recognized AHA Course Completion eCards that satisfy these requirements.
Most participants complete the BLS course in a single day. The online Self-Guided Learning™ content typically takes 1–2 hours, and the skills testing session at a CPR Verification Station™ runs approximately 30 minutes. Once you successfully complete both components, your AHA Course Completion eCard is issued digitally — usually the same day as your skills session.
Yes. AHA Course Completion eCards are accepted nationally across all 50 states. Whether you’re on a travel contract in Tampa this quarter or rotating to a different state next month, the eCard you receive through Safety Training Seminars will satisfy AHA-compliant BLS requirements wherever you work.
Yes. You can enroll in multiple courses simultaneously or sequentially. Many Florida clinicians who need both BLS and ACLS complete the online portions of each on their own schedule and then schedule back-to-back skills testing sessions at a nearby CPR Verification Station™ to knock both out in a single visit.
If your PALS card has expired, we recommend contacting us directly to determine the most appropriate enrollment pathway. In many cases, the renewal format is still suitable even after a short lapse — but this depends on your employer’s specific credentialing policies and how long the card has been expired. Our team can help you navigate that quickly.
Yes. We have CPR Verification Station™ learning center locations serving South Florida, including communities throughout Broward and Miami-Dade Counties such as Miramar, Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, and Midtown Miami. Available locations and scheduling are accessible during enrollment so you can choose the site most convenient to your home or workplace.
