Students enrolled at Unitek College Bakersfield are often preparing for demanding, patient-facing careers where life-saving skills are not optional — they are essential.

The BLS (Basic Life Support) course is the foundation for healthcare students entering clinical or patient-facing environments. Designed around AHA guidelines, the BLS course covers high-quality CPR technique for adults, children, and infants, proper AED use, relief of choking, and coordinated team-based resuscitation response. For Unitek College Bakersfield students preparing for clinical rotations, externships, or healthcare employment, completing a current BLS course is one of the most important steps in your academic and professional preparation.
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) The ACLS course is designed for healthcare students and professionals who will be working in settings where adult cardiovascular emergencies may occur. ACLS builds on BLS fundamentals and adds advanced airway management, ECG rhythm recognition, pharmacology applications, and structured team-based emergency response algorithms. For Unitek College Bakersfield students advancing into acute care, emergency medicine, or hospital-based clinical rotations, ACLS course completion is often required before entering high-acuity environments.
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) The PALS course prepares healthcare students for emergencies involving pediatric patients — infants, children, and adolescents. PALS training covers respiratory distress, shock recognition, pediatric resuscitation, and the systematic PALS approach to emergency assessment. Students in programs that involve pediatric care settings, pediatric clinical rotations, or family medicine environments may be required to complete PALS training before beginning patient contact.
CPR and First Aid training through Safety Training Seminars gives Unitek College Bakersfield students the practical, hands-on skills to respond confidently to emergencies in campus, clinical, childcare, fitness, and workplace settings. Students learn adult, child, and infant CPR, AED operation, choking relief, wound care, and basic emergency response. For students pursuing childcare certifications, fitness training roles, teaching positions, or safety-sensitive employment, First Aid and CPR course completion is frequently a condition of hire or program completion. Safety Training Seminars ensures your training meets AHA standards from day one.
Unitek College Bakersfield students manage demanding academic schedules, and finding time for in-person training sessions can be a real challenge. Safety Training Seminars offers Self-Guided Learning™ courses that allow students to complete the knowledge-based portion of their course entirely online, at their own pace, on their own schedule — before or after class, on weekends, or during breaks.
Once the online portion is complete, students visit the CPR Verification Station™ learning center at our Bakersfield, CA training center to complete their required in-person skills session. This blended approach gives you the flexibility to learn on your time while still completing a fully valid, AHA-recognized course.
The HeartCode® Complete course is an AHA-developed blended learning option available for select life support courses. HeartCode® Complete combines fully online self-directed learning with an in-person skills evaluation session completed at the CPR Verification Station™ learning center. After successfully completing both the online component and the in-person skills session, students receive their AHA Course Completion eCard — the digital documentation recognized by clinical sites, hospitals, employers, and healthcare programs. Ask our Bakersfield team whether HeartCode® Complete is the right option for your specific course requirement.
Getting your AHA course completed at Safety Training Seminars is a simple, structured process built around your schedule:
Step 1 – Complete the Online Self-Paced Portion Log in and work through your Self-Guided Learning™ course modules at your own pace, from any device, on your own schedule. No fixed class times, no waiting for others.
Step 2 – Visit the CPR Verification Station™ Learning Center Once your online portion is done, visit our Bakersfield, CA training center at 2116 24th Street, Suite 2, to complete your in-person skills session at the CPR Verification Station™ learning center — or complete your arranged skills session if group training has been organized near Unitek College Bakersfield.
