Be Ready When Every Second Counts. Professional CPR, BLS & First Aid Certification Across Oklahoma

The American Heart Association (AHA) BLS Provider course is $60 per participant, or $80 with the required course manual included. The Health & Safety Institute (HSI) BLS course is $70 per participant.

For your convenience, course fees are clearly displayed with each class description and will be confirmed again during the online booking process, allowing you to review the total cost before completing your registration and payment.

Upon successful completion of all required course components, certification cards are typically issued within 24 hours of completing the class.

Card issuance timelines are subject to the processing systems and availability of the applicable certifying organization, including the American Heart Association (AHA), American Red Cross (ARC), and Health & Safety Institute (HSI). While Kardiá CPR makes every effort to issue certification cards promptly, delays beyond our control may occasionally occur.

Most CPR, AED, First Aid, and Basic Life Support (BLS) certifications issued through the American Heart Association (AHA), American Red Cross (ARC), and Health & Safety Institute (HSI) are valid for two years. Specific expiration dates may vary by course and certifying organization.

Bloodborne Pathogens training has different requirements. Under OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.1030, employers must provide training at least annually for employees covered by the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Additional training may be required when changes in job responsibilities or procedures introduce new occupational exposure risks.

Kardiá CPR recommends verifying your certification's expiration date and any additional training requirements established by your employer, licensing board, or regulatory agency.

Most nursing students should select the American Heart Association (AHA) BLS Provider course, which provides Basic Life Support training designed for healthcare professionals.

Oklahoma nursing programs, including the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) and the University of Oklahoma (OU) College of Nursing, specifically require AHA BLS certification. Other CPR certifications, including Heartsaver and BLS credentials from different providers, may not satisfy these requirements.

Before registering, always verify your school's current certification requirements. Requirements may vary by institution, academic program, or clinical training facility.

Kardiá CPR offers AHA BLS Provider certification and renewal courses to help nursing students meet their program's training requirements.

Dental and dental hygiene students generally need Basic Life Support (BLS) certification designed for healthcare professionals to meet their educational and clinical training requirements.

The University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry recommends either American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross (ARC) BLS for Healthcare Providers certification. Training must include hands-on skills assessment, and Heartsaver CPR certification alone does not satisfy the college's requirements.

Students must maintain current BLS certification throughout their educational program, with renewal typically required every two years.

Before registering, verify your school's specific certification requirements, as accepted providers and training standards may vary by institution.

Kardiá CPR offers hands-on BLS certification and renewal courses to help dental and dental hygiene students meet their training requirements.

Certain American Heart Association (AHA) courses qualify for Continuing Education (CE) or Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, depending on the course, training format, and participant's profession.

Kardiá CPR does not independently award CE/CME credits. Eligible credits are administered through the American Heart Association and its applicable accreditation processes.

How to Claim Eligible Credits:

1. Complete Your Training: Successfully complete your course and receive your AHA certification eCard.
2. Access AHA Atlas: Visit atlas.heart.org and sign in using the email address associated with your eCard.
3. Claim Available Credits: Navigate to Proof of Completion, access your eCard, and select Claim CE if the option is available. This option may take up to 24 hours after eCard issuance to appear.
4. Submit Your Information: Complete the required claim form. Eligible credits will be processed according to the applicable accreditation requirements.

Important: Not all courses qualify for CE/CME credit, and acceptance varies by profession and licensing authority. Some online and blended learning courses require credits to be claimed through the AHA's eLearning platform rather than Atlas.

Participants should verify their continuing education requirements with their employer, licensing board, or professional organization before registering.

Oklahoma child care professionals must complete CPR and First Aid training through providers approved by the Oklahoma Center for Early Childhood Professional Development (CECPD). Approved providers include the American Heart Association (AHA), American Red Cross (ARC), and Health & Safety Institute (HSI).

Training should include age-appropriate CPR and emergency response skills for infants and children. Not all online courses meet Oklahoma's child care licensing requirements, so selecting an approved course with appropriate hands-on training is important.

Kardiá CPR offers the AHA Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED course, designed for daycare employees, childcare providers, preschool staff, and others responsible for the safety of infants and children.

Before registering, confirm your employer's specific requirements and review the current CECPD Approved CPR and First Aid Training List.

The appropriate course depends on your profession, educational program, or workplace requirements.

Basic Life Support (BLS) is designed for healthcare professionals, first responders, and students pursuing careers in nursing, dentistry, medicine, and other healthcare fields.

Heartsaver CPR AED is generally appropriate for individuals outside the healthcare profession, including teachers, coaches, office personnel, and other workplace employees. Depending on your responsibilities, additional First Aid training may be required.

Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED is designed for childcare providers and others responsible for the care of infants and children.

Not sure which course to choose? Confirm the required certification, accepted training provider, and course format with your employer, school, or licensing organization before registering.

Not all online CPR certifications meet employer, educational, or regulatory requirements. OSHA and many healthcare training programs require hands-on skills practice as part of CPR and First Aid training.

Online-only courses without practical skills training may not satisfy these requirements. However, recognized blended learning programs that combine online instruction with an approved hands-on skills assessment can provide valid certification.

Kardiá CPR offers instructor-led, hands-on CPR, AED, First Aid, and Basic Life Support (BLS) training, helping participants develop practical lifesaving skills and meet applicable certification requirements.

Before registering, always confirm that your employer, school, or licensing organization accepts the course and training format you select.

Yes. The Health & Safety Institute (HSI) is a nationally recognized training organization offering CPR, AED, First Aid, and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. HSI training is accepted by numerous employers, regulatory agencies, and professional organizations, including Oklahoma's approved childcare training programs.

However, certification requirements vary by employer, school, and licensing authority. For example, the University of Central Oklahoma and University of Oklahoma nursing programs specifically require American Heart Association (AHA) BLS certification, while OU's College of Dentistry recommends AHA or American Red Cross BLS.

Before registering, confirm which certification provider and course your employer or educational program requires. Kardiá CPR offers both AHA and HSI training options to help you select the appropriate certification.

Upon successful completion of your training, you will receive the certification card corresponding to your selected course.

American Heart Association (AHA): BLS Provider, Heartsaver CPR AED, Heartsaver First Aid, Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED, or Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED.

Health & Safety Institute (HSI): Basic Life Support (BLS) or the applicable First Aid CPR AED certification.

Please Note: AHA Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogens training provides a course completion certificate or participation card rather than a standard CPR certification eCard.

OSHA requires employers to ensure prompt access to emergency medical care. Under 29 CFR 1910.151, workplaces without appropriate medical services nearby must have adequately trained First Aid personnel available.

For workplaces where serious injuries are reasonably foreseeable, OSHA generally expects emergency medical assistance to be available within 3 to 4 minutes. While CPR certification is not universally required, certain industries and workplace conditions have additional training requirements.

OSHA also emphasizes hands-on skills training; online-only instruction does not satisfy applicable First Aid and CPR training requirements.

Kardiá CPR offers convenient, on-site CPR, AED, and First Aid training to help businesses prepare employees for emergencies and meet applicable workplace safety requirements.

If your job needs a card, probably not. A 2018 okcfox report on the Oklahoma City Fire Department's free class said it "can't be used for certification." A free class is a good way to learn the basics; for a card, book a certification class.

Yes. Renewals join the regular class at the same price, so book the class that matches the card you need.
