Employment Opportunities

The AHA BLS Provider Certification can significantly impact employment, especially for those in healthcare or emergency response fields, as it is often a mandatory credential for these roles. Here’s how it can affect employment:

1. Job Requirement in Healthcare and Emergency Professions

• Many healthcare employers, such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, require current BLS certification as a hiring prerequisite for roles like nurses, physicians, EMTs, paramedics, and other allied health positions.
• Non-certified applicants might not qualify for these roles until they complete the certification, so having it beforehand makes candidates more attractive and ready for immediate employment.

2. Enhances Employability and Competitiveness

• For those in roles where BLS is not strictly required, such as medical office staff or certain administrative positions in healthcare settings, BLS certification can still be a strong advantage. It shows a proactive approach to patient safety and readiness to handle emergencies.
• The certification can make candidates stand out, especially in highly competitive fields like nursing and paramedicine, where employers value emergency preparedness.

3. Skill Validation for Non-Healthcare Roles

• BLS certification is increasingly valued in non-healthcare jobs, such as fitness training, education, childcare, and corporate wellness programs, where employees might need to respond to medical emergencies.
• Certified individuals are often preferred in these roles, as they bring added safety capabilities to the workplace.

4. Career Advancement and Retention

• For those already employed in healthcare, BLS certification is typically required for job retention and advancement. Many employers require proof of up-to-date certification as part of ongoing employment.
• Renewing BLS certification can also be essential for career growth, as advanced certifications (such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support, or ACLS) often require an active BLS certification as a prerequisite.

5. Increased Confidence and Leadership Potential

• Holding a BLS certification may increase a person’s confidence in emergency situations, which is valuable in any workplace. This confidence can position certified employees as informal leaders in emergency response scenarios, making them more valuable to their teams and organizations.

In summary, obtaining an AHA BLS Provider Certification can boost job prospects, enhance employability, fulfill job requirements, and even support career advancement across a wide range of professions, making it a valuable certification in both healthcare and non-healthcare roles.

FAQs About Our In-Person: BLS Provider Class

Is it online? Is their an in-person test?

The class is completely in-person. There is no online component and everything is provided at the institution. Students are advised to bring a notebook, pen and/or pencils to the class.

Do I need to renew this certification? How often?

Yes, the AHA BLS Provider Certification requires renewal every two years to stay current. The American Heart Association mandates this to ensure that healthcare professionals and others maintain their proficiency in life-saving techniques and are up to date with the latest resuscitation science and guidelines.

Key Points on Renewal:

1. Two-Year Validity:
   • Once you earn your BLS certification, it is valid for two years from the date of completion. After that, it expires, and you’ll need to complete a renewal course to remain certified.
2. Renewal Course:
   • Many AHA training centers offer a BLS renewal or recertification course, which is typically shorter than the initial certification course.
   • The renewal course includes a review of key skills, updates on any changes in guidelines, and hands-on assessments to confirm proficiency.
3. Staying Updated with Changes:
   • CPR and emergency response guidelines are periodically updated based on new research, so renewing your certification ensures you’re practicing the most effective, up-to-date techniques.
4. Importance of Timely Renewal:
   • Some employers require proof of current BLS certification as part of employment, so keeping your certification up-to-date can help avoid any interruptions in meeting job requirements.

It’s recommended to check your certification card or certificate for the expiration date and plan to renew a few months before expiration.

Students who complete the full certification and who have an eligible AHA account will be able to accept CE’s through the AHA website.

Key Points about Nationwide Validity:

1. Universally Accepted by Healthcare Employers:
   • AHA BLS certification is a standard requirement for healthcare roles (like nurses, doctors, EMTs) across all states, making it widely recognized and respected nationwide.
2. Portable Credential:
   • Since it is nationally recognized, you can carry the certification with you if you move or work in different states without needing to re-certify immediately (as long as it remains valid for two years).
3. Widely Recognized in Various Sectors:
   • Many non-healthcare employers, such as schools, fitness centers, and corporate workplaces, accept AHA certification for their emergency response team members.
4. Accepted by Licensing and Certification Boards:
   • Many healthcare licensing boards require AHA BLS certification, or an equivalent, for licensure or certification, and the AHA BLS is typically accepted across the board.

Renewal Nationwide:

• After two years, you’ll need to renew the certification, and you can do this through any AHA-approved training center, no matter where you are in the country.

IV Technicians in the Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician program are not required to submit a virtual internship video because of the venipuncture requirement under the Phlebotomy Technician section. Venipuncture technique is practiced in both phlebotomy and IV insertion so this skill is covered in the phlebotomy clinical internship.

Each skill requirement must be supervised and signed off on a clinical competency form that will be provided to the student.

Phlebotomy Career Training students may begin working immediately after graduation.  Students will be provided access to Phlebotomy Career Training’s Job board where they can explore and apply to jobs which employers have asked our staff to post just for our students.  There are also opportunities for internships, should the student wish to train more in their field of specialty rather than begin working with pay.  Physicians, laboratories, hospitals and urgent cares contact Phlebotomy Career Training weekly seeking our graduates.  The Job Board contains videos on how to interview for hospital positions, free resume template downloads, job fairs and much more.  Students will be given a pass code to access the job board.

FAQs About Our In-Person Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician Program

Do the In-Person courses require an in-person test?

How does the internship/ externship work?

As part of the Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician Certification Program, students will be performing their clinicals at the school through Dearborn Diagnostics Laboratory, which is a CLIA waived lab.  Students will be instructed on how to draw blood, perform ECG’s and start IV’s.  Students will come to lab/school during assigned blood draw days with a volunteer (over the age of 18) to be supervised by our instructors in the technique of blood drawing.  Students should plan to achieve anywhere from 15-30 blood draws.  We do not have the students take full tubes of blood from their volunteers.  For students who do not have any volunteers, we suggest that they use the buddy system with their fellow students.  Our staff will also try to pair students up who do not have volunteers.  Students will have hands on practice starting I.V.’s on simulated practice arms and learn to use the IVAC machine to calculate drip rate.   Students will learn to use a real Defibrillation and see how it works. Don’t worry, we are not going to put it in shock mode.  Students will also learn the basics of CPR.  This does not mean that they will be certified in CPR, but students will be taught how to save lives with CPR as part of their course.  Students can expect to come to class once a week for 4 hours for 8 weeks.  This time does not include blood draws.  Students will begin blood draws around week 4 or 5 and come to draw days which are separate from their school meeting times.
