San Jose healthcare professionals need flexible training options. Hospital shift schedules at Regional Medical Center of San Jose, O’Connor Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, and Kaiser Permanente San Jose don’t always align with fixed classroom sessions. That’s why Self-Guided Learning™ courses from the American Heart Association® are gaining traction among nurses, EMTs, paramedics, and physicians across Silicon Valley.
Safety Training Seminars offers Self-Guided Learning courses for BLS, ACLS, and PALS at their Willow Glen location — 1261 Lincoln Ave, Suite 213, San Jose, CA 95125. The office is open Monday through Sunday, 8 am to 10 pm. You can complete the entire course pathway on your own schedule, without attending a fixed classroom event.
Self-Guided Learning™ is an American Heart Association® learning approach that combines two independent components:
Together, these two components fulfill the requirements of the Self-Guided Learning course pathway. Upon successful completion of both, learners receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard for BLS, ACLS, or PALS.
This is different from blended learning, which requires an instructor-led skills session. Self-Guided Learning courses are fully self-directed — no instructor, no fixed class time, no group schedule.
The online learning activity uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology continuously assesses your knowledge and confidence level, then adjusts the content path based on your responses.
Spend less time on topics you already understand. Focus more on areas where gaps exist. The result: a personalized, competency-focused learning experience aligned with the latest American Heart Association guidelines.
You can start and stop at any time. The course is accessible on desktop, laptop, or tablet. Completing the online learning activity alone does not result in an AHA Course Completion eCard — you must also complete the self-guided skills session.
The self-guided skills session takes place at the CPR Verification Station™ learning center inside Safety Training Seminars’ Willow Glen office. No instructor is present during the session.
During the skills session, you independently perform required psychomotor skills — compressions, ventilations, and two-rescuer CPR. The CPR Verification Station learning center provides real-time, objective performance feedback using a Voice-Assisted Manikin (VAM). The VAM measures compression depth, recoil, rate, and ventilation in real time.
The station objectively measures your performance against AHA-defined criteria. You may repeat the required skills activity as many times as needed to achieve a passing score. Most skills sessions take about 30 minutes.
Once you successfully complete both the online learning activity and the self-guided skills session, you receive your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard — the same day.
Self-Guided Learning courses work well for:
If your employer requires an American Heart Association BLS, ACLS, or PALS Provider eCard — this course pathway meets that requirement.
