Learn CPR at Union College

Get certified. Save lives.

Union College offers Heartcode BLS through the American Heart Association (AHA). This CPR course meets the requirements for Union College nursing, international rescue and relief, physician assistant and occupational therapy assistant majors. It's also accepted by most health care employers. 

The course is comprised of two portions:

1.

An online class taken through AHA. This section costs $36 paid directly to AHA. Register online here: https://shopcpr.heart.org/heartcode-bls

You will need to complete the survey to obtain your online completion certificate. This certificate is not acceptable for a CPR card, you will need to complete the in-person skills session and bring a copy of your online certificate with you.

2.

After completing the online portion, you will need to complete a skills check. It costs $30. Payment must be in cash or checks made out to Union College. Register for the skills portion here: https://ugroups.ucollege.edu/events?topic_tags=2481754.

Please sign up for only one slot. Skills checks begin promptly. If you are late you will be asked to reschedule your skills check.
