What American Heart Association BLS is and who needs it

BLS Provider is the American Heart Association's CPR course for healthcare providers and students in healthcare programs. You practice high-quality compressions, adult, child and infant CPR, AED use, ventilations with a bag-mask device, choking relief and team-based response, then complete a skills evaluation. Hospitals, clinics, EMS programs, nursing and dental programs and clinical rotation sites commonly require it, and many students take it before ACLS or PALS.

If your requirement says CPR, AED or First Aid and does not mention BLS, the right course is usually AHA Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED. AHA BLS cards are generally valid for two years, through the end of the issue month. The course itself is described in full on the AHA BLS Provider Houston page.

Cardiox Care lists this as the convenient office for students from North Houston, Greenspoint, Spring, Humble, Aldine and the IAH side of Houston. Coming from Cypress? See CPR and BLS class options near Cypress.

BLS options at the North Houston office

You can book AHA BLS here in two ways. Both lead to the same AHA BLS Provider eCard.

BLS Full Class

Classroom AHA BLS training with hands-on practice and a skills evaluation, followed by your AHA BLS Provider eCard after successful completion and processing. Each class is scheduled for 3 hours 40 minutes, and your confirmation shows the exact start and end time. Cardiox Care's guidance is that most healthcare providers, first-time or renewing, need the Full Class unless their employer specifically requires ACLS or PALS.

Renewing your BLS card

Renewals do not have their own calendar. Book the BLS Full Class and choose BLS Renewal at checkout if your AHA BLS card is active or expired within the last 30 days. Without a current AHA BLS card, choose BLS Initial at checkout. Renewal students send their card before class, as described below.

BLS Skills Session

Hands-on skills practice and instructor skills testing for students who have already purchased and completed AHA HeartCode BLS online, the American Heart Association's blended format. The session is scheduled for 2 hours and leads to the same AHA BLS Provider eCard after successful completion and processing. If you have not finished HeartCode BLS, book the Full Class.

Also taking ACLS or PALS? BLS is offered as an add-on in the AHA ACLS and AHA PALS checkouts, so you can register once:

  • ACLS and BLS: book your AHA ACLS class (Full Class or Skills Session) and choose Add BLS at checkout. Dates and directions: AHA ACLS classes in North Houston.
  • PALS and BLS: book your AHA PALS class (Full Class or Skills Session) and choose Add BLS at checkout. Dates and directions: AHA PALS classes in North Houston.
  • ACLS and PALS, with or without BLS: book the ACLS Full Class or the PALS Full Class. Its checkout offers the other course as an add-on, as well as BLS. The added ACLS or PALS session meets on a separate day; you choose that date during your class or by calling after you register.

The BLS checkout does not offer ACLS or PALS. If you have already booked BLS, book ACLS or PALS separately, or text 281-524-2767 for help.

Need Red Cross BLS instead? Cardiox Care runs American Red Cross BLS skills sessions at this office too; see American Red Cross BLS and CPR classes. Book it only if your requirement accepts a Red Cross certificate, because it is not a substitute where AHA BLS is required.

The classroom and equipment

The North Houston office is a classroom suite in an office building, with real training equipment, comfortable seating and a clean setup for healthcare and workplace students. Each student works on their own manikin: new Prestan LED manikins with adult, child and infant stations, at a one-to-one ratio, so you are hands-on for the whole class.

The office runs weekday and weekend classes, with several dates each week. Choose the option first, then the date:

Is this the Spring location?

The North Houston classroom is at 397 N Sam Houston Pkwy E. in Greenspoint. Cardiox Care's North Houston and Spring area guide covers students from Spring, Cypress, Tomball, The Woodlands and the I-45 North corridor, but a city guide does not mean there is a separate classroom in that city. Classes for the north side are held at this Greenspoint address.

I also need ACLS or PALS. How do I register?

BLS is an add-on in the AHA ACLS and AHA PALS checkouts. For ACLS and BLS, book your ACLS class and choose Add BLS at checkout. For PALS and BLS, book your PALS class and choose Add BLS at checkout. For ACLS and PALS, book either Full Class and add the other course at checkout; it meets on a separate day. The BLS checkout does not offer ACLS or PALS, so if you have already booked BLS, book the other class separately or text 281-524-2767.

How do I change my class date?

Call or text 281-524-2767 from the phone number you registered with.

How will my employer check my card?

Your card is issued through the American Heart Association, and employers can check it on the AHA eCard verification portal. It shows your name, the course (AHA BLS Provider), the issue date, the training site (Cardiox Care) and the card status.

All courses at this office are listed on the North Houston office page.
