Sacramento healthcare professionals have a flexible new way to complete their American Heart Association® training. Safety Training Seminars, located at 2501 Capitol Ave Suite 107 in Midtown Sacramento, offers Self-Guided Learning™ courses for BLS, ACLS, and PALS—combining self-paced online learning with a self-guided skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center.
You don’t need to block off an entire day or rearrange your shift schedule. With Self-Guided Learning, you study online at your own pace, then complete your skills session when it fits your calendar. For nurses, paramedics, and physicians working at nearby facilities like UC Davis Health (2315 Stockton Blvd) and Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento (2825 Capitol Ave), this format removes a real barrier to staying current with American Heart Association training requirements.
Self-Guided Learning™ is a course-based learning option from the American Heart Association® that includes two components:
Unlike blended learning—which still requires a scheduled session with an instructor—Self-Guided Learning courses let you complete both components entirely on your own. There is no instructor facilitation during the skills session. Instead, the CPR Verification Station learning center provides real-time, objective performance feedback using a Voice-Assisted Manikin (VAM).
Upon successful completion of both components, learners receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard for BLS, ACLS, or PALS.
The online portion of a Self-Guided Learning course uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology continuously evaluates your knowledge and confidence level, then adjusts the content path accordingly. If you already understand a concept, the system moves you forward. If you have a knowledge gap, it focuses more time there.
The result: a personalized learning pathway that is efficient and competency-focused. Most learners complete the online BLS activity in 1–2 hours. ACLS and PALS online learning typically takes 2–3 hours.
The online activity must be completed before scheduling your skills session. Completing the online portion alone does not result in an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard.
The self-guided skills session is completed at the CPR Verification Station™ learning center at Safety Training Seminars’ Sacramento Midtown office—on the corner of Capitol Ave and 25th St, a few blocks from Sutter Medical Center and Capitol Park.
During the session, you independently perform the required psychomotor skills on a Voice-Assisted Manikin. The station measures performance against AHA-defined criteria, including compression depth, recoil, rate, and ventilation. You receive real-time, audiovisual feedback throughout.
There is no instructor present. No live coaching. No scheduled group session to coordinate with. The skills session typically takes around 30 minutes.
You may repeat the required skills activity as needed to achieve a passing score. Upon successful completion of both the online learning activity and the self-guided skills session, you receive your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard the same day.
Safety Training Seminars offers Self-Guided Learning courses for three American Heart Association programs:
All three courses follow the latest American Heart Association 2025 guidelines. All three result in an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard valid for two years.
