ACLS Academy has new digs in Bridgewater!

If you visited us in our previous East Bridgewater location, we have moved, and you’ll love our new Bridgewater location at 555 Bedford St, Suite 2A, Bridgewater, MA 02324. We are in a larger, bright, and sunny space to accommodate the plethora of classes available for students in Plymouth County.

If you don’t see a scheduled class you need in our Bridgewater location, contact us, and we’ll work with you to ensure you receive the certification you need in the timeframe you require.

Our new Bridgewater location is a bit hidden, so if you visit us here, look for our email before your course date, which provides all the details you need to find us. Plus, we’ve got lots of parking near the building, so there is no need to worry about extra time hunting for a parking spot.


ACLS Skills Session

HeartCode® ACLS is the AHA’s ACLS blended learning delivery method. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on session. The online portion of this comprehensive eLearning program uses eSimulation technology to allow students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings.

BLS and PALS skills sessions may be scheduled before or after ACLS Skills session. Please contact us or see our schedule if you need multiple certifications.


Bloodborne Pathogens

This classroom course teaches employees how to protect themselves and others from being exposed to blood or blood-containing materials. This course is designed to meet OSHA requirements for bloodborne pathogens training when paired with site-specific instruction.

Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogens was designed specifically for workers with a reasonable chance of coming into contact with bloodborne pathogens such as:

  • Childcare workers

  • Security guards

  • Maintenance workers

  • School Personnel

  • Hotel housekeepers

  • Health and fitness club staff

  • Tattoo artists


BLS Provider Course (initials and renewals)

HeartCode® BLS is the AHA’s BLS blended learning delivery method. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on session.


The skills session can take approximately 1 hour. We keep our class sizes small and can often complete all requirements efficiently.


Heartsaver Skills Session (CPR/AED/First Aid, CPR/AED, Pediatric CPR/AED/First Air or First Aid)

Heartsaver Blended Learning courses include an online portion and a hands-on session. The online portion provides the flexibility of completing training at your own pace, either at work, at home, or wherever you have Internet access. The hands-on portion includes a skills practice and testing session conducted in person with an AHA Instructor.

Heartsaver CPR/AED is not Basic Life Support (needed for healthcare providers, nursing students, and anyone with direct patient care). Heartsaver is for the non-healthcare provider.

The skills session can take approximately 1 hour.


NRP

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to the care of the newborn at birth. It facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at delivery. NRP utilizes a blended learning approach, including online testing, case-based simulations, and hands-on simulation/debriefing focusing on critical leadership, communication, and teamwork skills.​​

After completing the online modules, the skills session takes approximately 3 hours.

There are two versions of the online portion Essentials and Advanced – Essentials is for those providers that may have to initiate resuscitation but wouldn’t be involved in a full-resuscitation (ex. OBs, midwives, lactation consultants, EMTs) – Advanced is for RNs, RTs, pediatricians that would need to fully resuscitate a newborn including intubation, chest compressions, and medications

The classroom portion is the same for all learners  - so the only difference is in the online curriculum, they choose to purchase. If you are unsure which version you should take, I recommend the Advanced Provider curriculum since both costs are the same.


PALS Skills Session

HeartCode® PALS is the AHA’s PALS blended learning delivery method. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on session. The online portion of this comprehensive eLearning program uses eSimulation technology to allow students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings.
