AHA BLS and ACLS Certification Courses

Auburndale, FL · Initial & Renewal · Same-Day AHA Certification

Cardiac Edge delivers American Heart Association BLS and ACLS certification across Auburndale and Polk County — taught on the same AHA curriculum the region's hospitals, surgery centers, dental practices, and nursing programs require, with official AHA course completion cards issued the same day. Every session is led by Jason "Jay" Pellegrino, a 20-year paramedic who has trained more than 15,000 providers, so you learn the resuscitation standard from someone who has run it in the field — not read it from a slide. When your credential is on the line, that experience is the difference. We bring the training to your practice or facility, or we meet at a Central Florida training space we arrange and confirm when you book — initial or renewal, by appointment, on your timeline.

Choose Your AHA Course

Pick the course you need and we come to you — by appointment, day or evening, seven days a week — or we set you up at a Central Florida training space we arrange. Initial and renewal AHA training for healthcare providers, medical practices, medical students, and nursing students, every session paramedic-taught. BLS is the American Heart Association's healthcare-provider CPR standard, covering high-quality compressions, AED use, bag-mask ventilation, and team dynamics. ACLS is the AHA's Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support course, covering rhythm recognition, megacode scenarios, airway management, and the resuscitation algorithms.

Why Cardiac Edge

The Auburndale Difference

Official AHA Training Site

Wedged on I-4 between Lakeland and Winter Haven, FL, Auburndale has grown from a historic arts colony into one of the corridor's busiest distribution and logistics hubs — and a workforce growing that fast brings a matching demand for AHA-certified hands. The dental offices, physical-therapy clinics, and urgent cares opening to serve that growth all need current BLS and ACLS cards, yet none of them run an in-house training program. That's where we come in: we bring AHA BLS and ACLS certification by appointment straight to your Auburndale practice — the dental suite, the PT clinic, the urgent care just off the interstate, or a warehouse safety team that wants a group session — or you train at a Central Florida space we arrange. Either way you pick a time that works around the shift, and the whole team walks out certified in one visit, real chest-compression-and-airway practice included, not just a card.
