American Heart Association Certification
AHA BLS and ACLS Certification Courses
Cardiac Edge delivers American Heart Association BLS and ACLS certification across Central Florida — 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.

Official AHA Training Site
Central Florida, FL is really eight counties stitched together along the I-4 growth corridor, and the medical work spreads out just as wide: Orlando's Medical City research campus, the aerospace clinics of the Space Coast, the beach-town practices down the Daytona coast, and the dense web of senior care feeding the nation's largest retirement community to the west. The big hospital systems anchoring those hubs train their own staff in-house; the thousands of independent dental offices, physical-therapy clinics, urgent cares and small medical practices scattered between them do not, and their AHA cards still come due every two years. Cardiac Edge exists for that second group across the whole region, bringing AHA BLS and ACLS certification to the practice by appointment, at the office itself or at a Central Florida training space we arrange. There is no waiting on a hospital education department's calendar and no shutting the clinic to send people across the county to a fixed classroom. Whether it is one dentist in Volusia or a six-person PT team near Lake Nona, the training is real hands-on skills practice built around the schedule of a practice that has patients to see. Across a service area this large and this spread out, the offices that keep moving are the ones that bring the certification to their door instead of chasing it across the corridor.

"Just took ACLS with Jason — a great teacher who really breaks down the algorithms so you actually learn them, not just memorize for the test."
