AHA BLS and ACLS Certification Courses

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

Cardiac Edge delivers American Heart Association BLS and ACLS certification across DeLand and Volusia 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.

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.

American Heart Association HeartCode Skills Sessions

Completed your AHA HeartCode online course? Book the hands-on skills check-off and walk out certified the same day. We bring the skills session to you — at your practice, facility, or group anywhere in Volusia County — or we arrange a Central Florida training space and confirm the details when you book. Need full certification instead of a check-off? Ask about an initial or renewal BLS or ACLS session, with same-day certification whichever you choose. You schedule around your team's availability across DeLand and the surrounding area, seven days a week, with day and evening appointments. Request a date and we will set it.

Why Cardiac Edge

The DeLand Difference

Official AHA Training Site

DeLand — "the Athens of Florida" and the seat of Volusia County, FL — pairs a historic downtown that pulls in visitors with a world-renowned skydiving industry. Past the storefronts and the drop zones, the town runs on independent practices: the family dentist, the urgent care, the physical-therapy clinic, and the doctor's office that needs AHA-certified staff but keeps no trainer on payroll. (Stetson University, Florida's oldest private college, handles its own training in-house, so we leave the campus to them.) We bring AHA BLS and ACLS certification straight to those offices by appointment — or you train at a Central Florida space we arrange — and the whole staff knocks out their cards in one sitting, then back to work the same day. And DeLand's skydiving operations, where a calm, certified responder on the ground is non-negotiable, are exactly the kind of crew we'll come out and certify together as a group, on their schedule.
