American Heart Association Certification
AHA BLS and ACLS Certification Courses
Cardiac Edge delivers American Heart Association BLS and ACLS certification across Haines City 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.

Official AHA Training Site
Haines City, FL sits at the "Heart of Florida" on US-27 between Orlando and Tampa, and the residential boom along SR-544 has pulled new dental offices, urgent cares, and family medical practices in behind it to serve all those new rooftops. Growth that fast means clinics opening with staff who need AHA certification before they ever see a patient — and in a community where nearly half the residents are Hispanic, the front desk and the exam room both run bilingual. We bring AHA BLS and ACLS certification straight to the new practice off SR-544, the urgent care along US-27, or the physical-therapy clinic, by appointment, so a brand-new team gets certified together without anyone burning a day driving to Orlando or Tampa for it. You can also train at a Central Florida space we arrange — and either way you walk out with the card and the real hands-on skill behind it, not a slideshow.
