American Heart Association Certification
AHA BLS and ACLS Certification Courses
Highland City, FL · Initial & Renewal · Same-Day AHA Certification
Cardiac Edge delivers American Heart Association BLS and ACLS certification across Highland 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.

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.

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 Highland City and the surrounding area, seven days a week, with day and evening appointments. Request a date and we will set it.

The Highland City Difference
Official AHA Training Site
Highland City sits right on SR-60 southeast of Lakeland, FL, a fast-growing suburb filling in with the healthcare workers who staff Lakeland's practices and the government employees who keep Bartow running. As the rooftops multiply, so do the dental offices, family medicine practices, and urgent cares opening along the corridor — and every one of them carries the same AHA requirement without any way to train its own people. Instead of sending the whole team up the road on someone else's schedule, we bring AHA BLS and ACLS certification straight to Highland City by appointment. The dental suite off the highway, the physical-therapy clinic serving the new subdivisions, or your own office — train on-site or at a Central Florida training space we arrange, and leave the same day certified with the hands-on skill that backs the card.
