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

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

Official AHA Training Site
Lake County, FL is really two markets stitched together: an older, slower-paced retirement north around Leesburg and Tavares, and the explosively growing South Lake corridor where Clermont, Minneola and Groveland keep adding rooftops and medical plazas along US-27 and SR-50. AdventHealth Waterman and AdventHealth Minneola anchor that landscape and train their own staff in-house, but the independent dentist offices, physical-therapy clinics, urgent cares and physician practices filling the spaces between them don't have that luxury. Those small teams are opening along the SR-50 line faster than the county's older training options can keep up with, which leaves a five-person clinic either driving toward Orlando or waiting weeks for an open seat just to renew a card. Cardiac Edge closes that gap by bringing AHA BLS and ACLS certification straight to your Lake County office, by appointment and on your schedule, with hands-on skills checks done in person instead of rushed through a video. When an off-site date works better, we'll set you up at a Central Florida training space we arrange, so either way your staff gets real, current certification without burning a half-day on the road. For a practice stretched between north-county retirement care and South Lake's growth spurt, that's one less logistics headache standing between your people and a valid card.

"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."
