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

The Winter Haven Difference
Official AHA Training Site
Winter Haven, FL — the Chain of Lakes City — runs on tourism, with LEGOLAND Florida pulling families in from across the country and a steady stream of visitors who need somewhere local to land when a vacation day turns into a sprain, a sunstroke, or a scare. Winter Haven Hospital and Winter Haven Women's Hospital train their own staff, but the urgent cares, walk-in clinics, dental offices, and physical-therapy practices that serve both year-round residents and the LEGOLAND crowd carry the same AHA requirement with none of the in-house instructors to meet it. We bring AHA BLS and ACLS certification straight to you by appointment — the urgent care near the lakes, the dental office serving year-round residents, the walk-in clinic that catches the LEGOLAND overflow — or you train at a Central Florida space we arrange. You finish the same day certified, walking out with hands-on skills that actually hold up when a real emergency comes through the door, not just a card on the wall.
