What the BLS Provider class covers

High-quality CPR and AED

Compression depth and rate, full recoil, minimising interruptions, and using an AED on adults, children and infants.

Team skills for providers

Two-rescuer sequences, bag-mask ventilation, switching compressors, and the closed-loop communication your unit will expect.

Same-day AHA eCard

Your official American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard is issued the day you test, not weeks later.

Starting at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center?

PVHMC is a 427-bed acute care hospital and a Los Angeles County trauma center, so new clinical hires should expect a BLS requirement before orientation. Check your offer packet for the exact wording. If it names AHA BLS Provider, this is that class, and the eCard arrives the same day so it can go straight into your onboarding file.

Which card do WesternU students need for clinical work?

Western University of Health Sciences sits at 309 E. Second St, with colleges running from osteopathic medicine to dental medicine. Each college sets its own requirements, so look at your program's clinical checklist. Where it asks for the American Heart Association healthcare provider card, this course matches.

Does rehab work at Casa Colina call for BLS too?

Casa Colina runs rehabilitation and inpatient medical care on its Bonita Ave campus, and clinical roles in settings like that generally carry a BLS requirement. Therapists and aides are sometimes surprised by it. Confirm with your hiring manager, then book.

Pomona to Barranca: how long does it take?

The I-10 west covers the 9.1 miles in roughly 12 minutes when traffic behaves. Give yourself a buffer at commute hours. Parking at our building is free, and the classroom is upstairs in Suite #255-B.

Can I finish BLS before a rotation starts?

If there is a seat before then, yes. The class is two hours, the skills test happens in the room, and the AHA eCard is issued that day, so a class a day or two before your start date still leaves time to upload the card.

Can I take Heartsaver instead of BLS?

Not if the requirement says BLS. Heartsaver is the workplace course for teachers, coaches and general staff, and it leaves out the bag-mask ventilation and two-rescuer team work that clinical roles are checked on.

Pomona specifics

Who needs BLS certification in Pomona

Almost everyone who books this class was told to by an employer or a program. These are the ones we see most often from Pomona.

  • Trauma, emergency and cardiac staff at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center on N. Garey Ave
  • Osteopathic medicine and dental students at Western University of Health Sciences in downtown Pomona
  • Rehabilitation and inpatient staff at Casa Colina Hospital on E. Bonita Ave
  • Medical assistant and pharmacy technician students at Pomona Adult and Career Education on Holt Ave
  • Home health and skilled nursing staff across Pomona and Phillips Ranch

We do not run a classroom inside Pomona. We run one straight down the I-10 in West Covina, and for most of Pomona it is a shorter drive than crossing town in traffic. Parking is free in the building and you leave with the card the same day.

Troubleshooting

Pomona questions, answered

Do you teach BLS inside Pomona?
Only onsite, for groups of six or more at your hospital unit, clinic or school. Individual seats are in our West Covina classroom.
How many minutes is the drive from Pomona?
About 12, covering 9.1 miles west on the I-10.
Will I get a printed card?
BLS cards are issued as AHA eCards. You get an email to claim yours the same day, and you can download or print it from there.
Is BLS the same as ACLS?
No. BLS is the foundation; ACLS builds on it for teams managing cardiac arrest with medications and rhythm interpretation. Many hospital roles ask for both, and ACLS expects your BLS skills to be current.
Is parking free?
Yes. Pull into the lot at 100 N. Barranca St at no charge and head to the second floor.
Can WesternU or ACE students book as a group?
Yes. Six or more can have an instructor come to a Pomona location, and smaller groups can reserve seats together in a West Covina session. The onsite quote form is on this page.

Cities we serve

Students drive to our West Covina classroom from across the San Gabriel Valley. For teams of six or more we come to you instead.
