Healthcare professionals in Newark, CA now have a faster, more flexible way to complete American Heart Association® BLS, ACLS, and PALS training. Safety Training Seminars, located at 8407 Central Ave, Suite 2034, offers Self-Guided Learning™ courses that combine self-paced online learning with an independent skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center—no fixed class times, no instructor required.
Whether you work at Washington Hospital (2000 Mowry Ave, Fremont) or Kaiser Permanente Fremont Medical Center (39400 Paseo Padre Pkwy, Fremont), this training format fits your schedule. Here’s how it works and why it’s worth considering.
Self-Guided Learning™ courses for BLS, ACLS, and PALS from the American Heart Association combine two components:
Both components are required. Once you successfully complete both, you receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard for BLS, ACLS, or PALS.
This approach is designed for healthcare professionals—nurses, physicians, paramedics, EMTs, dental professionals, and allied health workers—who need flexible training that still meets American Heart Association standards.
The online portion uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology evaluates your existing knowledge in real time and adjusts the content path based on your responses.
In practical terms, that means:
You can pause, resume, and review content anytime. The BLS online course takes 1–2 hours. ACLS and PALS each take 2–3 hours. You can start at home, finish during a break between shifts, or complete it at a café near NewPark Mall—your schedule, your pace.
After completing the online learning activity, you visit the CPR Verification Station™ learning center at the Newark site near Central Ave & Cedar Blvd, just off I-880.
During the 30-minute skills session, you perform required hands-on skills independently using simulation technology. The station provides:
No instructor evaluates or coaches you during the session. The CPR Verification Station learning center objectively measures your performance against AHA-defined criteria.
One learner described the Newark location this way: “There were 2 stations available in a room surrounded by glass. I felt safe being able to see around the room and not feel locked in a windowless room. The equipment worked as needed.”
Self-Guided Learning™ courses work best for:
The Newark training center serves learners from across Alameda County—including those commuting from areas near the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Ardenwood Historic Farm—who want a convenient, close-to-home option without long travel times.
The Newark location operates Monday through Sunday, 8 AM to 10 PM.
Current pricing for Self-Guided Learning™ courses:
Safety Training Seminars also offers a Low Price Guarantee—if you find a valid AHA course at a lower price, they will match it.
Upon successfully completing both the online learning activity and the self-guided skills session, you receive your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard the same day. The eCard is accepted by hospitals, clinics, and employers across the country—including facilities throughout Alameda County.
Self-Guided Learning™ courses give you full control over when, where, and how you complete your BLS, ACLS, or PALS training. The Newark CPR Verification Station™ learning center makes the hands-on component accessible without disrupting your work schedule.
