EMS Hybrid Course Options
If you can’t get to campus for in-person training, consider one of the hybrid offerings. The blended course format is convenient and AHA certified, and participants will receive the same certification card as our in-person courses upon successful completion of course requirements.
In this format, you’ll complete an online eLearning section on your own time and then come to NSU for a skill evaluation session. The skill evaluation session can range from 30 to 60 minutes depending upon the course and is offered weekly on NSU's main campus.
Make your next community event a life-saver! We offer free or low-cost life-saving skills for your attendees. Trained instructors will educate participants on critical skills like adult and child choking maneuvers, hands-only CPR, and using face shields and AEDs.
