Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner online, followed by a hands-on session. Successful blended learning can reach students with varying learning styles and in different environments. It combines the flexibility of online training with skills practice and testing for CPR and other psychomotor skills.

Hands-on sessions are conducted in person with an AHA Instructor. These skills sessions focus on meaningful skills practice, debriefing, team scenarios, discussions of local protocols, and skills testing. This will be conducted at IWCC Looft Hall and will need to be done before your card will be issued. Please contact the IWCC Continuing Education office to get signed up for your skills.
