ACLS/BLS Skills Online Course Registration

The CNE (Center for Nursing Excellence) is an American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center that provides Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) courses.

Due to high demand, these courses are only open to Brigham and Women's employees.

BLS and ACLS certification courses are provided as a blended learning format in which participants complete a didactic online course and then attend an in-person hands-on skills session. This blended learning is applicable to initial and renewal certifications.

The HeartCode AHA online course(s) must be completed prior to attending the skills sessions and participants are responsible for obtaining and completing the AHA HeartCode courses prior to attending the skills session. There is a separate fee for the Heart Code courses.

Once registration and payment for the Skills Session has been received, an email confirmation will be sent within 3 business days with instructions on how to purchase the online HeartCode course. A hard copy of the course completion certificates is required on the day of the hands-on skills session.

Registration and payment on this page is for the Hands-on Skills session only. To ensure a smooth registration process, please use Google Chrome browser.
