Before class
You need your own AHA manual
The American Heart Association requires every student to own the BLS Provider Manual before class starts. Buy it direct from the AHA — it is not included in the course fee and we cannot sell it to you at the door.
BLS Provider Manual eBook (item 25-3102) · 2025 BLS Provider Manual (item 25-1102). The printed manual has to ship, so order it early.
