📣 Student Spotlight: Kristianna’s BLS Journey – From Training to Confidence!
At Heart to Heart CTC,
we love seeing students walk out of our doors feeling empowered, confident, and ready to respond when it matters most.
One recent example? Kristianna,
who renewed her Basic Life Support (BLS)
certification with us — and left with more than just a card. She walked away with real skills, deeper understanding, and the confidence to take action in any emergency.
"I feel confident and well-trained. The instructors were clear, supportive, and made learning CPR techniques easy to remember and apply."
– Kristianna, BLS Renewal Student
Why BLS Training Matters
BLS training goes beyond memorizing steps. It’s about building muscle memory, learning teamwork, and practicing high-quality CPR in real-life scenarios. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, student, or just someone who wants to be ready, BLS training gives you life-saving confidence.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ High-quality CPR techniques
✅ Proper use of AEDs
✅ Effective teamwork in emergencies
✅ Skills to handle choking and cardiac arrest situations

Great careers are often built step by step, and that's the idea behind our Hybrid Nurse Aide/Medication Aide Bundle. You begin with Nurse Aide training , building the core patient care skills every healthcare role depends on, then move directly into Medication Aide training , carrying that momentum into a second certification within the same connected, 10-week hybrid program. Both roles are in high demand across hospitals, senior living communities, and home care settings, so building this kind of dual skill set puts you in a strong position from the moment you're certified. Employers are looking for well-rounded, trained team members, and this bundle helps you become exactly that. Registering for the bundle also comes with a built-in advantage: you save $100 compared to enrolling in each program separately. Taken on their own, Nurse Aide training runs $1,582 and Medication Aide training runs $600, for a total of $2,182. As a bundle, tuition comes to $2,082, with that $100 in savings applied as soon as you register. Getting started begins with a $600 deposit, which also covers your lab fee. By the time you finish, you'll have two certifications, a broader set of skills, and a stronger foundation for your healthcare career. Ready to begin?
