Healthcare professionals in Chico, CA have a faster, more flexible way to complete their American Heart Association® BLS, ACLS, and PALS training. Self-Guided Learning™ courses combine self-paced online learning with an independent skills session at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center—no fixed class times, no group schedules, no waiting.
Safety Training Seminars, located at 527 Flume St, Suite 15 in Chico, offers exactly this. Whether you work at Enloe Medical Center on Fifth and Magnolia, rotate through Adventist Health Medical Pavilion, or commute from the California State University, Chico campus on 400 W. First Street, you can complete your AHA training around your actual schedule.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Self-Guided Learning™ is an American Heart Association® course format that lets learners complete two components independently:
Upon successful completion of both components, learners receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard. The specific course for BLS, ACLS, and PALS through this format is called HeartCode® Complete.
This approach is not the same as traditional classroom learning or instructor-led blended courses. There is no live instructor during the skills session. The CPR Verification Station learning center provides real-time, objective performance feedback using simulation technology—the system measures your skills against AHA-defined criteria automatically.
HeartCode® is a trademark of the American Heart Association.
The online portion of a Self-Guided Learning course uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology continuously assesses your knowledge and confidence, then adjusts the content path based on your responses.
What that means practically: if you already understand a topic, the system moves you through it quickly. If you have knowledge gaps, it spends more time there. You progress at your own pace, on any compatible device—desktop, laptop, or tablet.
You can complete this component from anywhere. Sitting in a coffee shop near Upper Bidwell Park, finishing a night shift, or traveling between facilities—it doesn’t matter.
Important: Completing the online learning activity alone does not result in an AHA Course Completion eCard. Both components must be finished.
After completing the online learning activity, you schedule a hands-on skills session at the CPR Verification Station™ learning center at Safety Training Seminars’ Chico location.
The process runs in three steps:
The skills session takes approximately 30 minutes. The CPR Verification Station learning center objectively measures performance against AHA guidelines—compression depth, rate, recoil, and ventilation quality are all tracked. You can repeat the required skills activities as many times as needed to achieve a passing score.
No instructor evaluates you. No group session waits for stragglers. You go at your pace, verify your skills independently, and walk out with your eCard the same day.
Safety Training Seminars in Chico offers Self-Guided Learning courses for three core AHA programs:
Self-Guided Learning courses work best for specific types of learners:
If you prefer direct instructor feedback, or you’re a first-time learner with no prior healthcare knowledge, the traditional in-person classroom format at Safety Training Seminars may suit you better. Both options are available at 527 Flume St, Suite 15.
Safety Training Seminars has operated as an official American Heart Association Training Center (ATC #20784) since 1989. The Chico location is a woman-owned small business rooted in Butte County, led by Laura Seidel, Owner and Director.
A few standout facts:
The Chico office sits on Flume St in central Chico, accessible via B-Line (Butte County’s regional transit system), with nearby stops at E 2nd St & Wall St. Street parking and the nearby Chico Parking Garage provide easy access for those driving in from surrounding areas.
The CPR Finder™ tool allows learners to find Self-Guided Learning course locations near them. From there, the process is straightforward:
Chico healthcare professionals—whether based near Enloe Medical Center, the Adventist Health Medical Pavilion, or working out in the wider Butte County area—no longer have to block off a full day for AHA recertification. Self-Guided Learning™ courses through Safety Training Seminars make the process fast, flexible, and local.
Complete your HeartCode® Complete course online. Verify your skills at the CPR Verification Station learning center. Walk out with your AHA Course Completion eCard the same day.
