Self Guided Learning in Daly City - CPR BLS, ACLS, and PALS Courses

Healthcare professionals in Daly City face a real scheduling problem. Hospitals like AHMC Seton Medical Center (1900 Sullivan Ave) and Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center (1200 El Camino Real) run around the clock. Fitting a traditional classroom BLS, ACLS, or PALS course into a rotating shift schedule is harder than it sounds.

Self-Guided Learning™ courses solve that problem. Safety Training Seminars at 333 Gellert Blvd #215, Daly City, CA 94015 offers American Heart Association® BLS, ACLS, and PALS courses in a format built for busy professionals. You complete online cognitive learning on your own schedule, then verify your skills independently at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center—no fixed class time, no group schedule.

Here’s exactly how it works.

Self-Guided Learning in Daly City

What Are Self-Guided Learning Courses?

Self-Guided Learning™ courses combine two components:

  1. Online cognitive learning completed independently, on any compatible device
  2. A self-guided skills session completed in person at a CPR Verification Station learning center


Both components are required. Completing the online portion alone does not result in an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard. Once you finish both successfully, you receive your American Heart Association BLS, ACLS, or PALS Provider eCard—the same card accepted by hospitals, clinics, and employers nationwide.

The specific course format offered through authorized distributors like Safety Training Seminars is the HeartCode® Complete course.*

HeartCode® is a trademark of the American Heart Association.

The Online Learning Component

The online portion uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. This technology continuously evaluates your knowledge and confidence in real time, then adjusts the content path to match your level.

In practical terms:

  • Experienced nurses and paramedics skip content they already know
  • Newer learners receive targeted feedback and remediation in areas that need work
  • Everyone progresses at their own pace, based on mastery—not time spent


The course includes interactive patient care scenarios, scenario and algorithm-based content, and immediate, targeted feedback. It works on desktop, laptop, and tablet, with mobile responsive design for added flexibility.

You can pause, resume, and review content anytime. This matters when you’re completing training between overnight shifts or during a lunch break at Seton Medical Center.

The Self-Guided Skills Session at the CPR Verification Station Learning Center

After completing online cognitive learning, you move to the hands-on component. Skills are completed independently at a CPR Verification Station™ learning center—there is no live instructor present during this session.

The CPR Verification Station learning center provides:

  • Real-time, audiovisual performance feedback on every rep
  • Objective measurement of CPR skills against AHA guidelines
  • Objective skills assessment using simulation technology that measures compression depth, rate, recoil, ventilation volume, and timing


This level of precision exceeds what traditional instructor observation can reliably deliver. The system measures your performance against defined AHA criteria. If you don’t pass, you repeat the required skills activity until you achieve a passing score.

There is no 100% pass rate guarantee—the CPR Verification Station learning center measures actual performance. That’s what makes the eCard meaningful.

Why Daly City Healthcare Professionals Choose This Format

Daly City sits between San Francisco and the broader San Mateo County healthcare corridor. Professionals working at AHMC Seton Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center (1200 El Camino Real, South San Francisco), and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital & Trauma Center (1001 Potrero Ave, San Francisco) all have access to the Safety Training Seminars Daly City location.

The facility at 333 Gellert Blvd #215 is accessible via I-280, Gellert Blvd, Westborough Blvd, and Junipero Serra Blvd. Free parking is available on site. Public transit stops are nearby. The location operates Monday through Sunday, 8 AM to 10 PM—before shifts, after shifts, and on weekends.

Self-Guided Learning courses work specifically well for:

  • Healthcare professionals and allied healthcare providers seeking flexible training options
  • Healthcare students who prefer self-paced, independent learning
  • Prehospital service providers working around scheduling constraints
  • Initial and renewal learners who need an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard

Courses Available at the Daly City Location

Safety Training Seminars Daly City offers the following American Heart Association courses for healthcare professionals:

BLS (Basic Life Support)

  • Format: Online + self-guided skills session
  • Online learning: 1–2 hours
  • Skills session: 30 minutes
  • Price: $120

ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support)

  • Format: Online + self-guided skills session
  • Online learning: 2–3 hours
  • Skills session: 30 minutes
    Price: $290

PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support)

  • Format: Online + self-guided skills session
  • Online learning: 2–3 hours
  • Skills session: 30 minutes
  • Price: $290


All three courses result in an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard valid for two years. Safety Training Seminars also offers a Low Price Guarantee—if you find a lower price for an identical AHA course, they will match or beat it.

The Learner Journey: Step by Step

Getting from enrollment to your American Heart Association eCard takes five steps:

  1. Find the CPR Verification Station learning center near you at CPRFinder.com and navigate to the Safety Training Seminars Daly City site
  2. Enroll in a Self-Guided Learning™ course for BLS, ACLS, or PALS
  3. Complete online cognitive learning at your own pace, on any compatible device—anytime, anywhere
  4. Schedule and complete the hands-on skills session at the CPR Verification Station learning center at 333 Gellert Blvd #215, Daly City, independently and with real-time objective feedback
  5. Receive your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard upon successful completion

What You Won't Find Here

The Self-Guided Learning course model is frequently confused with other AHA training formats. To be clear about what this is not:

  • Not instructor-led classroom learning — no fixed class time, no instructor leading a group session
  • Not blended learning — the skills session is self-guided, not instructor-facilitated
  • Not the Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) program — RQI is a separate, low-dose, high-frequency quality improvement program for ongoing skills competence; HeartCode® Complete is a course-based format for initial training and renewal


If your employer requires an AHA BLS, ACLS, or PALS Provider eCard for employment, clinical rotations, or licensure, the HeartCode® Complete course through Self-Guided Learning meets those requirements.

I attended multiple AHA classes from different businesses and my experience with Safety Training Seminars was best. Modules are all comprehensive with ability to get them done on your own time. Daly City facility had free parking, room and equipments clean,well maintained. I asked to be rescheduled last minute and I was accomodated within 3 hours of request online. Looking forward to renew with them next time.

Easily accessible location, provided all details necessary beforehand. My infant mannequin did not demonstrate chest rise which was kind of frustrating, and my system froze on me and I had to redo a portion.

Good, however the infant mannequin had a hole in it, so ventilation was a little difficult

Daly City clinic is a clean & quiet space. I love all the posted detailed instructions to get here. Remember to log in ahead of time & complete all the video coursework before going in. The skills testing should take about 30-60 minutes. Otherwise, you’ll be spending 2-3 hours to complete everything.

I was initially hesitant to do the online/VAM course, but am so glad I did it! This location is perfect! It's located on the second floor of the building. The emailed directions for how to enter the building and site was very straightforward. This particular location has two rooms with 3 stations total. The space is very clean - it provides hand sanitizer, gloves, and cleaning supplies. There are also bathroom keys on the right side of the wall as soon as you enter. Overall, it was a great experience and I plan to renew here again in two years!
