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

Healthcare professionals in Redwood City face a real problem: staying current on American Heart Association® training while managing demanding schedules. Nurses, physicians, and paramedics at nearby facilities like Kaiser Permanente Redwood City Medical Center (1100 Veterans Blvd), Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center (450 Broadway St), and Adventist Health Sequoia Hospital (170 Alameda de las Pulgas) need flexible training options that don’t require taking a full day off work.

Safety Training Seminars solves that problem. Located at 650 Broadway, Suite 4, Redwood City—just steps from the Stanford Medicine campus—the center offers Self-Guided Learning™ courses for BLS, ACLS, and PALS through CPR Verification Station™ learning centers, open Monday through Sunday from 8 AM to 10 PM.

Self-Guided Learning in Redwood City

What Is Self-Guided Learning?

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


Learners complete both components independently. No instructor schedules. No fixed classroom times. Upon successful completion, learners receive an American Heart Association Course Completion eCard for BLS, ACLS, or PALS.

This approach differs from traditional blended learning, where an instructor must facilitate the in-person skills check. With Self-Guided Learning, the learner controls the entire process.

How the Online Learning Works

The online portion uses True Adaptive™ learning powered by Area9 Lyceum. The system evaluates your existing knowledge in real time and adjusts content to focus on your specific gaps.

If you already know adult CPR, the system spends less time there. If you need more practice on pediatric algorithms, it focuses there instead. Learners progress based on mastery, not time spent.

This personalized learning pathway works on desktop, tablet, or mobile—meaning a nurse at Kaiser Permanente Redwood City can complete the cognitive portion between shifts, from any device.

Typical completion times:

  • BLS online learning: 1–2 hours
  • ACLS online learning: 2–3 hours
  • PALS online learning: 2–3 hours

How the Skills Session Works

After completing the online learning activity, learners visit the CPR Verification Station learning center at 650 Broadway, Suite 4.

The station uses a Voice-Assisted Manikin (VAM) that provides real-time, objective performance feedback. The system measures compression depth, rate, recoil, ventilation volume, and timing—more precisely than a traditional instructor can observe.

Here is what the skills session delivers:

  • Real-time, audiovisual performance feedback from the CPR Verification Station learning center
  • Objective measurement of CPR skills against AHA guidelines
  • Repeated practice until the learner achieves a passing score


The skills session takes approximately 30 minutes for BLS, ACLS, and PALS. There is no instructor present. Learners work at their own pace and repeat skills as needed without pressure.

Samantha, a recent learner, put it clearly: “Very convenient experience! The VAM was super helpful and everything was easy to navigate. Great for people who have social anxiety as there is no one else on site so you can take your time and feel comfortable.”

Daryl Hendrickson added: “Best way to renew. Quick, informative, up to date. Appreciate the way the computer walks you through the hands-on portion and allows you to perfect your technique through immediate feedback.”

Who Benefits Most

Self-Guided Learning courses work best for:

  • Nurses and physicians at Stanford Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, or Adventist Health Sequoia Hospital who need BLS, ACLS, or PALS Provider eCards for employment
  • Medical students completing clinical rotations in San Mateo County
  • EMTs and paramedics with irregular shift schedules
  • Allied healthcare workers seeking flexible, self-paced options


The Redwood City location’s extended hours—8 AM to 10 AM, seven days a week—make it accessible for professionals working evening and weekend shifts across the Bay Area.

Three Steps to Completion

The learner journey follows a straightforward path:

  1. Enroll in a Self-Guided Learning™ course for BLS, ACLS, or PALS at safetytrainingseminars.com
  2. Complete the online learning activity at your own pace, on any compatible device
  3. Visit the CPR Verification Station learning center at 650 Broadway, Suite 4, Redwood City to complete the self-guided skills session


Upon passing both components, you receive your American Heart Association Course Completion eCard—valid for two years and accepted by hospitals, clinics, and employers across the Bay Area and nationwide.
