What is a skills session?
A skills session is the hands-on portion of an AHA eLearning course and includes Parts 2 and 3 — skills practice and testing. It is conducted in-person after a student completes Part 1 online. Depending on the course, skills sessions are conducted by AHA BLS, ACLS or PALS Instructors, or Heartsaver® Skills Evaluators . For HeartCode® system courses, the student may be able to practice and test on a Voice-Assisted Manikin (VAM) system, if that option is offered.
