The difference between us and them is very simple. We have done it for real. If you want to learn from people who have run codes, applied tourniquets, and given epi a thousand times.. that's us.
We are conveniently located right off the beltway in Old Town Alexandria. There is simple online booking via our website.
Our website shows our schedule of classes and will allow you to register.
We can also train large groups. We specialize in training doctors offices, law firms, surgical centers, etc. Call us to book a class for your group today.

I've been coming to The Heart Center for all my ACLS, PALS, and BLS certifications and renewals, and I can honestly say there's no better place to go.
John Hawkins is an outstanding instructor -- incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and patient. He breaks things down in a way that's easy to understand and keeps classes efficient, engaging, and practical. You can tell he genuinely wants you to understand, not just memorize.
If you're looking to get certified or renew, I highly recommend The Heart Center and John. You'll learn a lot, feel confident, and actually enjoy the process -- which says a lot for a skills class!

The instructor was knowledgeable and I liked that the manikins had technology to learn depth and rate. We will update the way our clinic approaches choking preparedness because of this course. Well worth it and the price was reasonable!

The ACLS class was an excellent learning experience -- very well structured, hands-on, and practical. The instructor explained complex concepts clearly, kept the class engaging, and made sure everyone felt confident in applying the skills. I truly appreciate the professionalism, patience, and real-life insights that made the training both valuable and enjoyable.

Professionally presented with easy ways to understand important concepts. All areas covered with hands on experience. Enjoyed the class and feel prepare for a pediatric emergency if presented with one. I've been going to The Heart Center for years and always recommend it to all my coworkers. It's an excellent learning experience with a little fun in the side!!!!
