E-Learning FAQ
Common Questions About Online & Blended Training
Course formats and certification requirements can vary. These answers cover the most common questions students have before choosing an e-learning or blended training option.
Are all GEAR UP e-learning courses completely online?
No. Some courses may include a fully online or self-directed learning component, while others require an in-person skills session, evaluation, or hands-on practice. Check the requirements for your specific course before registering.
What is blended learning?
Blended learning combines online coursework with an in-person component when required. This allows students to complete much of the educational material on their own schedule while still completing practical skills training when the program calls for it.
How do I know which course I need?
Start with the requirements from your employer, school, licensing program, or organization. Different roles may require different courses. If you are unsure, contact GEAR UP with CPR before registering.
Who should take BLS instead of Heartsaver?
BLS is generally designed for healthcare professionals and emergency responders, while Heartsaver courses are commonly used by workplace responders, teachers, coaches, caregivers, and community members. Always confirm the specific course your employer or program requires.
Does online training include hands-on practice?
It depends on the program. Some blended courses include or require a separate hands-on skills component. The Peripheral IV Skills program, for example, includes practical IV insertion training.

GEAR UP offers a self-directed EKG course designed to build foundational rhythm-recognition skills and help students prepare for ACLS-related cardiac rhythm concepts.
