American Heart Association guidelines

Basic Life Support (BLS) Training

Atlas BLS training follows American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines and course standards.

Participants receive hands-on instruction in:

  • High-quality CPR for adults, children and infants
  • Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use
  • Choking response
  • Effective team-based resuscitation

Our supportive, practical approach helps participants build the confidence and skills needed to respond effectively during a cardiac or respiratory emergency.

Participants must successfully demonstrate the knowledge and hands-on competencies required by the AHA for course completion.

Colorado medication training

Qualified Medication Administration Personnel (QMAP) Training

QMAP training prepares staff to administer medications safely, accurately and responsibly in approved care settings.

Atlas offers a hybrid course that combines self-paced online learning through Relias with an in-person, hands-on skills session. Before attending class, participants complete the required online modules and exam.

During the in-person session, our experienced registered nurses review:

  • Medication Administration Record (MAR) documentation
  • Basic medication calculations
  • Medication safety
  • Administration of different medication forms
  • Practical competency evaluation

Our training is practical and supportive, designed to help participants feel comfortable asking questions. Our goal is to ensure participants leave feeling confident and prepared to provide safe, compassionate care.
