This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring you’re well-prepared and understand how RQI Partners and RQI1Stop facilitate your AHA certification journey.
Understanding the Role of RQI Partners and RQI1Stop in Your AHA Certification
When you register for an AHA HeartCode® certification course at the STRATUS Center, you’re engaging in a blended learning approach. This combines online cognitive modules with a hands-on skills check. RQI Partners and RQI1Stop are the providers of these essential online cognitive modules. Think of them as your virtual educators, delivering the theoretical knowledge you need to succeed in your chosen certification – be it Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
After completing your registration with STRATUS, keep a close eye on your email inbox. Within 3 business days, you should receive an email directly from RQI Partners and RQI1Stop ([email protected]). This email is crucial as it contains your login credentials to access the AHA HeartCode® online cognitive course. Without this email from RQI Partners and RQI1Stop, you won’t be able to start the mandatory online portion of your certification. Make sure to check your spam or junk folder just in case the email lands there. This initial step with RQI Partners and RQI1Stop is the gateway to unlocking your skills check at the STRATUS Center.

Once you’ve completed the online portion, the skills session will be unlocked. Arrive at the STRATUS Center at your scheduled time, ready to demonstrate your skills. You will use the password you created during the RQI Partners and RQI1Stop online module login to access the simulation station.

Scheduling Your Skills Check Wisely and Understanding Rescheduling Policies
When scheduling your STRATUS skills check, be realistic about the time needed to complete the online cognitive modules provided by RQI Partners and RQI1Stop. It’s recommended to complete these modules well in advance of your scheduled skills session to avoid any last-minute rushes or potential rescheduling.
Rescheduling or canceling your skills check can lead to fees. To avoid these, provide at least 48 hours’ written notice if you need to make changes. Notifications with less than 48 hours’ notice, or repeated rescheduling, incur a $20 fee per course. Missing your scheduled skills check without prior communication also results in a $20 rescheduling fee per course. Always email [email protected] to reschedule or cancel, providing all necessary details including your name, contact information, appointment date/time, and preferred rescheduling time.

- HeartCode® Complete Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS): $275
