Course Schedules
LifeLink Comprehensive Course Schedule
       Revised 08/28/2008
    
       OHIOHEALTH ASSOCIATES:
       Starting July 1, all Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) courses will transition to a self-directed online
       and independent lab training program developed by the American Heart Association. If your BLS or ACLS card is due for renewal
       soon, you may have already been assigned one of these courses.  Log on to the OhioHealth University to find out.  You may also
       contact Sarah Jones at 566-2762 or Brenda Stanton at 566-2764 for more information.
             
    
Course Fees and Registration
    
    
All classes require pre-registration, payment and written enrollment confirmation. Read below to learn "How to Register For A Class."
    
 
       HOW TO REGISTER FOR A CLASS:    
       All students must submit a completed registration form and make payment for a class before their enrollment can be processed and
       confirmed. We suggest that you complete the registration form, then fax it to us at (614) 566-8077. Immediately after faxing, call the
       LifeLink office at (614) 566-9019 to confirm our receipt of your registration form and that the class date you requested is available.
       You can then pay for your class with a credit or debit card by phone. See the applicable course registration form for current course
       fees.
 
       Once we receive the student's completed registration form, confirm that the student's requested class date has student openings, and
       payment has been made, LifeLink will issue the student a written enrollment confirmation and any required student materials.
       Typically the confirmation and materials are sent to the student about 3 weeks prior to the class date. Students that show up at a
       class location without pre-registering, making payment and receiving the written enrollment confirmation will need to reschedule for
       another class date.
    
       We recommend that students register for classes as early as possible. Courses marked as "Closed" are full and no additional
       students can be enrolled. Course schedules and class availability do change frequently and may change at anytime without notice.
       The possibility does exist that a class may close before your registration with payment reaches the LifeLink office. If this occurs you
       will be notified so that you may transfer to another class. To check whether a class still has openings, contact the LifeLink office.
 
       FEES, TRANSFERS CANCELLATIONS AND NO-SHOWS:    
       All course registrations, course transfer requests (a request to transfer a student from one course date to another), & cancellations
       must be received 4 or more days prior to the first day of a course. Course transfer requests received 4 or more days prior to the first
       day of a course will be processed at no additional charge. Course transfer requests received 3 or less days prior to the first day of a
       course are subject to an additional $20 registration fee. Cancellations received 4 or more days prior to the first day of a course will
       be processed at no additional charge. Cancellations received 3 or less days prior to the first day of a course will forfeit one-half of
       their course fees and one-half of the course fees may be refunded. Cancellations without notice (“no-shows”) forfeit all course fees &
       will not receive a refund.
