This Orientation Course replaces Instructor affiliation fees that were a previous obligation to receive instructor cards. This course is password protected, and so the key code you receive will be considered your password into the course. Each password is DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC, so make sure you are using the correct password for each discipline (i.e. a BLS, ACLS, or PALS).
