First-time setup
Before running your first class, fill out your instructor profile. This information is used to auto-populate every PDF you generate.
Creating a course
Each class you teach lives as a separate course. Create one before class day so you can add students on the day.
Editing a course
Click ✏️ Edit on the course detail page to update any course fields at any time.
Assisting instructors
If another instructor is helping with the class, click + Add in the Assisting Instructors section and enter their name and ID number. Click 💾 Save to store them. Assisting instructors appear on the Course Roster PDF.
Adding students
Students are added to a specific course. You can add them one by one or import a list from a CSV file.
Adding one at a time

Grading skills
This is where you'll spend most of your time during class. Each student has a digital skill sheet for every sheet required by their course type.
Course status badges
Each student shows a badge for every skill sheet: PASS means all steps completed and marked pass, NR means needs remediation, and no badge means not yet graded. The completion summary at the top of the student list shows totals.
ACLS & PALS courses
ACLS courses have three skill sheets: HQ BLS, Airway Management, and Megacode. PALS courses have five: Child CPR, Infant CPR, Airway, Rhythm & Electrical Therapy, Vascular Access, and Case Scenarios. Each sheet generates its own PDF.
Downloading PDFs
All PDFs are generated from your live grading data and filled automatically — no manual typing needed.
Course Roster PDF
The roster includes: course type checkbox, training center info, all student names/contact info, completion status (Complete or Incomplete), remediation dates, card expiration date, and your instructor signature line.
Individual skill sheet PDFs
All PDFs at once
Export student data (CSV)
Click ⬇ CSV in the Students section header to download a spreadsheet of all student data including names, contact info, grading results, and remediation dates.
Remediation
When a student receives NR (Needs Remediation), you need to schedule a remediation session and record the date. This flows through to the official AHA roster.
Archiving courses
Once a course is complete, archive it to keep your active courses list clean. Archived courses are never deleted — all data is preserved.
Tips & tricks
The search bar on the Courses page searches across course name, type, location, and notes. Quickly find any past course.
Use the Sort dropdown next to the search bar to sort by Date ↓, Date ↑, Name A–Z, Name Z–A, or Type.
Each course page has a collapsible Instructor Resources section with AHA reference PDFs for that course type — equipment checklists, skills descriptors, and evaluation forms.
If you teach the same course type regularly, duplicate an old course instead of creating one from scratch. Update the date and you're ready to go.
The app is fully mobile-optimized. Use it on your phone to grade students during class — the skill checklist is designed for one-handed use.
Skills are saved when you click 💾 Save Skills. Always save before switching to a different student or closing the browser.
