Why Our Training Costs What It Does

Ethical, Fair, transparent, All Inclusive Pricing Structure!

ELLA MED WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY!


At Ella Med Training, we understand that paying for certification courses can feel overwhelming — especially in today’s difficult economy. We also recognize the stress healthcare professionals face when their certifications are close to expiring. Missing a renewal isn’t just inconvenient; it can prevent you from working and add pressure to an already demanding and emotionally exhausting career.
Your time matters, your work matters, and we keep both at the center of everything we do.

Our mission is to make certification as efficient, comprehensive, and reliable as possible. With over 10 years of experience, we’ve refined our programs so students leave fully prepared without wasting hours in unnecessarily long classes. We offer the shortest courses permitted under AHA guidelines, saving you time while maintaining the highest standards of training.

Typical course lengths with most providers:

  • BLS: 4–6 hours
  • ACLS Initial Certification: 8–12 hours (Recert: ~8 hours, usually over 1–2 days)
  • PALS Initial Certification: 8–12 hours (Recert: ~8 hours, usually over 1–2 days)

If you need all three certifications, this can take several days with traditional programs.

With Ella Med Training, you can significantly reduce both training time and travel by taking combined courses designed to fit your schedule and your life.
Our streamlined options allow you to complete:

  • BLS + ACLS: under 5 hours
  • BLS + PALS: under 5 hours
  • ACLS + PALS: under 5 hours
  • BLS + ACLS + PALS: just 7.5 hours total, compared to 22+ hours over multiple days elsewhere

We also offer flexible scheduling to support busy healthcare professionals — morning, afternoon, evening, and Sunday classes (evening and Sunday options available at our Melissa, TX location). Many students drive 2–5 hours to train with us, and they consistently tell us it’s worth the trip because of the time saved and the quality of instruction.

We are committed to transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Your course fee includes everything: manuals, materials, certification cards — no surprises, no add-ons.

Our current pricing:

  • BLS: $169.95
  • ACLS or PALS: $225 each
  • BLS + ACLS: $274 (save $120)
  • BLS + PALS: $274 (save $120)
  • BLS + ACLS + PALS: $374.95 (save $274)

Beyond exceptional training, your enrollment supports meaningful charitable work. We donate 10% of all revenue to organizations such as Irving Christ Ministry, which provides food, clothing, essentials, and rent/utility assistance to families in need. We also support programs for women escaping abusive situations and operate a nonprofit that teaches new parents CPR and first aid free of charge.
When you train with Ella Med, you’re investing in your career and making a real difference in the community.

We know some students compare prices with other providers and hope for discounts. We truly understand the desire to save money — especially in healthcare, where many professionals generously give their time and energy. Our pricing reflects the true cost of offering world-class training that is consistent, efficient, and ethical. While some companies may advertise lower prices, they often come with hidden fees, lengthy class times, or lower-quality instruction.

The Ella Med Training model is unique — designed to save you time, reduce stress, eliminate unnecessary expenses, and ensure you leave feeling confident, competent, and supported.

When you choose Ella Med Training, you’re choosing one of the best in the industry. You are protecting your time, avoiding hidden costs, preparing yourself for success, and supporting charitable work that directly helps families in need.
We deeply appreciate the trust you place in us, and we take that responsibility seriously.
