BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS)

Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).
After successful completion of the course, students will receive a course completion card that is valid for 2 years.

The AHA’s BLS Course is designed for healthcare professionals and other personnel who need to know how to perform CPR and other basic cardiovascular life support skills in a wide variety of in-facility and prehospital settings.
Examples of who should take BLS CPR: healthcare providers, first responders, staff from dentist’s offices, nursing homes, and childcare providers.
