About this course
Basic Life Support (BLS) is the American Heart Association's CPR course for healthcare providers and professional rescuers. This hands-on course teaches you to recognize life-threatening emergencies, deliver high-quality CPR, use an AED, and relieve choking — both on your own and as part of a coordinated resuscitation team.
Who it's for
Nurses, physicians, EMTs, paramedics, dental and medical office staff, nursing and medical students, firefighters, lifeguards, and anyone whose job or program requires an AHA BLS card.
What you'll learn
High-quality CPR: compressions and ventilations for adults, children, and infants
AED use: early defibrillation for adults, children, and infants
Ventilation: pocket masks and bag-mask devices
Team resuscitation: two-rescuer CPR, roles, and effective team communication
Choking relief: for responsive and unresponsive adults, children, and infants
Chain of Survival: rapid recognition and activation of the emergency response system
Format
Instructor-led, with most of the class spent practicing on manikins. You'll show your skills in hands-on scenarios and finish with a written exam.
Certification
Upon successful completion of the skills test and written exam, you'll receive an American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard, valid for 2 years.
