Basic life support (BLS) for healthcare providers

For all healthcare providers basic life support (BLS) training is vital. In the U.S., there is a mandated American Heart Association (AHA) protocol for the immediate treatment of critical events that must be closely followed by all healthcare providers. Acquiring the American Heart Association BLS CPR certification is the responsibility of all healthcare providers that are providing medical care to the general public, and with frequent changes being made to the AHA guidelines, BLS renewal is also mandatory and required every two years.

Just a reminder. Per the American Heart Association you MUST take the course pre-test for all ACLS and PALS provider classes.

If the pre-course test results are not provided at the time of your class, you will have 24 hours from the class start time to provide this information to receive your card. If you can't provide your results within the 24 hours, we will not be able to issue you your card. If you have not taken the pre-course yet, please go to our ACLS pre-course self-assessment and PALS pre-course self-assessment page. We apologize for this but these rules are coming from the American Heart Association and our Training Center. Please call with any questions. Thank you.
