What is a BLS Certification

Basic Life Support

BLS Certification is available from the American Heart Association. It is almost identical to a CPR class but is geared towards healthcare providers. This course takes the traditional CPR course and goes more in-depth:

  • AED Instruction
  • Realistic scenarios, simulations, and animations depicting rescuers, teams and patients
  • CPR when administered as a team, which is touched on in basic CPR but requires more emphasis for healthcare professionals 
Focusing on team rescue situations and spending time discussing the importance of teams in scenarios where multi-rescuer resuscitation is a possibility. Showing participants how to be highly effective.
