AHA BLS CERTIFICATION

The American Heart Association (AHA) BLS Provider Course is for healthcare workers, students, and individuals who may need to respond to life-threatening emergencies.

COURSE DESCRIPTION & GOALS

The Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider Course is designed for healthcare providers and anyone who may be required to perform CPR in a variety of clinical or prehospital settings. Through hands-on practice, simulated cases, and didactic instruction, students will develop their skills in recognizing and intervening during life-threatening emergencies such as cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, and choking. The goal of this course is to equip participants with the necessary skills to provide high-quality CPR, deliver effective ventilations, and improve outcomes for victims of cardiac arrest and other life-threatening emergencies through rapid intervention by confident, well-trained individuals.

COURSE PREPARATION

Our goal is to improve your life-saving abilities, regardless of your experience level. Whether you’re just starting in the healthcare field or have years of experience, we provide a welcoming and supportive learning environment. You can feel confident coming to class as you are, but to maximize your BLS learning experience, you may wish to review the following topics from your BLS manual:

  • CPR for adults, children, and infants
  • High-quality chest compressions
  • Use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
  • Effective ventilations using barrier devices
  • Management of airway obstructions in responsive & unresponsive victims
  • High-performance team dynamics
