Basic Life Support Course
Course Description (This is self-paced, 100% online)

The Basic Life Support (BLS) Course aims to train participants to save the lives of victims in cardiac arrest through high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The American Heart Association (AHA) designed the BLS Course to teach healthcare professionals how to perform high-quality CPR individually or as a team. BLS skills apply to any healthcare setting. BLS students will learn rescue techniques for adults, children, and infants. The AHA’s BLS course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations, and provide early use of an AED. Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).
