AHA Basic Cardiac Life Support

The American Heart Association’s Basic Life Support (BLS) course is designed to teach both healthcare providers and everyday people how to respond to cardiac and breathing emergencies. This training is essential for anyone who may need to act fast in situations like cardiac arrest or choking, where quick action can save a life. The course covers how to recognize cardiac arrest, perform high-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) correctly. Participants also learn how to help someone who is choking and understand the “chain of survival,” which explains the steps needed to give a person the best chance of recovery.

​

BLS training combines online lessons, in-person instruction, and hands-on practice so that students gain both knowledge and real experience. To complete the course, participants must pass a written test and show that they can perform CPR and use an AED correctly. This training builds the skills and confidence needed to act immediately, making it a key part of both healthcare education and community safety.

 

In addition to BLS, we also offer Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) classes for those looking to expand their skills even further. Contact us today to learn more and register for an upcoming session.
