This course is instructor-led and focuses on giving you immediate feedback while demonstrating the skills you learn. The course provides you with both the cognitive elements of science-based life support as well as the psychomotor component of physically practicing BLS through testing and skill demonstration. You will will practice your skills on adult, child and infant feedback manikins for cases of cardiac arrest and choking, and learn to properly employ an AED.

BLS Renewal 2020

BLS Renewal Course

This course was recently added for those that need to update their BLS certificate prior to it’s expiration. If your BLS certificate has already expired you will be required to take either the BLS – Instructor-Led or the HeartCode® BLS Blended Training to renew your certification.

The BLS Renewal Course covers all the same topics as the Full BLS Course but in a condensed manner. This class is fast paced and assumes that you will review BLS basics prior to attending. A walk-through tutorial may be helpful before you attend. You will still have an AHA Instructor to guide you through the material and help you practice your skills, and you must demonstrate your skills and take a written assessment as you would with the Full BLS Course. This course emphasizes Infant CPR, proper AED use and choking.

This course can be taken in a setting of your choosing rather than the traditional classroom.

To get started with the e-Learning portion of this course, Register with the AHA.

Part Two: Hands-On Skills

Once you have completed the online course the next step is to demonstrate your skills in the classroom with an instructor.
