As a healthcare provider, basic life support (BLS) certification is an essential part of your training. During this certification course, you learn the fundamental life support skills and knowledge you’ll need to respond appropriately in life-threatening situations. With more than 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the United States each year, it has never been more important to be confident in your BLS skills.
Getting Your Certification
Modern technology makes it easy to complete everything from CPR renewal to BLS certification online. You no longer have to take time off work or spend your Saturday in an in-person class for many continuing education courses.
