Basic Life Support Course
Course Description
The Basic Life Support (BLS)* teaches skills using the American Heart Association’s proven Practice-While-Watching technique, which allows Instructors to observe students, provide feedback and guide students’ acquisition of skills. With their student manual for the course, students receive the new Pocket Reference Card, designed to provide quick emergency information to the rescuer at any time. Successful completion requires the student pass both a written and skills evaluation. Students receive the BLS for Healthcare Providers course completion card good for 2 years.
