Renew Your BLS with Expert Instructors
BLS teaches high-quality CPR, AED use, ventilation, choking response, and coordinated team response for adults, children, and infants. It is designed for clinical and prehospital settings. Unlike the initial BLS certification course, the recertification course is shorter and focuses on reviewing key techniques and ensuring participants can demonstrate continued competence. BLS recertification is especially important for healthcare professionals, emergency responders, and others who are required to keep their certification current in order to continue working in their roles.
