BLS Provider

The classroom Basic Life Support course for healthcare providers: instructor-led from start to finish, with hands-on practice throughout.

Course overview

BLS Provider is the American Heart Association’s classroom-based Basic Life Support course for healthcare professionals. Led by an AHA Instructor from start to finish, students practice high-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, bag-mask ventilation, safe AED use, choking relief, and high-performance team resuscitation. Ideal for those who prefer live instruction over blended learning.

Who this course is for

  • Nurses, physicians, EMS, dental, and clinical support staff
  • Healthcare students who need BLS for school or clinical placement
  • New providers who want full live instruction rather than online learning
  • Teams that certify together in a single classroom session

What students learn

  • High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants
  • Bag-mask ventilation and safe, effective AED use
  • Relief of choking (foreign-body airway obstruction)
  • Team dynamics and high-performance resuscitation

How certification & check-in works

Students check in on their phones at the start of class, complete hands-on practice and skills testing with the AHA Instructor, and receive a 2-year AHA BLS Provider eCard once the roster entry is marked "Completed."
