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.

- Healthcare students who need BLS for school or clinical placement

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."
