Basic Life Support
BLS is the foundation for saving lives after cardiac arrest. The AHA’s BLS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. This video-based, Instructor-led course teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in both in-facility and prehospital settings.
This is the International English version of the BLS Course. The training materials have been adapted to include metric units of measure and other references that apply to students outside the U.S. and Canada.
