Yes, BLS training is not limited to healthcare professionals. Anyone who wants to learn lifesaving skills-including teachers, coaches, lifeguards, caregivers, and even family members-can benefit from BLS certification. These skills empower individuals to respond confidently in emergencies outside of a hospital or clinic.
It’s recommended to practice and review BLS skills regularly, even before recertification. Skills like CPR and AED use can decline over time without practice, so brief refreshers or online review modules can help maintain proficiency. This ensures that when an emergency arises, you can act quickly and effectively.
No prior experience is required to enroll in a BLS course. The program is designed for both beginners and experienced professionals, providing step-by-step guidance on high-quality CPR, AED use, and airway management. Hands-on practice helps learners gain confidence regardless of their previous training.
While the theory portion of BLS can be completed online via the HeartCode modules, hands-on practice is required to obtain official AHA certification. Online learning prepares you with the knowledge, but real-world skills must be demonstrated during a hands-on session using manikins and AED trainers.
BLS courses use specialized training equipment, including CPR manikins for adults, children, and infants, AED trainers, and ventilation devices. Some programs also use advanced tools like voice-assisted manikins (VAM) to provide real-time feedback, helping learners perfect their compression depth, rate, and ventilation techniques.
The BLS skills test evaluates your ability to perform high-quality CPR, operate an AED correctly, manage the airway, and relieve choking in adults, children, and infants. Instructors observe and provide feedback to ensure you demonstrate competence in all required areas before certification.
Yes, BLS group training is available on-site for hospitals, clinics, schools, and other organizations. On-site training makes it easy to certify multiple employees at once, ensures consistency in training, and reduces the need for staff to travel to separate locations. This approach is convenient and cost-effective for busy teams.
