The American Heart Association’s BLS course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate breaths and ventilations, and provide early use of an AED.

Designed to build both competence and confidence, this course prepares students to respond effectively to medical emergencies at work, at home, or in the community. Flexible training formats—classroom, onsite, self-guided, and online (blended)*—make it easier to fit learning into busy schedules.
