This class is a requirement for all healthcare professionals (EMTs, medics, doctors, nurses, etc.). This class covers basic life support for cardiac arrest and airway emergencies. This class teaches topics such as what to do in a cardiac arrest for any a person (infant, child, and adult), how to use an AED, how to perform rescue breathing, and how to relieve choking, etc. Class usually lasts about 3.5 hours. A written test is mandatory to receive the certificate.

The base class teaches treating adult patients. Additional teaching of the course material for pediatric and infant patients is $5 extra. Written test is available upon request.

Both classes come with a certification through the American Heart Association. However, we recommend the BLS for Healthcare Providers class, since this class is a requirement for all healthcare professionals. The certification obtained in this class is considered the “gold standard."
