Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between CPR and BLS?
- CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is basic training for individuals who may encounter cardiac emergencies in daily life. It covers adult, child, and infant CPR and how to use an AED.
- BLS (Basic Life Support) is designed for healthcare providers and covers more advanced skills, including two-person CPR, bag-valve-mask techniques, and AED usage in a healthcare setting.
2. What certifications do I need as a healthcare provider?
If you are an EMT, RN, CNA, LVN, or other healthcare professional, you’ll need to obtain BLS certification. Our BLS CPR Certification for Healthcare Providers meets all AHA requirements and includes training in adult, child, infant CPR, and AED usage.
3. How long is my CPR or BLS certification valid?
Both CPR and BLS certifications are valid for two years. After this time, you will need to take a BLS renewal or CPR renewal course to stay certified.
4. Can I take part of the CPR class online?

- Blended Learning: Complete the online portion at your own pace and then attend a short in-person skills session to receive your certification.
