Courses

The AHA’s new BLS Course was updated to include science and education from the 2015 Guidelines. 

It teaches both single-rescuer and team base basic life support skills for application in both pre-hospital and in-facility environments, with a focus on high-quality CPR and team dynamics. 

Students participate in simulated clinical scenarios and learning stations in the instructor-led course. In addition, students work with an AHA BLS Instructor to complete BLS skills practice and testing. Students also complete a written exam; class time varies depending on the number of students. 

The recommended renewal is every two years. 

New Heartsaver Total courses from the American Heart Association are designed for anyone with little

or no medical training who needs first aid and/or CPR training and a course completion card for

job, regulatory (e.g., OSHA), or other regulatory or licensing requirements. Heartsaver courses can also

be taken by anyone who wants to be prepared to act in an emergency at work or home.
