This BLS certification is offered in in-person group format and blended format. All our instructors hold current and valid BLS instructor credentials from the American Heart Association. Take this course for required job training.

Skill testing

See our BLS skills form here.

This form is completed by our instructor, a medic instructor with the student's station or a third party instructor we connect the student with. In all cases, the instructor will be holding current and valid BLS instructor credentials.

The student will receive hand-written documentation of the completed skills check and a copy of the instructor’s eCard. The student will provide this documentation directly to their company’s credentialing department. The student will not receive our certificate of completion until they complete the skills check.

This skills check documentation process is significantly more stringent than American Heart Association, Red Cross and all our other competitors.
