What This BLS Course Covers
Detailed curriculum coming soon
We're finalizing the lesson-by-lesson outline for our BLS course. The training itself is built around the latest American Heart Association ECC guidelines and covers every algorithm, skill, and assessment you need to be exam-ready and clinically confident.
The CPR was super easy to follow. The video lessons were simple, and the visual examples made the steps much easier to remember :)

Home Care Aide
I decided to buy the CPR course after something scary happened while my husband and I were at a restaurant. A man at the table next to us started choking and couldn't breathe. Thankfully, someone helped him in time and everything turned out okay! After that, I realized I wanted to know what to do if something like that ever happens again. Thank you for this CPR & AED course, everything was clear and really well done!

Who Needs BLS Certification?
BLS goes a step beyond CPR. It's the standard for clinical settings where the next responder is also a healthcare professional and a team-based response is expected.
Hospital Inpatient & Acute Care
RNs, LPNs, patient care technicians, hospitalists, surgical residents, and pharmacy staff who respond to code blues.
Emergency & Pre-Hospital
EMTs, paramedics, ER techs, and ED nurses where BLS is the foundation under every ACLS or PALS response.
Outpatient Clinical
Medical assistants, dental hygienists, dentists, optometry staff, physical therapists, and chiropractors.
Allied Health Students
Nursing, PA, medical, dental, respiratory therapy, and EMT students — usually a prerequisite before clinical rotations begin.
Skilled Nursing & Long-Term Care
CNAs, nursing home staff, hospice workers, and home health nurses caring for medically complex patients.
Specialty & Procedural
Cath lab techs, dialysis nurses, infusion center staff, and cosmetic procedure clinics where sedation is administered.
Why Choose Online BLS Certification?
Working healthcare providers rarely have an uninterrupted 4-hour block to sit in a hotel conference room. Online BLS lets you finish certification on a night shift, between patients, or in the parking lot before a meeting. The cognitive content — algorithms, drug doses, recognition of arrest rhythms — is the same content tested in any in-person course.
You also don't have to choose between depth and speed. Spend extra time on the high-performance team dynamics module if that's where you feel rusty, then move quickly through the parts you already know cold. Unlimited exam attempts mean you can test yourself early and often without paying for a re-take.
Our BLS certification is accepted nationwide by most clinics, outpatient employers, and a large number of hospital systems. Check your employer's policy first if you're unsure — and if they don't accept it, we refund you in full.

Frequently Asked Questions About BLS Certification
Got questions? We've got answers.
What is the difference between BLS and CPR?
CPR is a component of BLS. BLS is a more comprehensive certification designed for healthcare providers — it includes CPR techniques plus AED use, airway management, bag-valve-mask ventilation, and team-based resuscitation. If your employer asks specifically for "BLS," a CPR certification will not satisfy the requirement.
Is online BLS certification accepted by employers?
Our certifications are based on the latest American Heart Association guidelines and are accepted nationwide by hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities. We offer a full money-back guarantee if your employer doesn't accept your certification.
How often do I need to renew BLS?
BLS certification is valid for 2 years from the date of issue. After that, you take a BLS recertification (renewal) course to maintain your active status. We recommend renewing 1–2 months before your expiration date to avoid any gap.
How long is the course and how many exam attempts do I get?
Most learners complete the full BLS course in 2–4 hours, fully self-paced. The exam is included with unlimited attempts, so you can review missed questions and retake it as many times as you need at no extra cost.
When do I get my BLS provider card?
Your digital BLS provider card is available for download instantly after you pass the final exam — no waiting period. You can save the PDF, print a wallet card, and email or upload it directly to your employer.
Do I need BLS certification or BLS recertification?
Choose certification if this is your first time, or if your previous BLS card has been expired for a long time and you want to start fresh. Choose recertification (renewal) if you currently hold — or recently held — a valid BLS card and just need to renew it.
What is your money-back guarantee?
If your employer rejects our BLS certification for any reason, contact us with proof and we'll issue a full refund. We stand behind the certification we sell.
