What the BLS Provider course covers

The AHA BLS Provider course is built around high-quality CPR for adults, children and infants — the compressions, ventilations and rhythm recognition that keep a patient viable until advanced care arrives. You will work through single-rescuer and team-based scenarios, because in a real code you are almost never alone.

Every student practises on a manikin with feedback, uses a bag-mask device, and runs an AED. The course finishes with a skills check-off against AHA criteria, and your BLS Provider eCard is valid for two years.

Which option do I need?

New certification is the full classroom course — take it if you have never held a BLS card, or if yours has already expired.

Renewal is the shorter course for anyone whose current card has not yet lapsed. Skills check-off is for students who have completed the AHA online module (HeartCode) elsewhere and only need the hands-on portion signed off.

Blended learning combines the AHA online module with an in-person skills session — useful when shift patterns make a full classroom day hard to schedule.

On-site BLS training for your facility

We bring the manikins, AED trainers, bag-mask devices and paperwork to you. With 5 or more attendees inside a 50-mile radius of Milford, DE you get the discounted group rate, and your staff lose an hour or two instead of a whole shift.

That suits nursing homes, dental practices, urgent-care clinics, physical-therapy groups, home-health agencies and school nursing teams across Kent, Sussex and the Eastern Shore. Fewer than five attendees, or outside the radius? Call — we will quote it.

Questions

BLS Provider FAQs

How long is the BLS Provider course?

Around three hours for a new certification and about two hours for a renewal. A skills check-off on its own usually takes up to an hour.

How long is my BLS card valid?

AHA BLS Provider certification is valid for two years from the date of completion. Renew before it expires and you can take the shorter renewal course rather than the full class.

Do I get an AHA card?

Yes. Successful students receive an American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard, which employers and licensing boards can verify directly with the AHA.

Do I need to buy the student book?

It is optional for most students and costs $20. Some employers and nursing programs require each student to have their own copy — check with yours before the class.

Can you come to our hospital or practice?

Yes. With 5 or more attendees within 50 miles of Milford, DE we run the class at your site at the discounted group rate. Call 302-470-2601 to pick a date.
