Attendees will participate in simulated scenarios and learning stations while working closely with an AHA BLS Instructor to complete BLS skills practice and skills testing. Attendees are also required to complete and pass a written exam. Upon successful completion of skills testing and passing the written exam, attendees will be issued an AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers Course Completion Card which is valid for two years.

 

The approximate time required to complete the Initial Provider Course is about 4 1/2 hours, which includes skills practice, skills testing, and completion of the written examination. The approximate time required to complete the Renewal Course is about 2 1/2 hours, which includes skills practice, skills testing, and completion of the written examination. Training times are customized to meet the specific needs of the individual class attendees.
