What is BLS AHA certification?
The Basic Life Support (BLS) course results in BLS certification from AHA (American Heart Association). BLS training provides participants with the ability to recognize life-threatening emergencies, perform timely AED use, deliver functional ventilations, and give adequate chest compressions.
Do you offer online BLS training?
Prime Medical Training focuses on the physical aspects of BLS CPR classes — we believe that this is not a skill you can obtain solely through online training. With that in mind, we encourage you to visit our training center in Knoxville, TN for in-person classes!
Will I get a BLS certificate?
Yes, Prime Medical Training provides BLS courses approved by the AHA — we are an AHA-authorized training center, and you’ll get a BLS certificate at the end of your training.
Is BLS & CPR the same course?
No — BLS is the highest CPR level you can get, and it’s intended for healthcare professionals. General CPR classes are intended for anyone else who wants to learn CPR, or professionals in non-healthcare industries that still need CPR certification in Knoxville.
