BLS, CPR, AED and First Aid Courses
What is BLS Training?
Basic Life Support (BLS) training is a foundational course for healthcare professionals and others who may need to respond to emergencies. It provides instruction on:

High-quality CPR: Providing effective chest compressions, ventilations, and using an AED
(Automated External Defibrillator).
Chain of Survival: Understanding the critical steps in survival — early access, early CPR,
early defibrillation, early advanced care.
Team dynamics: Working effectively with others during a resuscitation.
Foreign body airway obstruction (choking): Learning techniques for adults, children, and infants.
First Aid Basics: Bleeding control, burns, fractures, seizures, allergic reactions,
diabetic emergencies, and more.
