Basic Life Support

The Basic Life Support (BLS) credential is a certification offered by organizations such as the American Heart Association (AHA) that equips individuals with essential skills for responding to life-threatening emergencies. This credential is offered through our Health Science II course.  

Key aspects of the certification include:

2. AED Use: It teaches the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to help restore a normal heart rhythm.

3. Team Dynamics: The course emphasizes working effectively as part of a team in emergency situations.

4. Certification: Upon completion, students earn a certification that is valid for two years, demonstrating their preparedness to assist in critical medical emergencies.

This credential is crucial for students pursuing careers in healthcare, as it provides foundational life-saving skills.
