BLS Basic Life Support

Goodbye HCP. Hello BLS

Duration: 3-4 hours in class 

The Canadian Red Cross is proud to release the new Basic Life Support (BLS) program -the only Canadian researched and developed program, and the most up-to-date on the market. Our BLS program incorporates the latest evidence-based science and research; aligns with industry standards; and meets legislative requirements. 

So Who Needs BLS Training?

The revised BLS curriculum is in replacement of the old Health Care Provider (HCP) curriculum. Anyone that previously required CPR/AED with level HCP will now require CPR/AED with BLS. This change is important to note for two key audiences:

  1. "In-facility" care providers, including nursing staff, care aides, medical and dental professionals.
  2. Pre-hospital care providers, which may include professionals in fire service, rescue team, sports medicine, lifeguard and ski patrol.
An important note on BLS is that, unlike CPR/AED with HCP which is valid for 3 years. CPR/AED with BLS certificates are valid for 1 year. Your BLS certification will need to be renewed yearly. This is to ensure that all Health Care Providers are current with industry resuscitation standards.  

Certification: 1-year certification in CPR/AED Level BLS

Duration: 3.5 hours in-class
