Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers in New England
At CPR New England, we offer Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers designed for professionals who are expected to respond to cardiac and respiratory emergencies as part of their job. This course is ideal for nurses, EMTs, physicians, dentists, physical therapists, medical assistants, CNAs, and other allied health professionals working in clinical or prehospital settings.
Our BLS training follows the most current guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and includes both the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to perform effective CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in a healthcare environment.
What You’ll Learn in BLS for Healthcare Providers
Participants will be trained in:
High-quality adult, child, and infant CPR
One-rescuer and two-rescuer CPR techniques
Use of a bag-valve-mask (BVM) for ventilations
AED use and troubleshooting
Relief of choking in adults and infants
Team dynamics during resuscitation
Pulse checks, rescue breathing, and advanced scenarios
The course includes real-world simulations and team-based practice scenarios that reflect hospital, clinic, and field situations. Whether you’re renewing your BLS certification or taking it for the first time, our experienced instructors provide clear, supportive training that helps you build confidence and competence.
Certification and Format
Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a 2-year BLS Provider eCard from the American Heart Association, which is accepted by all major hospitals, clinics, and licensing boards.
We offer both:
Traditional Instructor-Led Classes: Fully in person with hands-on skills and interactive learning.
Blended Learning Options: Complete the online course at your own pace, then attend a short in-person skills check.
We also offer group training for clinics, dental offices, hospitals, and medical schools across New England.
