The American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) Course is the gold standard in emergency cardiovascular care training—and a critical component of any comprehensive workplace safety program. Tailored for organizations that prioritize employee readiness and regulatory compliance, this course equips staff with the lifesaving skills needed to respond effectively to cardiac and breathing emergencies both in and out of the workplace.

In today’s fast-paced work environments, having trained personnel who can take immediate action during a medical crisis can mean the difference between life and death. The BLS Course focuses on high-quality CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants, including the proper use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Participants also learn how to recognize and respond to choking, respiratory arrest, and cardiac arrest—core competencies that enhance workplace emergency preparedness.

Delivered using the AHA’s proven, evidence-based curriculum, the course blends cognitive learning with hands-on practice to reinforce skills and build confidence. Whether you’re in healthcare, manufacturing, education, hospitality, or corporate services, BLS training helps ensure your teams are prepared to act quickly and decisively in critical moments.

Flexible training options—including on-site classes, blended learning, and scalable group sessions—make it easy for businesses of all sizes to integrate BLS training into existing safety programs. Upon successful completion, participants receive an AHA BLS Provider eCard, valid for two years and widely recognized across industries.

Incorporating AHA BLS training into your workplace safety strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to employee well-being, regulatory compliance, and a culture of proactive risk management. Empower your teams with the skills they need to save lives—because in an emergency, preparedness starts with you.
