Basic Life Support (BLS) certification differentiates itself from standard CPR certification due to its primary focus being towards healthcare providers like dentists, MDs, nurses, EMTs and CNAs. BLS puts emphasis on high performance CPR and teamwork. BLS class training also includes using medical equipment like pocket masks and bag valve masks (BVM) for ventilation. Our American Heart Association BLS certifications are valid for 2 years and are accepted at most healthcare clinics in Southern California
