Why choose American Academy as your BLS provider?

Healthcare workers routinely trust the American Academy for professional training is because we rigorously ensure the quality and depth of the information we provide. We believe it is important not only that health workers understand how to perform CPR and other lifesaving techniques, but that they also understand how and why these techniques work.

Basic Life Support Training for Healthcare Providers Improves Skills

Having in-depth knowledge of which techniques are appropriate for which emergencies helps healthcare workers respond to life-threatening situations more quickly and effectively. For example, they need to know how to differentiate between a sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack so they can determine whether to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use an AED, or other lifesaving measures. During sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), the heart stops beating, but proper use of an automated external defibrillator can shock the heart back into rhythm.

The administration of proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED can allow those who receive treatment a higher chance of survival and to live normal, happy lives afterward. As more public buildings, businesses and institutions install AEDs, it becomes even more critical that individuals know how to use this lifesaving equipment. Our cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification course teaches how to properly use an AED to save someone's life.

Complete your training for free. Get your CPR AED certification right away.

Whether you are interested in becoming CPR and AED certified for personal or professional reasons, the first step is to begin the American Academy's free course. Once you have read the materials and reviewed the techniques in the training videos, you can take the BLS for Healthcare Providers multiple choice exam. If you do not pass the exam on the first attempt, you can retake it until you achieve a passing score.
