Do I take Blended Course or Instructor led course?

If it is the first time you are taking the course you need, we advise that you take the Instructor led course, although the time you spend in the classroom is more, the benefits outweighs the convenience of blended course.   You have more hands on practice and interactive learning experience.   If you have taken the course you need, and you cannot spend more time in the classroom, then Blended learning is a more practical choice.  However, a good number of students who has never taken the course they need but elected the Blended learning still completed their Skills Session well.   Our instructors, guide our students through the skills they need to complete the course.  

​

Do I need BLS or CPR? 

BLS certification is generally more intensive and complex than CPR training and encompasses a wider variety of medical training. A CPR (if you need Adult and Pediatric, you must look for a course that covers both) course can often be a precursor, but not necessary to taking a BLS certification course, which is often considered a slightly more advanced option.  Layperson (non healthcare providers) CPR training is generally what is taken if participants are not healthcare providers.   Employers accept both CPR Training and BLS for Healthcare Providers when CPR Training is required.    Please note that if you are required or in addition to CPR training is required to take First Aid Training, First Aid Training is NOT the same as CPR or BLS Training.  If you need First Aid Training you must ensure that the course you are taking includes First Aid Training or you may take First Aid Training as a separate course online or in person.   

Please click on the List of Jobs/Professions that require BLS for Healthcare Providers
If your job/profession is not on the list, ask your employer if you need BLS or CPR.
