Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider & Renewal Certification

The Heart and Stroke Foundation offers a variety of Basic Life Support (BLS) training courses to help individuals learn the skills necessary to save a life in an emergency situation. Our BLS classes cover the latest guidelines and techniques for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use. We offer classes in three locations across Ontario: Downtown Toronto, Midtown Toronto, and Mississauga. Classes run daily in each location, and individuals can choose to attend one of the classes or schedule a group training onsite.

The Foundation offers four different BLS courses to meet the needs of various individuals:

1. 1. BLS Provider: This class is for individuals who are seeking their initial BLS certification or need to recertify. It covers the latest guidelines and techniques for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use. The course duration is approx. 4 hours.

   2. BLS Renewal: This class is designed for individuals who have already completed a Basic Life Support (BLS) course and need to renew their certification. The course duration is approx. 3 hours.

2. 3. BLS Blended Provider: This class combines online self-paced learning with an in-person skills session. It is designed for individuals who want the flexibility of completing the didactic portion of the course online, but still want the hands-on training and assessment that an in-person class provides. The course duration is approx. 1.5 hours

4. 4. BLS Blended Renewal: This class is similar to the BLS Blended Provider class, but is designed for individuals who need to renew their BLS certification.

Inviting us to do a group training at your hospital, clinic, or company is a great way to ensure that your staff is prepared to handle emergencies. With onsite training, we can work with you to schedule classes that fit the needs of your staff and provide training in the specific equipment and protocols used in your facility. This allows your staff to receive training that is tailored to the unique needs of your organization and ensures that they will be prepared to respond quickly and effectively in an emergency. Additionally, onsite training can save your organization time and money by eliminating the need to send staff to off-site training classes

Whether you choose to invite us to your organization for a group training or come attend one of our daily courses at our locations in Downtown Toronto, Midtown Toronto, or Mississauga, you can be sure that you will learn from the best. Our instructors are certified by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and are experts in the field of Basic Life Support. They will provide you with the latest guidelines and techniques for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use, and will ensure that you are well-prepared to handle emergency situations.

We pride ourselves in our commitment to providing the highest-quality training and support, and we are dedicated to helping individuals and organizations become more prepared to save lives.
