Basic Life Support School CPR Requirements
BLS is the foundation for saving lives after cardiac arrest. The AHA’s BLS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.
This video-based, Instructor-led course teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in both in-facility and prehospital settings.
AHA BLS Certification is one of the requirements of being admitted to these schools. Midtown CPR provides AHA CPR BLS Certification for a variety of medical professionals and caregivers.

The American Heart Association (AHA) is the world leader in CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) training and education. More than 350,000 people in the United States suffer from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year, and just 12 percent survive. However, statistics show that if more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved.
Immediate CPR can double, or even triple, a victim’s chance of survival. Increasing survival from cardiac arrest is why we have created various programs for companies, schools, and communities to offer lifesaving CPR and first aid training.
CPR certification and BLS certification give the victim a greater chance of surviving myocardial infarction. The American Heart Association is the preferred provider for teaching future healthcare providers the skills necessary when the need arises.
