What is Basic Life Support Certification?
- Basic Life Support, or BLS, is a level of medical care used for victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital. Certification in BLS follows the ILCOR’s guidelines for training individuals to recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to all ages, administer the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator), and relieve choking in a safe, timely and effective manner.
- Advanced Medical Certification’s BLS online certification is every bit as thorough, reliable, and accepted as traditional classroom certification. Our certification classes and renewal training courses are 100 percent guaranteed for certification proof and acceptance. Because we use the same criteria and training as classroom courses, our online certifications and certification cards are just as readily accepted.
- All of our courses are designed by Board Certified Physicians and adhere to the latest ILCOR Standards and Guidelines and are Joint Commission (JCAHO) compliant. In addition, all of our courses meet the same guidelines and standards as the ECC/ILCOR, and OSHA.

No clinical skills test
With AMC’s online certification, no clinical skills test is required. Each course includes a study guide that you can access from your account at any time. You can print a physical copy from any computer, so you can study at your convenience and keep it as a reminder following successful completion. No additional materials or training courses are required
Take your time.
One of the biggest advantages to AMC’s online courses is that you work at your own pace. You don’t have to complete the course all at once, and you can start and stop as often as necessary. This allows you to study or even take the exams in more than one sitting. Your progress on the test is automatically saved when you exit the online training courses allowing you to pick up right where you left off – any time.
Free unlimited exam retakes
With AMC, you are not penalized if you do not successfully pass your certification exam on your first attempt. Your results are available in your account indefinitely for your review. Take all the time you like to review the study guides in your account, and compare responses to the BLS PDF study guide. Each time you take the test, you receive a new set of questions, ensuring you have a total understanding of the subject matter. All exam retakes are free.
Instant proof
Employers often require proof of certification. So, AMC provides you with instant access, instant exam review and instant proof of certification upon passing, i.e., your certification card. As soon as you successfully complete your exam, your results are shown in your account and emailed to you, giving your employer or any other requiring body digital proof of your certification so you can keep working.

Have questions about our BLS Certification Course?
Many people mistakenly believe that the AHA is an accrediting organization. However, this is not the case; accreditation of our courses is granted by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM). All of our courses are created by practicing physicians, and adhere to the same standards as the most recent ILCOR guidelines.
Basic Life Support Certification refers to the type of training that healthcare providers and professionals, as well as first-responders and medical assistants receive in order to make them equipped to provide support in emergency cases such as cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest or airway obstruction. An individual who is BLS certified can react in these types of situations and provide immediate assistance until the ambulance arrives.
Because this type of medical care is so universal, many healthcare providers are required to be certified, including those providing care before hospitalization, such as EMT and other first responders. It is often required for anyone connected to patient care in hospitals and physicians’ offices. Other institutions, such as schools and large employers, may also require key personnel to receive the BLS training.
After completing a BLS training course, you’ll be able to recognize a cardiac arrest early on, perform chest compressions and use an AED. The knowledge you’ll acquire will help you grow confident and respond quickly in unpredictable situations.
Most medical certifications expire within a certain time frame to ensure those who are certified are trained in the most current guidelines and procedures. BLS recertification training is a recap of all BLS skills with an emphasis on the most recent procedure updates or changes.
There is no difference in the type, depth or quality of training between classroom courses and online courses – that is as long as you choose the right online training. AMC has developed a highly advanced curriculum of online BLS certification courses. Our courses, training materials and exams are constructed in accordance with the ILCOR’s standards and guidelines.
AMC’s online courses do have one major difference from classroom courses – time. With AMC, you can get a certification card in less than an hour. You take the classes on your schedule and at the location of your choosing rather than in a classroom with a set timetable. You get the certification you need with excellent training, but without the inconvenience and time requirements of the classroom.
