What is Basic Life Support Certification?
- Basic Life Support, or BLS, is a level of medical care provided to victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can receive complete medical care at a hospital. Certification in BLS follows ILCOR's guidelines for training individuals to recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to all ages, use an AED (automated external defibrillator), and relieve choking in a safe, timely, and effective manner. BLS skills are essential for healthcare providers and first aid responders.
- Advanced Medical Certification's BLS certification online is every bit as thorough, reliable, and accepted as traditional classroom certification. Our certification classes and BLS renewal course are 100 percent guaranteed for proof of certification and acceptance. Because we use the same criteria and training as classroom courses, our online certifications and certification cards are just as readily accepted.
- Board-certified physicians design all of our courses, adhere to the latest ILCOR Standards and Guidelines, and are Joint Commission (JCAHO) compliant.

Have questions about our BLS Certification Course?
AMC has developed a highly advanced curriculum of online BLS certification courses. Our courses, training materials, and exams are constructed in accordance with ILCOR 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.
Many people mistakenly believe that AHA is an accrediting organization. However, this is not the case; our courses are accredited by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM). All of our courses are created by practicing physicians and adhere to the latest ILCOR guidelines.
Basic Life Support Certification refers to the training that healthcare providers and professionals, as well as first responders and medical assistants, receive to equip them to provide support in emergencies such as cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, or airway obstruction.
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 set time frame to ensure that certified individuals are trained in the most current guidelines and procedures. BLS renewal training is a recap of all BLS skills with an emphasis on the most recent procedure updates or changes. Certifications are valid for two years.
