Overview
Basic Life Support (BLS) is advanced CPR for healthcare providers.   Emergency responders are a category of healthcare providers that usually need BLS and could benefit from more advanced first aid training.  This American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI) course has the same core content as our other ASHI BLS and First Aid class, but also includes additional training and supplemental topics specifically relevant to emergency responders.​
