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 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.
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.
