Course Offerings

A refresher course in basic health care is just what the doctor ordered. BLS for the HCP CPR Refresher teaches healthcare professionals how to recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and relieve choking in a timely and effective way. You will use the American Heart Association's "practice-while-watching" technique, in which instructors observe students and provide feedback and guidance. You can also practice the skills you learn throughout the course.
