This course provides essential basic life support (BLS) skills, including techniques for adults, children, and infants, as well as healthcare-specific variations for infant CPR. It covers critical topics such as safety precautions, initial assessment, recovery position, CPR, compression-only CPR, CPR handover, and managing choking incidents. The course aligns with the latest European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and UK Resuscitation Council Guidelines and is designed for Healthcare Professionals with a duty to respond.
This version is intended for learners who have previously completed BLS training and require a skills refresher every six months. If your existing certificate is nearing its one-year expiration, this course is not suitable for you. Instead, you should enroll in our full BLS for healthcare professionals course, which is available with or without AED training.
ProTrainings Basic Life Support courses are designed to meet all required learning outcomes and align with the Skills for Health UK Core Skills Training Framework (UK-CSTF), covering both Level 2 adult and pediatric patient care. The course is also Skills for Care Endorsed and follows the Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines for adult and peadiatric CPR and BLS.
Additionally, we have a national network of instructors who can deliver onsite training at your workplace, accommodating your schedule.
This qualification, along with most other ProTrainings certifications, is endorsed by TQUK, demonstrating our commitment to high standards of compliance and quality assurance.
We encourage companies, organisations, or agencies to contact us for group discounts, onsite training options, and details about how our system can help track and monitor staff training.
This course comes with 2.0 hrs (3.0 class) of CPD, although the time to complete the course online may be less than this. Total course time includes 1 hour and 28 minutes of video training as well as knowledge reviews, final test, remedial help and reviewing downloaded material.
The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a ProTrainings Certificate and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement.
