Training programs
Our training programs are categorized under Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support. BLS training covers basic CPR skills like chest compressions, and are typically completed in a single four-hour program over one day. Skills learned from BLS training are made to manage cardiac arrest before medical help arrives. ALS programs are much more complicated, targeted mainly towards healthcare providers (HCPs). They teach CPR management in clinical set ups, with equipment and medication.
All of the programs give mandatory post-tests that trainees have to pass to get certified. Only the general public program allows trainees to choose not to get certified.
Basic Life Support
- Basic CPR for the general public – 4 hours, no re-certification
- Basic CPR for HCPs – 4.5 hours, no-recertification
- Basic Life Support for HCPs – 4.5 hours, re-certification 4 hours
Advanced Life Support
- Advanced Cardiac Life Support – 16 hours over 2 days, re-certification 5 to 6 hours

Certification and enrolment
Certificates from our providers are valid for 2 years, as per AHA guidelines. They can be renewed once they approach expiration, through a re-certification class. Expired certificates are not honored for re-certification and the rescue will have to retake the full training program.
Enrolment can be accomplished through:
- Online application form – found on the provider websites
- Telephone call – during operating hours
