Basic Life Support CPR BLS (Formerly HCP) and AED

BLS for Healthcare Providers Certification Training (Formerly HCP)

Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and AED Program

The Canadian Red Cross has replaced the Healthcare Provider (HCP) level of CPR with the new Basic Life Support (BLS) program. Responders who previously required CPR-HCP certification will now require CPR-BLS certification.

The updated BLS & AED program (formerly HCP) incorporates the latest evidence-based guidelines and meets current industry standards and legislative requirements.

This certification course covers CPR and choking management for adults, children, and infants using BLS-level protocols. Participants will also receive Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training and certification as part of the course.

As a Canadian Red Cross Training Partner, SOS First Aid delivers First Aid and CPR training through certified Red Cross instructors.

Training is available at convenient locations across Southern Ontario, including Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and Brampton.

Upon successful completion, participants will receive:
• Canadian Red Cross Basic Life Support (BLS) & AED Certification (valid for 1 year)

Price: $70.00 (plus HST)

  • Adult/Child/Baby – One-Rescuer CPR: Learn how to perform CPR independently for adults, children, and infants using current Basic Life Support (BLS) techniques.
  • Adult/Child/Baby – Two-Rescuer CPR: Practice coordinated CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants when responding as part of a two-person team.
  • Adult/Child/Baby Choking: Recognize and respond to choking emergencies across all age groups using appropriate intervention techniques.
