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)
