Brampton BLS for Healthcare Providers Certification Training (Formerly HCP)

Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and AED Program

Healthcare providers and patient care responders require training that reflects current standards and workplace requirements. The Brampton BLS for Healthcare Providers Certification Training program is designed for individuals who need current Basic Life Support certification to support patient care in pre-hospital and in-facility environments.

The Canadian Red Cross has replaced the former Healthcare Provider (HCP) level of CPR with the Basic Life Support (BLS) program. Individuals who previously required CPR-HCP certification now require CPR-BLS certification. The Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and AED Program incorporates current evidence-based guidelines and meets industry standards and legislative requirements.

Participants learn CPR and choking management techniques for adults, children, and infants using BLS-level protocols. The program also includes Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training and certification, helping responders develop the practical skills required in emergency situations. SOS First Aid delivers the Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and AED Program as a Canadian Red Cross Training Partner through certified Red Cross instructors.

Training is available for participants in Brampton and surrounding communities. Group and workplace training options are also available for organizations seeking certification for multiple team members.
