Oakville BLS for Healthcare Providers Certification Training (Formerly HCP)
Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and AED Program
Healthcare providers often need current certification that reflects the latest standards in patient care and emergency response. The Oakville BLS for Healthcare Providers Certification Training program helps responders obtain recognized Basic Life Support certification for work 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 aligns with industry standards and legislative requirements.
Participants in the program 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. Participants build the practical skills needed to respond effectively during patient care and 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. The program provides healthcare providers and responders with practical instruction that supports patient care responsibilities and team-based emergency response.
Participants can attend training in Oakville and nearby communities. Organizations can also access group and workplace training options to certify multiple team members through a single training session.
