Courses for Healthcare Providers

The American Heart Association BLS Provider course is designed for healthcare providers caring for patients both in pre-hospital and in-facility environments. Students entering healthcare fields at CBC will need this course before attending internship/clinical.

In the Instructor-led course, students participate in simulated clinical scenarios and learning stations. Students work with an AHA BLS Instructor to complete BLS skills practice and skills testing. Students also complete a written exam.
