CPR/BLS (Basic Life Support) training is designed for health care professionals or persons who are currently pursuing education in health care-related fields such as nursing, respiratory therapy, or dental. This training reinforces health care professionals' understanding of the importance of early CPR and defibrillation; basic steps of performing CPR, relieving choking, and using an AED; and the role of each link in the Chain of Survival.

Heartsaver courses are designed for those outside of a health care setting interested in learning CPR or First Aid. Heartsaver courses in CPR, first aid and bloodborne pathogens are designed to meet OSHA requirements. These courses include the skills and knowledge needed to respond to and manage a first aid or sudden cardiac arrest emergency in the first few minutes until health care professionals arrive on the scene.
For the greatest overall lifesaving knowledge, we recommend First Aid/CPR/AED Heartsaver, which is available in hybrid or in-person formats.
