The American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider Certification program is designed to provide healthcare professionals and other rescuers with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and respond to life-threatening emergencies. It focuses on high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for adults, children, and infants, as well as the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) and effective team dynamics in a multi-rescuer situation.
