What Is Basic Life Support (BLS)?

Basic Life Support (BLS) refers to the immediate lifesaving actions provided to a person experiencing a life-threatening emergency, particularly cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.

BLS focuses on rapid recognition, effective CPR, early use of an AED and appropriate emergency response.

Depending on the training programme, participants may practise:

Adult CPR
High-quality chest compressions
Rescue breathing
AED operation
Recognition of cardiac arrest
Choking management
Team-based resuscitation
Emergency response procedures

The emphasis is not simply on knowing the steps.

Participants need to practise the skills so they can respond effectively during an emergency.

	BLS Course	First Aid Course
Main focus	Life-threatening emergencies	Broader emergency care
CPR	✅ Core component	✅ Usually included
AED	✅ Core component	✅ Depending on programme
Choking	✅	✅ Usually included
Wounds / bleeding	Not the main focus	✅ Usually included
Burns	Not the main focus	✅ Usually included
Fractures	Not the main focus	✅ Usually included
Workplace first aid	Not the main focus	✅ Usually included
Suitable for	Healthcare / designated groups	Employees / workplace first aiders / general participants

In simple terms:

BLS = focus on maintaining life during a critical emergency.

First Aid = broader care for injuries and medical emergencies.

This is important because someone searching for BLS course may not actually want a general First Aid course.

Who Should Attend BLS Training?

BLS training may be suitable for participants whose work or responsibilities require a higher level of CPR and resuscitation training.

Depending on the programme, this may include:

Healthcare Professionals

Doctors
Nurses
Medical assistants
Paramedics
Healthcare workers
Other healthcare professionals

Healthcare & Care Organisations

Clinics
Hospitals
Medical centres
Care facilities
Healthcare institutions

Other Organisations

BLS training may also be arranged for companies, institutions and organisations that require BLS skills for their personnel.

Training requirements should be matched to the participant’s role and applicable certification requirements.

Practical BLS Training

Learn It. Practise It. Perform It.

BLS is a practical skill.

LSPA training includes demonstrations and hands-on practice using CPR manikins and AED trainers.

Participants have the opportunity to practise key skills rather than simply watching a demonstration.

Training may include:

Demonstration → Guided Practice → Hands-On Practice → Assessment

This approach helps participants become more familiar with the sequence of actions required during a real emergency.

BLS Certification

Do You Receive a BLS Certificate?

Participants who successfully complete the applicable BLS programme and assessment requirements may receive the relevant BLS certificate / certification documentation for that programme.

Certification requirements can vary depending on the course provider, programme and applicable guidelines.

If your organisation requires a specific certification, please tell us the certification requirement before booking, so we can recommend the appropriate programme.
