The American Heart Association (AHA) recognizes that healthcare providers have knowledge and skills acquired from prior CPR training and years of patient care, but finding convenient ways to maintain those skills or gain recertification can be challenging.

The new Basic Life Support for Healthcare Provider (BLS HCP) eLearning Part 1 course is part of AHA’s eLearning program and represents the cognitive portion (Part 1) of this blended learning course for healthcare provider certification. It is an ideal option for the healthcare provider who has previously taken a BLS course and would like to obtain easily a new healthcare provider card.
