Basic Life Support

Basic Life Support

The TTUHSC Simulation Program offers Basic Life Support in two formats, classroom and eLearning (online). BLS is also offered in Abilene, Amarillo, Lubbock, Mansfield, and Odessa TTUHSC Campuses.

American Heart Association Basic Life Support is for current or future healthcare providers. Prior to the release of the 2015 AHA Guidelines, the Basic Life Support Course was known as Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers.

If you are not a current healthcare provider and do not have plans of pursuing a career in healthcare, it is recommended you take the HeartSaver CPR AED course.

eLearning (online)

The eLearning course for BLS is the same curriculum offered in the classroom setting. The eLearning Course is self-pace9:00 amd and allows participants the flexibility to complete the course on their own time, in as many sessions as needed. As such, eLearning is recommended when classroom courses are not available.

The eLearning course consists of two parts. Part 1 is the self-paced online course. Part 2 is the skills testing which must be completed in person at the Training Center.

We understand that eLearning may not suit everyone’s learning style. We also don’t recommend it for the first time taking the course. Please call to enroll in eLearning.
