BLS Provider Level C

Basic Life Support (BLS) teaches participants how to respond to emergences with basic life support skills. Designed for pre-hospital and in-facility settings, students will learn CPR skills for all ages, use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), and clearing a blocked airway.

The First Aid programs taught by Arctic Response meet or exceed national, territorial and provincial standards and incorporate the most recent  2010 Heart and Stroke CPR Guidelines.  

Additionally, Arctic Response sits on the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Technical Committee currently developing CSA standards for Workplace First Aid.
