First Aid, Basic life support (BLS), Airway Management, & Oxygen Therapy Training

Basic life support (BLS) is the next step up from standard first aid, built for people who may have to respond in a professional role. You might be a healthcare worker, a lifeguard, a security officer, or part of a workplace response team. The situation is usually a cardiac arrest or a serious airway emergency where every second counts and you need to act with confidence until more advanced help arrives.

The course is hands-on from the start. You practise high-quality CPR on adult, child, and infant manikins, learning the correct depth and rate for each. You use a bag-valve mask to ventilate, work with an AED, and run through scenarios that simulate a real resuscitation. Our instructors watch your technique, correct your form, and push you to work smoothly as part of a team, just as you would on the job.

What makes one BLS course different from another is the mix of people in the room and the scenarios we run. A group of nurses brings different experience than a team of lifeguards, so the practice adapts. The number of participants changes how much individual coaching you get, and whether you need extra manikins or more time. The pace is faster when the group is smaller, and the cost reflects the equipment and instructor time involved.

During the course, you will be on your feet and active, so wear comfortable clothes and be ready to kneel on the floor. You will work through several scenarios, and we will give you feedback as you go. At the end, there is a practical assessment to confirm your skills. After the course, you receive a certificate if you pass, and you should keep it with your professional records. Before you come, let us know if you have any physical limitations so we can adjust the practice.
