BLS Certification & Recertification

Our course and training materials were constructed in accordance with the latest ILCOR Standards and Guidelines and are Joint Commission (JCAHO) compliant. Save a Life Certifications’ on-staff physicians regularly review and compare all course tests and materials, updating them as needed with any changes published by ILCOR to ensure that the certification training class you receive is always up to date!

This is a common misconception. The AHA is not an accrediting body. We are accredited by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM). All courses are designed by practicing physicians, meeting the same guidelines and standards as the latest ILCOR guidelines.

The short answer — absolutely!

Our courses are made to fit the demands of your busy professional life. Many healthcare professionals are new to the concept of an online certification course because until recently, online certification was not an option.
