BLS Renewal & Recertification

BLS Renewal & Recertification at Safety Training Seminars ensures that healthcare professionals, first responders, and public safety personnel maintain current Basic Life Support (BLS) skills and remain compliant with American Heart Association (AHA) standards. BLS skills can diminish over time, making renewal essential for effective response to life-threatening emergencies. Our recertification courses help participants refresh knowledge, update skills, and stay compliant with employer and regulatory requirements.

American Heart Association® BLS CPR Classes are designed for healthcare professionals and first responders who need high-quality, hands-on life-saving training. Our courses follow the latest AHA guidelines and focus on real-world skills you can confidently apply in emergency situations. Whether you’re a nurse, doctor, EMT, dental professional, or part of a clinical team, our BLS CPR certification ensures you meet workplace and regulatory requirements.

Why BLS Renewal & Recertification Is Important

Even trained professionals may experience skill decay if BLS techniques are not practiced regularly. Renewal ensures participants:

  • Stay current with the latest AHA CPR & ECC Guidelines
  • Maintain competency in CPR, AED use, and airway management
  • Reinforce critical decision-making and team-based resuscitation skills
  • Comply with employer, licensing, and credentialing requirements

Regular BLS renewal helps prevent errors, boosts confidence in emergency response, and ensures high-quality patient care in all situations.

Who Needs BLS Renewal & Recertification?

BLS renewal is required for anyone holding AHA BLS certification whose credential is nearing expiration. Typical participants include:

  • Nurses, physicians, and hospital staff
  • EMTs, paramedics, and first responders
  • Dental and oral healthcare teams
  • Medical assistants and clinical technicians
  • Home healthcare providers and caregivers
  • Public safety personnel, including police and fire professionals

Most employers and healthcare institutions require recertification every two years to maintain active compliance.

BLS Renewal & Recertification Training

Safety Training Seminars offers flexible renewal options to meet your schedule while adhering to AHA standards. Participants can choose from:

In-Person Renewal

Instructor-led courses provide hands-on practice to refresh CPR, AED, and airway management skills. This traditional classroom format allows real-time feedback and guidance from certified instructors.

Blended Learning Renewal

Combine self-paced online review modules with an in-person skills session to validate competency. This option is ideal for professionals looking to minimize time away from work while still meeting AHA requirements.

Skills Covered in Recertification

  • Adult, child, and infant CPR
  • AED operation and shock delivery
  • Management of airway obstruction
  • Team-based resuscitation and communication
  • Updated AHA protocols and emergency procedures

Completion of the recertification course ensures participants remain fully qualified and compliant.

Certification After Renewal

After successful BLS renewal, participants receive an official AHA BLS Provider eCard, which:

  • Confirms continued competency and certification
  • Is valid for two years from the date of renewal
  • Is recognized nationwide by hospitals, clinics, EMS agencies, and healthcare employers
  • Can be shared, printed, and verified digitally for employment or licensing

Digital eCards make it easy to provide proof of certification whenever needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to renew my BLS certification?

AHA BLS Provider certification is valid for two years. Renewal is required before expiration to remain compliant with employer and regulatory requirements.

No. While some knowledge review can be completed online in blended learning formats, an in-person skills session is mandatory for AHA BLS recertification.

If your BLS certification expires, you must complete a full BLS course (not just renewal) to regain certification. Staying up-to-date ensures your skills are current and accepted by employers.
