Basic Life Support Awareness FAQs
What is Basic Life Support Awareness?
Basic Life Support (BLS) enables candidates to gain competency in both the delivery of Basic Life Support and the use of Automated External Defibrillator devices when someone is in cardiac arrest.
Who should attend this course?
Basic Life Support Awareness is available to anyone interested in supporting someone when faced with cardiac arrest. It is strongly encouraged where this increased likelihood that cardiac arrest could occur.
Why is this course only available as in-house training?
Learning to perform basic life support and to use an automated external defibrillator is an interactive process that requires both knowledge and skills. It is therefore vital that instructors guide the candidates through the correct use of AED devices as it may cause more harm if administered incorrectly.
Where can I get an AED?
As well as offering training on the use of AED, TutorCare also sells a wide range of Automated External Defibrillators online. Please look at our AED section for more information.
