How To Prepare
The BLS for Healthcare Providers Course is designed to train you in the lifesaving skills of both CPR and relief of choking. Because the BLS for Healthcare Providers Course covers a lot of material in a relatively short time, advance preparation is required.

2. Carefully reading the objectives at the beginning of each section.
