Course Overview

What is this course

Emergencies can happen at any time, and knowing how to respond quickly can help protect lives until professional medical assistance arrives. The ProQual Accredited Certified Basic Life Support (BLS) Training Course for Adults and Children is designed to provide learners with the essential knowledge and practical techniques needed to recognise life-threatening situations and deliver immediate basic life support with confidence.

This comprehensive training explores the core principles of Basic Life Support (BLS), enabling learners to respond effectively to emergencies involving both adults and children. Throughout the programme, participants develop an understanding of how to assess an emergency scene, recognise cardiac arrest, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), manage choking incidents, place casualties in the recovery position, and provide appropriate care while waiting for emergency medical services.

The course combines current best practices with practical, scenario-based learning to help learners build confidence in responding to real-life emergencies. Whether in the workplace, educational settings, sports facilities, healthcare environments, or everyday life, the knowledge gained can help individuals act calmly, safely, and effectively during critical situations.

This high-quality, non-regulated CPD programme supports professional skills development and is suitable for healthcare support workers, teachers, childcare professionals, workplace first aiders, carers, sports coaches, community volunteers, and anyone who wishes to develop practical life-saving skills for adults and children.
