Developed by the American Heart Association, their are many BLS (First aid and CPR) courses available. At GEMS we are fortunate to have several BLS instructors on our staff and are able to provide a wide variety of BLS instruction. By having these instuctors "in-house" we can provide classes on a flexible schedule to meet your specific requirements.
Each of the courses below are AHA BLS courses. The difference in each course is the intended audience, and amount and depth of material covered in the course. Please browse through the following links to determine the class that is best for you. If you still have questions regarding which course is best for your intended audience, please feel free to contact Randy Price with your questions, or submit our Class Request Form with your questions. We will help you design a course that best meets your specific needs.
