CPR Greenville now offers the BLS-ACLS combo classes since most health care providers are now required to be certified with basic life support and with advanced cardiac life support as well. Their combo class is a convenient way to learn BLS and ACLs immediately in just a class which saves time and money.

They begin the combo class with a review of the updates of American heart association on BLS or basic life support. The individuals renewing their ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) needs to know the information under BLS right away. When the review is done, they proceed on to adult CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training which includes rescue breathing, chest compressions, the use of bag-valve mask and the use of AED (automated external defibrillator). Their classroom setting encourages interactive scenarios that the students will love. And then the group check offs would follow. When the basic life support check offs are complete, the written test that is of a multiple choice type follows. They guarantee a 100% pass rate for this exam.

ACLS and BLS are both the needed courses if you plan to be a health care professional. This is necessary since all of the health care providers encounter emergencies and the management of certain emergencies needs honed skills acquired through vigorous training. These courses can be overwhelming especially to first timers and that why a calm and relaxed yet focused environment is needed to promote optimal learning experience for the ACLS and BLS takers.

They offer these classes on all health care providers in South Carolina.
