What is Basic Life Support or BLS certification and recertification?
Previously, BLS was called HCP. At the time, the course certification was valid for three years. The upgraded Basic Life Support training replaced HCP in 2019 when the government decided that annual recertification is necessary for all.
The Burlington Basic Life Support Course is Canadian Red Cross approved. Once completed, all students have a WSIB approved certificate.
Currently, recertification is not available. If you already have a Basic Life Support certificate, you can renew it by registering for the entire training course, and you qualify for a discounted rate.
You can do this by selecting “Renew Your Basic Life Support (HCP)” from the dropdown menu during the registration process of your course. Remember to bring your current BLS certificate to the course.
