An AHA BLS Provider course completion card is valid for two years. Planning your renewal early helps you avoid a gap, especially if your employer requires a current card.
When to book
Check the expiry date on your card and look for a class a few weeks before it. Classes fill up at busy times of the year, so an early inquiry gives you more dates to choose from.
What to bring
Checklist
- A valid ID for registration
- Your current BLS card
- Comfortable clothes for floor practice
A renewal class is still hands-on: you practise and are tested on the same skills as a first class.
