WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEARTSAVER CPR AED AND BLS PROVIDER COURSE?
THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENCES AND WE SUGGEST YOU REFER TO AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATIONS WEBSITE FOR DETAILED DESCRIPTION, BUT ONE OF THE MAYOR DIFFERENCES IS BLS IS USUALLY TAKEN BY INDIVIDUALS IN THE MEDICAL/HOSPITAL FIELDS WHETHER THEY ARE ALREADY IN THAT FIELD OR WILL EVENTUALLY WORK IN AND AROUND THAT FIELD. THAT ALSO INCLUDES DENTAL, PHYSICAL THERAPY, ETC., OR ANYONE THAT WILL PROVIDE HEALTHCARE TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUALS OR EMT, PARAMEDICS OR EMS .
WE HAVE NOTICE SOME OF THE SAME INDIVIDUALS TAKE THE HEARTSAVER CPR AED AS WELL BUT VERY RARELY. AGAIN, THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE THE CLASS YOU NEED IS TO ASK YOUR JOB OR SCHOOL WHICH CLASS THEY WILL ACCEPT.
