Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification
Get Certified in CPR and Other Skills
The Office of Student Affairs offers Basic Life Support (BLS) certification for CU alumni, faculty, staff, students, and unaffiliated community members. This is a 4-hour traditional classroom course where BLS is taught and demonstrated. Participants learn to recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR, and use an AED.
You don't need to be a healthcare provider to participate. The BLS course provides a two-year certification through the American Heart Association.
Participants will receive the BLS Provider Manual at the beginning of class. The course will be held in the Education 2 North Building, #3108. The class will start promptly at 5pm so we suggest getting there early or you may not be permitted into the class. Typically, renewal classes are 3-3.5 hours long and initial classes are 4 hours long.Visitors are encouraged to park in the Ignacio or Georgetown lots. A parking map can be found in the confirmation email after registering for the course
