What is BLS?

Basic Life Support (BLS) is an emergency response training program that teaches individuals how to recognize and respond to life-threatening situations such as cardiac arrest, breathing emergencies, and choking. It focuses on providing immediate, high-quality care through CPR, AED use, and rescue breathing until advanced medical help arrives. BLS training is essential for healthcare professionals and is also valuable in workplaces, schools, and community settings where emergencies may occur. In Washington, the course typically combines online learning with an in-person hands-on skills session to ensure practical readiness, and upon completion, participants receive an American Heart Association–recognized certification valid for 2 years.

Who Takes BLS Certification in Washington

Hospital & Clinical Healthcare Staff

These professionals provide direct patient care in hospitals, clinics, physician offices, and outpatient facilities. Because they may need to respond to cardiac arrest, respiratory emergencies, or other life-threatening situations, employers typically require BLS certification.

Examples:

  • Physicians
  • Registered Nurses (RNs)
  • Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)
  • Medical Assistants
  • Respiratory Therapists
  • Patient Care Technicians

Why BLS is needed:

They regularly interact with patients who may experience medical emergencies and must be able to perform CPR, use an AED, and assist with airway management.

Emergency Medical and Public Safety Personnel

These professionals are often first responders who arrive at emergency scenes before or alongside advanced medical teams.

Examples:

  • Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
  • Paramedics
  • Firefighters
  • Certain law enforcement officers
  • Rescue personnel

Why BLS is needed:
Their role includes providing immediate lifesaving care during accidents, medical emergencies, disasters, and public safety incidents.

Dental Care Professionals

Washington has specific BLS requirements for many dental professionals who provide direct patient care.

Examples:

  • Dentists
  • Dental Hygienists
  • Dental Assistants
  • Expanded Function Dental Auxiliaries
  • Certified Dental Anesthesia Assistants

Why BLS is needed:

Patients can experience medical emergencies during dental procedures, particularly when sedation or anesthesia is involved. Staff must be prepared to respond quickly.

Long-Term Care and Patient Support Workers

These professionals care for patients in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home health settings.

Examples:

  • Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs)
  • Home Health Aides
  • Caregivers
  • Rehabilitation Support Staff
  • Assisted Living Care Staff

Why BLS is needed:

They often work with elderly or medically fragile individuals who may have higher risks of cardiac or respiratory emergencies.

Healthcare Students and Trainees

Many educational programs require BLS certification before students can participate in clinical training.

Examples:

  • Nursing students
  • Medical students
  • Dental students
  • EMT students
  • Allied health students

Why BLS is needed:

Students must be capable of responding appropriately during clinical rotations and patient-care experiences.

Community, Education, and Recreation Professionals

These roles are not always legally required to hold BLS certification, but employers frequently require CPR/BLS training because they supervise the public.

Examples:

  • School coaches
  • Athletic trainers
  • Lifeguards
  • Fitness instructors
  • Childcare providers
  • Camp staff

Why BLS is needed:

They are responsible for the safety of children, athletes, or members of the public and may need to respond before emergency medical services arrive.

My only takeaway is that the room had no air circulation. The air in that room is really stagnant. The room temperature definitely made me lethargic and fatigued surprisingly fast while doing the exercises during my session which I’m certain decreased my performance. I had to open the windows. I was sweating like an NFL player. 😅 I did make sure to sanitize thoroughly with everything I touched. 😁 The service was exceptional. I received a text message with videos on the day of what to expect during the session. I was also able to watch RQI videos on YouTube beforehand. I called for support trying to find the location and received almost instant communication. Services couldn’t be better. I highly recommend this place. I was able to obtain my BLS certification online at my own pace for the knowledge part and for the in-person session, the test is really easy but a bit harder if you never done it before or haven’t done it in a really long time. Everybody’s experience will vary but you will for sure pass without a doubt. The chest compressions for the adult is where I struggled the most. You have to find that perfect balance with pressure and speed. Overall, it was an excellent experience. Clean environment, professional service, and easy to follow instructions. Please get a fan or some type of cooling system in there as the temperatures start to climb. 😉

I was skeptical that all of the skills training could be done in a completely automated fashion, but it couldn’t have been easier. The instructions on how to access the facility were very clear, the equipment was top-notch and it didn’t take too long. Highly recommend.

I’m a pediatric RN & took my PALS course with CPR VAM. I had a great experience - the check-in instructions were clear, the space was clean, & equipment was in great condition/easy to use! I even bumped into the owner, who was coming into clean the space, on my way out - he was very kind & helpful. Would recommend!!!
Quick, effective and great feedback. It was the same training I received in the hospital. Definitely would recommend to all levels needing to renew or get their BLS
