The ERC BLS Course teaches how to perform the first level of care for a person in cardiac arrest using basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with an automated external defibrillator (AED).
During European Resuscitation Council (ERC) BLS/AED Provider courses, certified instructors will guide and support you in the learning process. Learning how to perform basic life support and how to use an automated external defibrillator is an interactive process that requires both knowledge and skills. Some or all this knowledge and some skills can be obtained through self-instruction and online learning.
