Learn Life-Saving CPR and AED Skills
Basic Life Support (BLS) training is designed to teach individuals how to respond to life-threatening emergencies. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, first responder, or a member of the public, BLS training equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to perform CPR, use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and provide effective chest compressions.
At RCMS Life Support, our BLS courses are delivered by certified, experienced instructors who ensure participants gain hands-on experience in life-saving techniques. Our comprehensive curriculum covers adult, child, and infant resuscitation, choking intervention, and other emergency response actions.

They also cover the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and basic life support techniques, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and rescue breathing.
BLS courses are essential for anyone who wants to be able to help in a medical emergency. These courses provide individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to recognise and respond to life-threatening and medical emergencies, which can mean the difference between life and death.
Our courses are designed for healthcare professionals, such as doctors, Nurses, dentists and paramedics, as well as non-medical professionals, such as teachers, coaches, and lifeguards.
No, BLS (Basic Life Support) and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) are not the same, though they are related. CPR is a specific technique used during an emergency to maintain blood flow and breathing in a person whose heart has stopped beating or who is not breathing. It involves chest compressions and, in some cases, rescue breaths.
On the other hand, BLS is a broader term that includes CPR as one of its components. BLS encompasses a set of emergency procedures designed to provide lifesaving care, including CPR, the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and techniques to help choking victims. BLS is typically used by healthcare professionals and first responders, whereas CPR can be learned and performed by non-professionals.
With our Basic Life Support (BLS) course, you receive a BLS certificate upon successful completion. This certificate is issued by recognised organisations such as the Resuscitation Council UK and the British Red Cross. It confirms that you are trained in providing emergency care, including CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), using an automated external defibrillator (AED), and managing choking emergencies.
