BLS Certification for Healthcare Providers in Hamilton
The Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers course is the gold standard CPR certification for regulated healthcare professionals in Ontario. Because it is delivered by certified Canadian Red Cross instructors at our Hamilton training centre, this 4-hour hands-on session equips you with the skills and confidence to respond effectively in clinical and pre-hospital emergencies. Moreover, every scenario is built around real clinical situations, so you practise exactly what you will face on the job.
Whether you are a nurse renewing your annual certification, a paramedic meeting WSIB requirements, or a dentist maintaining licensure, this course covers every critical BLS skill — for example, high-quality adult, child, and infant CPR, AED use, airway management, and team-based resuscitation dynamics.
As a result, upon successful completion you receive a 1-year digital Red Cross BLS certificate. In addition, a temporary certificate is issued on the same day, while the official digital Red Cross certificate is emailed within 7 business days.
