The BLS Renewal Prerequisite Challenge is designed to ensure the provider has the baseline knowledge to attend the BLS renewal course when they do not have a current Heart & Stroke BLS completion card.
You are eligible to take the BLS Prerequisite Challenge if you are a BLS provider who has:
* A BLS or “healthcare provider (HCP)” completion card from another agency
* An expired Heart & Stroke BLS Provider course completion card
* Not taken a recent (within the past 12 months) BLS course, but you are confident in your BLS skills through regular use in your work in the ED, CCU, ICU on code team, or as a paramedic
* A current Heart & Stroke BLS Provider completion card but are uncertain of your proficiency level and wish to assess your knowledge.
Once you have successfully completed the BLS Renewal Prerequisite Challenge, you will be able to print your certificate. You will also receive a PDF copy of your certificate via email. Please bring a printed or electronic copy of your Completion Certificate to your BLS Provider Renewal course. Some Instructors may ask you to email them your certificate prior to the day of class.GO TO: https://resuscitation.heartandstroke.ca/resources/other/bls_training
