Emergency First Aid & Basic Life Support (BLS)

About Course

The Emergency First Aid & Basic Life Support (BLS) course provides essential knowledge and practical skills needed to respond effectively to medical emergencies before professional healthcare arrives.

In many humanitarian and community settings, immediate medical assistance may not be available. First responders—including humanitarian workers, volunteers, teachers, and community members—must be prepared to provide life-saving interventions.

This course covers essential emergency response principles, scene safety, patient assessment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), choking response, bleeding control, shock management, and stabilization techniques for injured individuals.

Upon successful completion, learners will receive a Professional Certificate of Completion from ReliefScholars.
