BLS VS ACLS
Both have the same objective - learning the proper techniques in saving the life of someone in cardiac arrest.
BLS is intended for medical professionals and laypersons - learning the basic principles of CPR, AED usage and other primary methods of lifesaving skills. BLS is often performed in out-of-hospital situations.
ACLS is designed for healthcare professionals.
It is common for ACLS participants to have completed a BLS Certification prior to beginning their ACLS course.
AT THIS STAGE WE DO NOT CONDUCT ACLS COURSE.
