Getting your BLS certification doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. The cost can be as low as $14.95, and payment is only collected after passing the exam. There are no hidden fees.
The exam itself includes 12 questions, and you’ll need a score of 70% or higher to pass. If needed, you can retake the test as many times as necessary at no additional cost until you succeed. After passing, graduates immediately receive a temporary wallet card, followed by a permanent card in the mail.
For those seeking BLS recertification, participants can choose to skip directly to the exam if they are already certified, saving time while still meeting AHA renewal requirements.
Adventure Medics’ BLS healthcare provider courses are tailored for nurses, physicians, EMTs, and other healthcare providers who must know how to perform CPR and respond to common medical emergencies.
