Course Overview

The Koenig Original Basic Life Support course is a comprehensive training program designed for healthcare professionals and first responders who require essential life-saving skills. This course prepares participants for the American Heart Association (AHA) BLS Provider certification, which is widely recognized across medical institutions and emergency services. Ideal for nurses, paramedics, EMTs, and clinical staff, the program equips learners with the knowledge to respond effectively in cardiac and respiratory emergencies. With over 90% of hospitals and emergency care facilities in the U.S. requiring BLS certification for clinical personnel, this credential has become a standard benchmark for professional readiness in high-pressure medical environments.

Participants engage with critical life-support techniques using industry-standard tools and protocols, including automated external defibrillators (AEDs), bag-valve-mask (BVM) devices, and CPR manikins that provide real-time feedback on compression depth and rate. The hands-on lab component takes place in a simulated clinical environment where students practice high-quality CPR on adult, child, and infant manikins, perform one- and two-rescuer resuscitation scenarios, and demonstrate effective ventilation techniques. A key focus is mastering the BLS algorithm within the Chain of Survival, particularly early recognition, chest compressions, rapid defibrillation, and team-based response. One real-world scenario involves managing a sudden cardiac arrest in an outpatient clinic setting, requiring seamless coordination between team members to deliver timely interventions.

This course directly prepares candidates for the AHA BLS Provider certification exam, a credential trusted by healthcare employers nationwide and valid for two years. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 10–15% in clinical support roles, with strong career advancement into emergency response leadership and critical care specialties. As a Koenig Original course, it features exclusive benefits such as Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official AHA courseware, and access to expert instructors with real-world EMS experience. Upon completion, graduates are equipped not only to pass certification but to serve as confident, competent first responders capable of saving lives in both hospital and prehospital settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the BLS Train-the-Trainer: CPR, AED & Choking training course

Is the Basic Life Support certification exam included in the course fee, and what is the cost if separate?
The Basic Life Support certification exam is not included in your Koenig Solutions course fee. You must purchase it separately through official vendors like the American Heart Association (AHA). The AHA BLS exam fee typically ranges from $50 to $80 for the full classroom course. This fee covers both the cognitive exam and the mandatory hands-on skills assessment. Koenig delivers expert training aligned with these rigorous standards but does not administer the vendor-specific exam fee directly.
What training formats are available for the Basic Life Support course, and is Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling offered?
Koenig Solutions provides Basic Life Support training via live online, classroom, 1-on-1, and self-paced Flexi formats. Every format is backed by our Guaranteed-to-Run (GTR) scheduling policy. GTR ensures your course proceeds as planned regardless of enrollment numbers, allowing for reliable career planning. You can select flexible virtual sessions, in-person classes at global centers, personalized 1-on-1 coaching, or self-directed learning modules that include recorded content and practical labs.
How long is lab access provided, and what type of lab environment is used for Basic Life Support training?
Koenig provides 30 days of lab access for Basic Life Support training through cloud-based sandbox environments or the LET Platform. These environments simulate real-world emergency scenarios. The labs replicate professional resuscitation settings using interactive simulations, virtual CPR manikins, and AED trainers. This setup enables you to master high-quality chest compressions, ventilation techniques, and team dynamics without the need for physical equipment setup at your location.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the Basic Life Support course?
Koenig allows free rescheduling of your Basic Life Support course if you provide notice more than 10 days before the start date. Rescheduling or cancellations within 10 days incur a 50% fee of the total course price. You may reschedule the same session only once. All changes require written notice. Our Guaranteed-to-Run batches ensure that alternative dates remain available to keep your professional development on track.
What is the format, number of questions, passing score, and time limit for the Basic Life Support certification exam?
The Basic Life Support certification exam follows American Heart Association standards, featuring 25 multiple-choice questions. You have a 60-minute time limit, though most students finish within 20–30 minutes. A passing score of 84% (21 out of 25 correct) is required for certification. The exam rigorously tests your knowledge of cardiac arrest recognition, CPR techniques, AED usage, airway management, and effective team coordination during emergency resuscitation scenarios.
How long is the Basic Life Support certification valid, and what is the renewal process and cost?
Your Basic Life Support certification remains valid for two years from the date of successful completion. Renewal requires retaking the full BLS Provider course, which includes both the cognitive exam and the hands-on skills evaluation. This process typically costs $50–$80. There is no lifetime validity; you must renew before your current certification expires to maintain compliance with healthcare credentialing requirements and stay ready for clinical emergencies.
What post-training support does Koenig provide after completing the Basic Life Support course?
After completing your Basic Life Support course, Koenig provides 30 days of dedicated post-training support. This includes access to session recordings, expert mentor guidance, and comprehensive downloadable materials. You also benefit from our Happiness Guarantee, which allows for a free retake under specific conditions. Additionally, you gain entry into our global professional community, providing ongoing knowledge exchange and valuable resources to support your long-term career development.
Are there any prerequisites or experience requirements to enroll in the Basic Life Support course?
There are no formal prerequisites for enrolling in the Basic Life Support course at Koenig Solutions. However, you must be at least 14 years old and physically capable of performing CPR on the floor, including executing effective chest compressions and rescue breathing. We recommend a basic understanding of English to ensure you can fully comprehend the course materials and successfully pass the required certification assessments.
What is the average salary impact or job opportunity after obtaining Basic Life Support certification?
Basic Life Support certification significantly boosts your employability for roles like EMTs, CNAs, nurses, and school staff. Certified professionals often earn between $33,500 and $93,000 annually. According to PayScale, the average base salary for BLS-certified individuals is $86,000. Obtaining this credential demonstrates your commitment to emergency response competency, making you a more competitive candidate for high-demand clinical positions that require life-saving skills.
How does Koenig's Basic Life Support training compare to self-study options?
Koenig’s Basic Life Support training provides structured, instructor-led learning that includes real-time feedback and hands-on lab practice. Unlike self-study programs that rely only on videos, our approach ensures guaranteed exam readiness. With 30-day lab access, recorded sessions, and expert mentor support, Koenig delivers higher retention rates and greater confidence. Our training validates your practical skills, ensuring you are fully prepared for real-world scenarios compared to unguided online-only courses.
