Basic Life Support Courses - March 23, 2024
Dear Students and Faculty/Staff: The CPR Leadership Team at Saint Joseph’s University will be offering Basic Life Support (BLS) courses on Saturday, March 23 (Session 1: 8:00am-11:30am; Session 2: 11:30am-3:00pm; Session 3: 3:00pm-6:00pm) in IPEX 3rd Floor on campus.
The training offered by the CPR Leadership Team at Saint Joseph's University is American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS). This course is intended for students and faculty/staff who want to learn life-saving skills, especially those who need to document their completion of the CPR requirement or with certification expiring this semester. The session lasts ~3.5 hours. Please bring a pen - there will be a written exam. Please wear comfortable clothing. Capacity is limited. Basic Life Support certification is valid for 2 years.
Please note that the fee for the on campus CPR Leadership Team offering is significantly less than what you will pay if you take it outside the University community. With our volunteer instructors (CPR Leadership Team), we are able to offer the course for only $30 to cover the costs of certification cards and supplies. If you take this class in the community, prices are typically higher (~$65-95).
