BLS CERTIFICATION BOULDER

Need BLS certification in Boulder? CPR-Professionals offers regularly scheduled BLS Provider courses at the Boulder Rural Fire Protection District station on Lookout Road. Our partnership with BRFPD provides a unique training environment — you'll learn life-saving skills in the same facility used daily by professional first responders.

The BLS Provider course is the gold standard for healthcare professionals, and it's increasingly required for roles beyond traditional medicine. Athletic trainers, physical therapy aides, dental office staff, veterinary technicians, and university students all benefit from BLS certification. In Boulder's health-conscious community, being BLS-certified demonstrates professionalism and preparedness.

Our 3.5-hour instructor-led class covers the complete 2025 AHA BLS curriculum. You'll practice high-quality CPR on adult, child, and infant mannequins, learn to operate an AED confidently, and develop the team communication skills needed during real emergencies. Compression rate: 100–120 per minute. Depth: at least 2 inches but no more than 2.4 inches. Full chest recoil between every compression.

Your 2-year AHA eCard is issued upon successful completion — same day, no delays. The $75 flat rate covers everything except the BLS Provider Manual eBook, which is a required pre-class purchase through the AHA's online store.
