For health professionals and aspiring caregivers, the need for quality, accessible training is especially significant. That’s where we come in. At United Medical Education, we’ve made it our mission to provide comprehensive, easy-to-navigate Basic Life Support (BLS) online courses.
From the comfort of your home, you can now access our BLS training courses, prepare with our practice exams, and even complete the final certification process online. But how do you access these resources? This guide walks you through the process.
Step 1: Create a Free Student Account
Your journey with United Medical Education begins with creating a free student account. This account is your gateway to all our BLS training materials. You can create this account directly on our website. It’s a straightforward process.
Step 2: Access the Student Dashboard
Once your account is set up, you gain access to the student dashboard. This dashboard is a hub for all your learning resources. Here, you’ll find the training materials, practice exams, and a variety of educational infographics.
Our BLS training materials are comprehensive, covering a wide array of topics required for certification. These materials provide an in-depth understanding of BLS, making them the perfect starting point for your training.
Step 3: Take Advantage of Free BLS Training
With your student account, you have free access to our BLS training. These online courses are tailored to be self-paced, allowing you to progress through the material at a speed that suits you. Each course is segmented into modules, making the learning process manageable and organized.
Step 4: Review with Practice Exams
Practice exams are an invaluable tool for your final exam preparation. They familiarize you with the exam format and can help identify any areas that need further study. At United Medical Education, we provide these practice exams free of charge, offering you the opportunity to test your understanding and readiness for the final exam.
Step 5: Make Use of Educational Infographics
Visual learning aids are powerful tools in understanding complex concepts, and our educational infographics do just that. Accessible from the student dashboard, these infographics present information in an engaging and easy-to-understand format, supporting your understanding of the course material.
Step 6: Complete the Online Training and Purchase Access to the Final Exam
After completing the online training, the next step is to purchase access to the final exam. This exam assesses your understanding of BLS, testing the knowledge and skills you’ve gained from the course. Upon passing the exam, you’re issued a provider card and certificate, signifying your successful completion of the course and your readiness to provide basic life support.
At United Medical Education, our commitment is to you, your education, and your success in certification. Our online courses are designed to be accessible and comprehensive, ensuring you’re well-equipped for your educational journey. You have the power to save a life in your hands, and our mission is to make sure you’re ready for it.
Taking Pride in Helping Our Community
My friend Amanda, an experienced nurse, once shared with me how she appreciated the flexibility that we offer here at United Medical Education. Because she has such an unpredictable nursing schedule, finding time for training was tricky. But being able to access the material at any time, day or night, was a game-changer for her. And that’s really why we built these courses to be so flexible. She fondly recalls completing a study module at 2 AM during some down time on her night shift, which would have been impossible with traditional in-person classes.
How Do I Renew My BLS?
Renewing your BLS certification with United Medical Education is a simple process. Once you’ve created a free student account, navigate to your student dashboard and purchase access to the final exam for BLS recertification. After reviewing the training material and completing the practice tests, you’re ready to take the final exam. Successful completion renews your BLS certification.
How Long is BLS Certification Good For?
BLS certification is typically valid for two years. However, it’s recommended that you stay up-to-date with your training to maintain your skills and knowledge. At United Medical Education, we provide a range of resources to help you keep your skills and abilities sharp.
Is BLS the Same as CPR?
While BLS does include CPR, they’re not the same. BLS, or Basic Life Support, is a broader certification that includes CPR techniques, automated external defibrillator (AED) use, and other life-saving techniques. BLS is often required for healthcare professionals, while CPR certification is typically enough for non-medical individuals.
How Often Do You Need to Do BLS Training?
BLS certification needs to be renewed every two years, which means you’ll need to undergo training again for recertification. This is to ensure that your knowledge and skills are up-to-date, as guidelines and procedures can change over time.
Is It Possible to Fail BLS?
Yes, it’s possible to fail the BLS certification exam if you do not achieve a passing score. However, at United Medical Education, we provide unlimited retake exams. We also provide a wealth of resources, including free training materials and practice exams, to ensure you’re well-prepared for the final exam. Our primary goal is your success in certification.
