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.

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.
