You don't just work in a clinic; you lead a healthcare environment. When a medical emergency happens in the chair, "knowing the steps" isn't enough—you need muscle memory. Our BCCOHP-compliant Basic Life Support (BLS) course is designed specifically for the dental team.

​

What Sets Us Apart:

• Contextual Scenarios: We practice where you work. From syncope to cardiac arrest, we simulate emergencies in a dental setting.

• Rapid Response Tech: Hands-on training with the latest AED and BVM (Bag Valve Mask) techniques.

• Streamlined Certification: Efficient, evidence-based learning that respects your professional time.

​

We strip away the fluff and focus on high-performance CPR, airway management, and AED integration tailored to the dental operatory.

• BCCOHP Standards: Fully aligned with current CE requirements.

• ILCOR Driven: The latest science in resuscitation.

• Team-Centric: Training that recognizes the unique roles of RDHs, CDAs, and Dentists.

Don’t just stay compliant. Stay ready.

What you will receive: 

• A BLS HCP Certificate Valid for 1 yr.

• Confidence to lead your teams through unexpected dental emergencies.

• The Dental BLS course can be combined with Mock Code Drills (BCCOHP compliant for all levels of sedation), making compliance easier.
