This course provides the basic knowledge and skills needed to deliver Basic Life Support (BLS) care and is required to progress to more advanced levels of prehospital patient care. The course requires a minimum of 144 hours of classroom and skills instruction and 10 hours of Clinical/Field rotations for a total of 154 hours of training. Virginia certification requires successful completion of a standardized cognitive and psychomotor skills examination. This course is designed to train individuals to serve as a vital link in the chain of the health care team.

Upon successfully completion of the training program, the student will be capable of performing the following functions: (1) Recognize the nature and seriousness of the patient’s condition or extent of injury to assess requirements for emergency care. (2) Administer appropriate emergency care to stabilize the patient’s condition. (3) Lift, move, position and otherwise handle the patient in a way as to minimize discomfort and further injury.
