Can I take the renewal class?

Book renewal if your current AHA BLS card has not expired. If it has expired, book the first-time BLS class instead. Some employers accept renewal shortly after expiry; check their rule first.

What the renewal class covers

The same skills as the first-time course: adult, child and infant CPR, AED use, bag-mask breaths and two-rescuer CPR, with a skills test at the end.
