## What is the AHA BLS exam?

American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider training certifies healthcare providers in high-quality CPR, AED use, choking relief, and team resuscitation for adults, children, and infants. A current BLS Provider card is a common job requirement in hospitals, EMS, and clinics. The 2025 AHA/AAP update dropped two-finger infant compressions (heel of 1 hand or 2 thumb–encircling hands) and uses cycles of 5 back blows then 5 abdominal thrusts for severe adult/child choking. This UniPrep2Go page is independent cognitive practice — it does not issue an AHA course card.
