It is important to note that many employers use the Heart and Stroke training modules for CPR and BLS. If a regulated member’s certificate of completion has the Heart and Stroke Foundation branding/logo, the correlated CE course can be claimed for credits.
Is CPR or BLS training required for registration and/or renewal?
The College received many questions this past renewal about if CPR or BLS training was a requirement for renewal. The College does not require CPR or BLS training as a registration or renewal requirement. However, most employers require valid certification for continued employment.
