CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating.  Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

Get Certified.  You could save someone’s life! 

The Basic Life Support (BLS) Course is a video-based, Instructor-led course that teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life support. This course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED.  BLS teaches skills using the American Heart Association’s proven Practice-While-Watching technique, which allows Instructors to observe students, provide feedback and guide students’ acquisition of skills.

To schedule training please contact the Safety Office by email: safety@uncp.edu. 

Note: Training classes are free, limited to eight students per class, and are offered on a first come first serve basis for faculty, staff and (student worker's that their job requires it).
