BLS Training in Kenya — Basic Life Support Certification

BLS: the foundation of every resuscitation team

Basic Life Support (BLS) is the entry point for high-quality CPR, AED use, and team-based response for healthcare providers. Whether you work in a district hospital, private clinic, or national referral centre in Kenya, BLS competence is non-negotiable for safe emergency care.

Paeds Resus Limited delivers AHA-aligned BLS through the Paeds Resus platform. The AHA recommends 1 hour total contact time; learners typically spend ~1.5 hours online on self-paced cognitive modules, receive a gatepass certificate when online modules are complete, and attend a practical session for full certification.

BLS is separate from the Paeds Resus Fellowship. It is an optional, standalone AHA-aligned offering — many institutions require BLS renewal every two years regardless of fellowship progress.

BLS training in Kenya and Nairobi

Paeds Resus is based in Kenya and supports individual healthcare providers and institutional cohorts across the country. If you are searching for BLS training in Nairobi or another Kenyan county, start your enrollment online and request the next practical skills session; the confirmed date and location are shared during booking based on cohort and instructor scheduling.

The online cognitive modules allow providers to prepare around shifts and on-call rotas. Practical skills sign-off is a separate, hands-on step, so learners should not treat completion of the online modules as full certification.

BLS course price and cohort options

KES 10,000 per person; KES 7,500 per person for cohorts of 7 or more. Individual learners can start online; hospitals, clinics, and organised teams can request an institutional cohort pathway and a practical-session plan.

The published individual fee covers the Paeds Resus BLS enrollment pathway. Confirm the practical-session arrangements, certification wording, and any employer or licensing requirements before payment.

Blended learning that fits clinical schedules

Shift work and on-call rotas make multi-day classroom-only courses hard to attend. Paeds Resus lets you progress through cognitive modules when you have protected learning time, then consolidate skills in a focused hands-on session.

Providers who later pursue ACLS, PALS, or Heartsaver courses can manage all AHA-aligned enrollments from one account after signing in.

For institutions building baseline readiness

Hospital administrators can enroll entire departments, track completion, and connect training to broader paediatric emergency readiness systems through the institutional portal. Paeds Resus sponsors and subsidises BLS for selected cohorts — ask about current programmes when requesting an institutional quote.

Clinical teams should always defer to local protocols and senior clinical leadership during real emergencies.

BLS competency is the minimum expectation before nurses and doctors rotate into acute care areas. Pair enrollment with ResusGPS orientation so teams know where to find bedside checklists after the classroom session.

Certification and renewal

After cognitive modules and practical sign-off, your certificate is verifiable at www.paedsresus.com/verify. Plan renewal before the two-year validity window closes — institutions receive reminders through the admin dashboard when cohort data is linked.
