BLS Practice Test for Training and Renewal

A BLS practice test can be useful before initial BLS training or when reviewing knowledge before BLS renewal. If your BLS certification is expiring, use the practice questions to refresh your knowledge of CPR, AED use, rescue breathing, and team response before completing your required renewal course or assessment.

You can also use this test to prepare for BLS recertification or as a quick review after studying your BLS training materials. Repeated practice can help you identify topics that you may want to review again before your BLS assessment.

How is BLS different from standard CPR?
BLS (Basic Life Support) is the healthcare-provider level of CPR training. It covers 2-rescuer CPR, BVM usage, advanced airway techniques, and pediatric protocols — designed for nurses, doctors, EMTs, and other clinical staff.
How long does it take to complete the test?
Most people complete it in 10–15 minutes. There is no timer — take as long as you need to read carefully and review your answers.
Which employers accept this BLS certification?
Our BLS certification is accepted by hospitals, nursing homes, dental offices, outpatient clinics, and most healthcare employers nationwide. It aligns with AHA/ECC 2025 guidelines.
Is this an American Heart Association BLS practice test?
No. CPR Select is a separate training provider and is not an American Heart Association training center. The practice test is designed to help you review common BLS concepts and is not an official AHA examination or certification test.
