Below is the AHA’s description for the new Advisor: BLS program.
The Advisor: BLS course materials and completion cards were developed to accommodate students who pass the cognitive portion of the HeartCode® BLS Provider Course but cannot perform the physical skills of CPR. By successfully advising others how to perform CPR and use an AED, HeartCode BLS students with disabilities can receive an Advisor: BLS card. Students should check to make sure that their workplaces will accept these cards. Advisor: BLS cards are available exclusively to authorized TCs for issuance in accordance with AHA policy.
Instructors can learn more about the Advisor: BLS program on the AHA Instructor Network, under the BLS HeartCode section.
