Standards

The Board of Certified Emergency Providers (BCEP) is committed to developing emergency preparedness and life-saving training programs based upon current scientific evidence, recognized best practices, and internationally accepted resuscitation guidelines.

Our Commitment

Science-Driven. Evidence-Based.

BCEP training programs are regularly reviewed and updated to help ensure that course content reflects the latest developments in emergency care and preparedness.

BCEP is committed to providing training that is based upon scientific evidence rather than tradition, opinion, or outdated practices. Training materials are reviewed and updated as new research, consensus recommendations, and emergency response guidelines become available.

ILCOR Alignment

BCEP emergency response training programs are developed using the consensus recommendations published by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).

ILCOR serves as a leading international organization for evaluating resuscitation science and developing evidence-based recommendations for CPR, emergency cardiovascular care, and life-saving interventions.
