Heartsaver CPR AED: 
Not expecting 2 person rescue so there is no pulse checks
No Ambu bags (bag masks) 
Teaching child and infant are optional. When child and infant are
Taught, the certification card will say child and infant and not adult   because adult is required for an 			  
Instructor to teach the class. Here at United for Health, our CPR/AED course always included child and infant even though they are optional. 
No exams

BLS: 
Advance version of CPR/AED, usually required for certain careers.
All that stuff listed above is required including child and infant. Child and infant in BLS do not stay at 30:2; it switches to 15:2 during a 2 person rescue.
