The updated Basic Life Support (BLS) program from the Red Cross supports emergency response and patient care and is taken by millions across healthcare organizations, EMS agencies and the Military Training Network. This evidence-based course builds critical skills through scenario-based training and covers CPR, AED use and breathing emergencies for adults, children and infants. The course offers certification and may be eligible for Continuing Education (CE) credit.
BLS training is available in multiple formats, giving you the flexibility to complete certification in a way that fits your needs.
The American Red Cross offers BLS training for individuals and teams, and courses that are held entirely in person, or through our blended Simulation Learning experience, which combines online classwork with in-person skills sessions. This way, you can learn on your schedule - and in the way that suits you best. Regardless of which type of course you choose, you'll receive instruction from world-class professionals, as well as science-based information that includes the latest protocols, so you can deliver care to those in need and help improve patient outcomes.
For BLS providers, when emergencies arise, it's your job to be able to provide care to whomever is in need. That's why Red Cross BLS classes cover best practices for delivering care to infants, children and adults. And because skills can be lost if they're not used regularly, we also offer refresher materials and a printout of some basic BLS steps that can help you stay sharp between calls.
I was very nervous when coming to this class at first. Lexi was great instructor. She was very clear, knowledgeable, honest. I am happy I purchased this class and passed so now I have my certification. There is so much information on the website and also on the in-person class. I wish the class in person was a little bit longer to get more time to practice AND going thru all the rules. Keeping few students per session is good as well.

The instructor was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and helped me feel confident in my skills by the end of class.
