Taking a BLS Class

Basic Life Support Training
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.

Providing BLS Care
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.

Quick, informative, and fun!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Alex21823 years agoMy instructor Christopher was great. He figured out what everyone’s levels of knowledge were and helped everyone individually improve their skills. I am happy to take this class and stay up to date on the new techniques since my last course. He was also very helpful over email when I had a question. I did 1/2 online 1/2 in person. I liked doing the lecture part online because I think I paid better attention to everything. Overall I would definitely recommend this course! They also provide a AHA ... tester if you need both (it costs extra).

Great Class
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.NMS20253 weeks agoThe instructor was great and very knowledgeable. I appreciate that she truly made participants practice the skills and the training mannequins were different from others I've worked with. Very cool. Although a real person won't light up, I think it was good feedback for people who don't know how to compress properly.

BLS Education and Training
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.SNM13 weeks agoIt was time for me to renew my BLS Certification, so I contacted The Amercian Red Cross to enroll in a class. The instructor that was assigned to our class was absolutely outstanding. He was meticulous in explaining the "why's and what for's" in every aspect of this course as well as continual reinforcement of the principles. He was an expert in engaging with the class, assessing the individual abilities of the students and then coaching them to ultimate success. In short, a master educator and ... trainer! This was a fantastic class!

Hybrid Online/In-Person Healthcare BLS
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Hybrid2 weeks agoI thought the CPR class was well-organized and informative overall. The instructors were knowledgeable and did a great job demonstrating the hands-on skills. However, I felt that the in-person portion was a bit too long, especially since we had already completed the online class and covered all the material there. It would have been more efficient if the in-person session focused mainly on practicing and demonstrating the hands-on skills rather than re-reviewing everything we had already learned online.

Great information!
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Peterf875 years agoAs a previous Red Cross instructor, I was very pleased with the instructor and the class especially since this was during Covid-19 and we were staying 6 feet apart.

Shawna was great
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.TomLa4 years agoIn today's COVID environment, holding in person training is difficult. Shawna managed to put it together wonderfully and in a way it was easy to follow and understand. She's a great instructor.
