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).

Good Quality but Unnecessarily Long
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.VaEMT3 years agoThe course was good quality and the instructor was thorough, but the slides and videos during the in-person portion took longer than I believe that they should've. I may have just been impatient because I've taken the course before and I was only recertifying, so take my review with a grain of salt. Even with that accounted for, I still think that the information in the slides could have been condensed down into a more efficient presentation. Otherwise, it was a good course with a decent ... amount of hands-on work with adult/infant dummies. The instructor was very polite and I believe that she is competent in the subject matter.

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.

STNA,CPCT,TRAUMA LVL 1 EMT PARAMEDIC
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.RHO RHO4 weeks agoPersonal Statement – BLS Course Experience Taking the BLS course with Ms. Tracy was an absolute game-changer. Standing just 4’9”, she is a true powerhouse—bursting with energy, knowledge, and real-life insight. Ms. Tracy didn’t just teach the material—she broke it down, went in depth, and made sure we all understood every scenario and skill. She created an environment where we all felt comfortable asking questions, practicing hands-on, and truly learning. I now feel confident that if an ... emergency ever happened—God forbid—I could step in and save a life. That confidence came directly from Ms. Tracy’s teaching. Because of her, I was inspired to take the instructor portion of the course, and I now have a strong desire to teach EMT and BLS classes myself. Ms. Tracy, you are the bomb! I would take any course with you again—no hesitation. You rock!
