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.

BLS Education and Training
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.SNM12 months 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!

BLS class
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Billiee1 month agoI recently took the BLS class as I needed it for nursing school and it went well beyond my expectations. Etty (sorry for the spelling, definitely not how he spells his name) was amazing. He was funny and his positive uplifting attitude made it easier to learn. I would recommend this class to everyone and I will be returning when it is time to renew my BLS.

My instructor was THEEBOMB.COM!!!!! From the moment we introduced ourselves he was very engaged to learn about us and what we do. He quizzed us as we demonstrated our skills and still kept us engaged during the lesson. I feel his training gave me the knowledge and confidence to be able to save someone’s life…thank you.

Thorough, Enthusiastic Instruction
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Eddie V4 weeks agoI was very pleased with my Basic Life Support training. The facilitator Amy was detail oriented and thoughtful in her instruction. She emphasized the importance of following each step when helping someone, and she made our groups restart the process during the simulated intervention portions of the seminar if we happened to miss something. Her ability to interweave between the Red Cross presentation and the hands-on exercises was excellent.

BLS Class
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Hailey C4 years agoThe in-person class was the best part about the course. Keith Lorenz is not only knowledgeable and friendly - he gave us real life examples, experiences of his that made the problem-solving and critical thinking portion of our demonstrations understandable. You can also tell when someone is passionate about their work and their teaching. Keith exemplifies this. I can't say enough about Keith - I have taken many CPR courses over the years, but didn't feel as confident about it as I do now. Thank you.

Quick, informative, and fun!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Alex21824 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).

Excelllent Instructor
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JBerglund6 years agoI took the BLS instructor course last week and could not be more impressed with the instructor. I have been BLS (or equivalent) certified for at least 12 years and this course put together my previous experience and knowledge and made me very comfortable to teach it in the future.
