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.

Basic Life Support
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Joy Ann4 years agoI registered same week and got my money's worth. It was worth the trip. Excellent teaching methods. Loved our instructor. She allows you to make mistakes and do not pressure you. She also grouped us in the second group work. She allowed us to work as a team. Loved my classmates too and my group mates. I was the least experienced in this kind of training but because of them, I had a great time learning the lesson and learning from my mistakes. Loved our group. Thanks for the encouragement and great teamwork!

I liked it!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Angie1274 years agoI’m a first timer so I have nothing to compare it too. But I did feel well prepared as a first timer because of all the emphasis on and repetition of the important parts. It helped cement it in my brain. I’d say it just needs a little more of the physical practicing. I am a particularly small person and could’ve used more practice pressing down so hard.

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.

bridge program
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.RM3652 weeks agoI completed a bridge program for BLS. A very simple but methodical process.

Great class but lengthy for a bridge
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.MissK3 months agoI actually thought the content was very thorough. The videos were helpful, the way they demonstrated different instructional concepts. I also thought the videos where you had to pick out what the student was doing wrong in the skills checks were great. The one criticism I would have is that I feel like it could be shorter for a bridge. By definition these are people who are already instructors with another agency and have aleady taken an instructor course and likely are teaching. The ... content is excellent and I think for a brand new instructor it would be excellent.

Great Course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.SAJW4 days agoThe teacher was fantastic and the class was fast paced and so informative. I recommend this course to all. I would like to see a book to go alone with the course so you could highlight and take side notes.

Good course, easy enough to get through. When doing individual practice maybe would have been better if all of us had a body . There was only 5 of us I'm sure she had that many bodies with and aeds. Then we could have individually practiced all of it and been more prepared when did group practice

Great experience
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Obi Wan Cabroni1 month agoI recently completed a Basic Life Support (BLS) class and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and presented the material in a way that was both clear and engaging. They used real-life examples that helped me understand the importance of each step in the process. The online courses were also incredibly helpful – they were easy to follow, very informative, and gave me a solid foundation before attending the in-person session. After ... completing this course, I now feel confident and prepared to perform CPR in an emergency. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to gain essential life-saving skills!
