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.

Good Quality but Unnecessarily Long
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.VaEMT4 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.

Very informative. Best class I have taken so far.
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.muziani54 years agoI took the BLS class in Princeton NJ. It was the best class I have taken so far and I have been in a couple different classes that were not with the American Red Cross. I definitely will continue to recertify with the American Red Cross. I learned so much more and my instructor was great. He really took the time to go over everything and made sure everyone was doing things properly and explained something if someone needed it.

BLS CPR course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Pacinurse2 weeks agoGreat class aligning the CPR concepts and reinforcing the chain of survival. My only criticism is I would have appreciated recieving a participants manual. The instructor lead skills portion was the best part of the course. Our instructor was tuned into the participants strengths and weaknesses and took the time to ensure all questions were answered. Also finding the Dedham facility was difficult because GPS brings you to the warehouse address instead of the main building further down the road. ... Concider putting a sign at the warehouse driveway; If here for CPR etc continue 1/4 mile down main road...

Positive Experience Despite the Reviews
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Anonymous1 week agoI’m not sure if my instructor is the same person mentioned in the negative reviews, but I had a good experience overall. He was very accommodating and informative. I’m a person of color, and so is another student in the class. There was a bit of a language barrier, but he really tried his best to help. Some people probably thought he's mean because he has a loud voice while telling us what to do, but to me, that actually helped me stay focused, especially since I’m a bit hard of hearing. He made ... sure that we knew what we were doing and deserving of the certification.

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!

Very Engaging + Informative
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.cnastudent1 month agoI have been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for nearly 3.5 years now in long-term care, but looking to move into the hospital setting often requires a BLS certification. I was able to book this class, then take both the learning and demonstrative portions in-person in the same day. The instructor made things interesting and didn't make the class feel super daunting and strung out. The group demonstrations were engaging as it helped gain a better sense of what things are like in a ... real-life emergency. I would absolutely recommend.
