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.

Great information very informative!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Anonymous5 years agoI had a great experience and actually retained more of the information than previous years because of how the instructor taught it. He made learning fun and was 100% real with the information he was presenting. His passion for the training truly shows and this will forever be a memorable one! Thanks again!

Couldn't have gone better
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JCarlin2 weeks agoThe process of selecting a date, time and location for the clinical portion of the class was very straight forward. It was easy to complete the online learning portion in my spare time. Everything I completed was saved automatically and I was able to pick up where I left off every time I logged back in. The clinical portion was concise, well organized, and provided an excellent review of the material. The instructor was kind, intelligent, and tailored the class to the needs of the ... participants. The mannequins utilized were clean, ample in number, and technologically superior to anything I have used in the past 25 years.

Engageable.
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Cel A1 month agoExcellent. This course is practical, highly interactive, and engaging. I highly recommend it to those looking to improve their skills. Based on my experience, if you're taking the hybrid course, dedicate at least half a day to each level. Also, if you're renewing your CPR credential, I recommend upgrading to BLS/CPR. Customer service at +1 (833) 507-2460 will be very helpful in guiding you on the most convenient option.

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.

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 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.

1st time CPR Course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Hazeleyez3 weeks agoThis was my 1st CPR class. The instructor was very informative although he ran into technical difficulties while teaching the course. It wasn't his fault, the computers. Lol He remained calm and apologized for the disruption. The instructor was very compassionate in the class and what he was teaching us. Very knowledgeable and made sure the class stayed the course and demonstrated everything correctly.
