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 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.

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!

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.

Couldn't have gone better
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JCarlin6 days 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.

Great Course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.SAJW3 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.

CPR healthcare
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Erin Elizabeth2 weeks agoThe class was efficient, teacher was nice and clear on expectations. My only complaint is when it was test taking time, the first of the students who finished the test were allowed to talked loudly among themselves and with the instructor making it hard to concentrate on the test for those if us still taking it. Hopefully in the future the instructor can be more conscious of that.
