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.

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.

Good Quality but Unnecessarily Long
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.VaEMT3 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.

Don't be intimidated, this is a fun course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.RedcrossBLS12 weeks agoI was intimidated because this was my first BLS for healthcare providers course. But the online portion was helpful with video examples of how to correctly give aid. The in-person part was the most intimidating - I was quite scared but my classmates were friendly and the instructor was knowledgeable and very welcoming. The class turned out to be fun, not scary.

Learned CPR at My Own Pace – Great Experience!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.LVDO1 month agoI had a great experience with this CPR course. It was really convenient to read all the information and take the test online from home. Then, going into the classroom afterward for a quick review and hands-on practice made everything come together. The registration process was super easy too. Highly recommend if you're looking for a flexible and effective way to get certified!

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.

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

First rate
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.RoxD2 weeks agoRecommend this class highly to anyone who is looking for a BLS class. This is a nonsense class where you will actually learn, hands-on skills rather than quickly floating through each lesson just to “pass”.
