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 had a great experience with the American Red Cross BLS training course. From start to finish, the program was well-organized, thorough, and very hands-on. The instructors were knowledgeable, professional, and truly cared about making sure each student understood the material. The training included a perfect balance of videos, discussion, and practical skills practice, which helped build confidence in responding to real-life emergencies. I especially appreciated how the instructors took the ... time to answer questions, correct techniques in a supportive way, and ensure everyone felt comfortable with CPR, AED use, and team-based response scenarios. The course was not only educational but empowering. I left feeling prepared and capable of performing life-saving skills in high-pressure situations. I highly recommend the American Red Cross BLS training to anyone in healthcare or any profession where quick action can save lives. Thank you, American Red Cross, for such a meaningful and rewarding learning experience!

Worth every penny

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.

Quick, informative, and fun!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Alex21824 years agoMy instructor Christopher was great. He figured out what everyone’s levels of knowledge were and helped everyone individually improve their skills. I am happy to take this class and stay up to date on the new techniques since my last course. He was also very helpful over email when I had a question. I did 1/2 online 1/2 in person. I liked doing the lecture part online because I think I paid better attention to everything. Overall I would definitely recommend this course! They also provide a AHA ... tester if you need both (it costs extra).

Excelllent Instructor
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JBerglund6 years agoI took the BLS instructor course last week and could not be more impressed with the instructor. I have been BLS (or equivalent) certified for at least 12 years and this course put together my previous experience and knowledge and made me very comfortable to teach it in the future.
