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.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.

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 certification
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.yevgeniyaa2 weeks agoI had a pretty good experience, however I feel like the online portion and in class portion was somewhat the same so it felt a little bit repetitive. Alex is an amazing instructor and provided us with a lot of valuable information. He is very thorough and his practical session was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend him as an instructor to all my peers.

Couldn't have gone better
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JCarlin1 month 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.

STNA,CPCT,TRAUMA LVL 1 EMT PARAMEDIC
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.RHO RHO4 weeks agoPersonal Statement – BLS Course Experience Taking the BLS course with Ms. Tracy was an absolute game-changer. Standing just 4’9”, she is a true powerhouse—bursting with energy, knowledge, and real-life insight. Ms. Tracy didn’t just teach the material—she broke it down, went in depth, and made sure we all understood every scenario and skill. She created an environment where we all felt comfortable asking questions, practicing hands-on, and truly learning. I now feel confident that if an ... emergency ever happened—God forbid—I could step in and save a life. That confidence came directly from Ms. Tracy’s teaching. Because of her, I was inspired to take the instructor portion of the course, and I now have a strong desire to teach EMT and BLS classes myself. Ms. Tracy, you are the bomb! I would take any course with you again—no hesitation. You rock!

First rate
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.RoxD4 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”.
