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.

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 Course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.SAJW2 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.

Learned CPR at My Own Pace – Great Experience!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.LVDO1 week 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!

Couldn't have gone better
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JCarlin5 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.
