American Heart Association® BLS CPR Classes are designed for healthcare professionals and first responders who need high-quality, hands-on life-saving training. Our courses follow the latest AHA guidelines and focus on real-world skills you can confidently apply in emergency situations. Whether you’re a nurse, doctor, EMT, dental professional, or part of a clinical team, our BLS CPR certification ensures you meet workplace and regulatory requirements.

Who Should Take CPR BLS Classes?

CPR BLS Classes are intended for anyone whose professional duties may involve responding to life-threatening emergencies. Typical participants include:

  • Nurses, physicians, and hospital staff
  • EMTs, paramedics, and first responders
  • Dental and oral healthcare teams
  • Medical assistants, clinical technicians, and allied health staff
  • Home healthcare providers and caregivers
  • Public safety professionals, including police officers and firefighters

These classes are often required by employers, licensing boards, and healthcare organizations for both initial training and recertification.

What You Will Learn in CPR BLS Classes

CPR BLS Classes focus on the core life-saving skills essential to responding effectively to cardiac and respiratory emergencies. Participants gain both knowledge and hands-on experience in:

  • High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, emphasizing proper compression depth, rate, and recoil
  • Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use, including safe application and shock administration
  • Airway management and techniques for relieving choking or obstructed airways
  • Team-based resuscitation, including role clarity, effective communication, and coordination
  • Recognition and response to cardiac arrest, respiratory emergencies, and opioid overdoses
  • Critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving under pressure
  • Safety precautions, legal responsibilities, and professional standards

Hands-on practice, scenario-based learning, and instructor guidance ensure participants are confident and competent in applying CPR skills in real-life emergencies.

Training Formats for CPR BLS Classes

Safety Training Seminars offers flexible training formats to accommodate different schedules while maintaining AHA compliance:

In-Person CPR BLS Classes

Instructor-led classroom sessions combine lectures with hands-on skills practice. This format is ideal for participants who prefer a traditional learning environment with real-time feedback from certified instructors.

Blended Learning CPR BLS Classes

Blended learning combines self-paced online instruction with a required in-person skills session, allowing participants to learn theory on their own schedule while still demonstrating practical CPR and BLS skills under instructor supervision.

Both formats result in official AHA BLS certification and prepare participants to respond effectively in clinical or emergency scenarios.

Certification for CPR BLS Classes

Upon successful completion of CPR BLS Classes, participants receive an official AHA BLS Provider eCard, which is:

  • Issued immediately or same day, depending on course completion
  • Valid for two (2) years
  • Recognized nationwide by hospitals, clinics, EMS agencies, and healthcare employers
  • Easily shared, printed, or verified for employment compliance

This certification confirms that the participant has mastered CPR and other critical BLS skills according to AHA standards.
