BLS Certification in Sacramento

The American Red Cross offers BLS training in Sacramento that's designed for individuals and organizations. Our online, and Simulation Learning experience, which blends online coursework with an in-person skills session, both result in full certification. This way, you can choose the right class for your schedule – and the way you learn. For organizations interested in hosting BLS training for their teams, our instructors can work with you to incorporate local protocols into your classes so that you can train the way you respond.

The Sacramento BLS classes are designed specifically for healthcare providers and first responders who are faced with a myriad of situations every day. To help prepare you to respond appropriately, and in a way that offers the best possible patient outcomes, our courses cover a wide range of topics, including CPR, First Aid, and AED usage, as well as scene safety and assessment, critical thinking, problem solving, communication and teamwork, the emergency medical services system, legal considerations, and more.

Our innovative Simulation Learning experience blends online coursework with in-person skills sessions, so you can learn your way. Featuring all of the same information as our in-person Sacramento BLS classes, our Simulation Learning course makes it easy to learn the latest in CPR and AED usage, problem solving and team dynamics. And with our in-person skills sessions, you'll be able to demonstrate your skills to a trained instructor and, upon successful completion, earn full certification.

At the Red Cross, we not only offer BLS classes in Sacramento, but we make it possible for you to become a trainer – and proctor certifications for members of your own organization and your community. To help you become a Red Cross trainer, we will recognize your current instructor certifications and offer free instructor bridging. Along with our portfolio of BLS classes, we are a leading provider of OSHA-compliant health and safety training, offering a wide range of training programs to our partners, including First Aid/CPR/AED, Wilderness and Remote First Aid, Babysitting, Lifeguarding, and more.

At the American Red Cross we've trained first responders and medical professionals for more than 100 years. And our Sacramento BLS certification courses are an extension of that legacy. Developed with the latest science and best practices in mind, our courses give you the training you need to help during times of crisis.
