Basic Life Support (BLS) classes

Initial • Recertification • Blended Learning

BLS classes are designed for Healthcare workers, students, and those applying for a position in the healthcare field. Professions that benefit from Basic Life Support are RNs, CNAs, first responders, and hospital/medical center staff.

BLS Training is offered in two methods

  • In Person: Led by an instructor, classroom only sessions combine lecture with hands-on skills sessions.

Once completed, you will arrive for a skills session for hands on practice with equipment such as bag valve masks, pocket masks, AEDs, and CPR feedback manikins. A skills test will follow at the end of the session

“I had to take BLS for a class, and I am so happy I chose this one. It was a great comfortable learning environment, and I feel the knowledge learned will stick with me since it was very hands on. Definitely would recommend this, and plan to come back here when mine expires. :)”

“I took the ACLS skills training course with Moon Valley CPR and they were fabulous. I was provided with a 1 on 1 training session and given multiple scenarios to go through. My trainer was thorough, helpful and knowledgeable. They also allowed me to practice other skills using the manikins while there. Definitely would recommend”
