Not sure which one to take?

If you have previously taken a BLS course before, look at your previous certification and see which certification body provided the training. If you have never taken a course before, consult with your employer because some might have a preference. Generally, American Red Cross is the preferred, but we can’t guarantee that. Please consult with your employer before registering.
