What is AHA BLS CPR Class

AHA BLS is the hands-on CPR class most people need when they want one course covering adult, child, and infant CPR, AED use, and choking relief. In communities like Des Plaines, that matters because the same class can work for healthcare requirements, school deadlines, and people who simply want more complete emergency training.

What You’ll Learn

The class covers high-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, AED use, choking response, bag-mask ventilation, and team-based emergency response. We keep the training practical so students from Des Plaines leave with real repetitions, not just a quick overview.

What to Expect in Class

Your instructor guides you through the full AHA BLS curriculum using professional manikins and AED trainers. You will practice each skill, complete the written exam, and perform the required hands-on skills assessment before class ends, which is why many students from Des Plaines use this page when they need one clear path to a serious CPR credential.
