Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR

If you’re looking for BLS renewal or certification in Chicago, we host several blended BLS hands-on skills sessions each week. Most BLS classes are held at our suburban office in Elmwood Park, just outside of Chicago. We also frequently host public classes at Chamberlain College of Nursing in Addison, IL, and Tinley Park, IL, along with several local businesses. We’ve recently teamed up with Little Rock Fox Fire Protection District in Plano, IL, in Kendall County, to host public BLS Classes for local residents.

Illinois Safety is an approved American Heart Association training center. All of our instructors are firefighters and paramedics who put their real-life experiences to work in the classroom.

Whether you need BLS certification or BLS recertification, make sure that you train and accredit yourself under the auspices of the most reputable program. Don’t be fooled by any companies that offer online-only BLS classes. You want to choose courses that are accredited by the American Heart Association because most schools and employers will not accept BLS certifications unless they have AHA accreditation.
