Since it is in a quiz format along with the visuals, it was easy to understand and educational. However, there were times when the visuals did not run smoothly due to a poor connection.

I LOVED This Class!
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.bigbutterfly2 months agoThis class was amazing! I got to learn a lot of different things I hadn't learned before, like cpr, resume writing, and childcare tips. I got to meet other people in the class. The instructor was very nice and made the class interesting. It was a long day, but worth the time. The only thing I would I change would be to shorten reading from the book and add more activity.

Very beneficial
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Jblechar1 year agoMy 12 year old enjoyed this class a lot. She was fortunate to have a small class and gained a lot from both instructors. She learned so much and walked away feeling more confident and ready to babysit for others. I wish there was an option to get officially CPR certified after this course or as an add on?
