Excellent Course

Great Class!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.emiillyyy3 years agoI honestly really enjoyed this class and the instructor. We were shown what to do and got multiple times to practice to make sure we were doing it correctly. I thought I would be intimated because this was something I was kind of nervous about doing, but it was fun! I would definitely take this class here in the future again. One thing though: the class may go on longer than expected. I would suggest not making a tight schedule, allow a half-hour more than expected. Otherwise great!

Great Class but Slightly Strange Format
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Nicole44813 years agoThe class was great and they fit a lot of information into a short amount of time. I felt a lot more confident in my knowledge and abilities after the class. My only issue with the class is that I took the Adult First Aid/CPR/AED class but the in-person skills class also included the children's section so I had to sit through some information that I wasn't getting certified for. It wasn't a big deal but it seems like they should have put that information at the end so those who didn't need that ... information could leave early.

Happy to recommend
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.gifflinda3 years agoI had originally registered for an in-person class that was ultimately canceled. In order to recertify in time, I registered for the online class. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was impressed. The "Missions" were well done, and I was able to watch them a second time for reinforcement. I then went for my in-person skills testing. My instructor was great. She reviewed the highlights and ran us through a practice run before we tested. I am happy to recommend this class.

Efficient and Engaging
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Alana4415 years agoThe adult and pediatric CPR/AED-BL course was a great experience. The interactive and informative online portion that I completed made me more comfortable and confident with the necessary information prior to attending the in person session. The instructor was extremely educated on the topic and answered all questions we had. Her humor and questions made the course more engaging than a typical CPR course. The CPR mouth covering keychain we received at the end was also a plus that I appreciated, ... especially during a pandemic.

Instructor and Training Were Great!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.StephRiv4 years agoI didn't know what to expect when I signed up for this course because of how Covid has really changed the way we do almost everything. So I was worried it would be more video instruction and not so much hands on. I actually really ended up loving the video modules followed by the in class instruction. Our instructor was very articulate in explaining the CPR and AED procedure. And, yes, you do get to practice with a "dummy". I think that the instructor made something that can be mundane an ... enjoyable and memorable experience.

Lots of good information
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.SBB673 weeks agoI felt a bit like too much was thrown at us at once. I would like to have had something to read in advance so I would have been more prepared to ask questions. I really liked the hands on part and that has made me more comfortable with CPR. More training on first aid would have been nice. Would have also appreciated some general information on how to volunteer in the area.

Leaving the class with more knowledge
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Terry C4 days agoI recently took a CPR course and honestly, I'm so glad I did! I went in thinking it would just be a refresher of what I already knew, but I ended up learning so much more than I expected. The instructor was fantastic- super engaging, knowledgeable, it made everyone feel comfortable asking questions. What really stood out to me was how the teacher introduced some new information and updated guidelines that I wasn't aware of before. They explained everything clearly, with real-life examples that ... helped it all make sense. I left a class feeling much more confident in my ability to respond in an emergency situation. I would highly recommend this course to anyone- whether it's your first time or you're just renewing your certification. You'll definitely walk away with valuable, possibly life-saving knowledge.

Concise and Thorough
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Amf223 days agoTom's in-person skills training was concise but very thorough. He demonstrated the proper techniques, and everyone had their own mannequin on which to practice. He shared great tips and real-life situations in which these skills would be applicable. Tom covered CPR, AED, and first aid.

Worthwhile Course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Valen3 days agoThe instructor was clearly had a breadth of experience both in the field and in teaching the course, as he knew how to identify and correct for common mistakes right away. I felt confident once I left the class that I'd be able to use what I'd learned in a real-world setting.
