American Red Cross Certs
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Marshall B5 years agoI currently got my emergency medical response instructor certification, and it was super easy to do so! I love ARC, and I’m glad I’m apart of the ARC community and get to keep up on my training and train. If it wasn’t for ARC, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish all the things I love to do!

Life Saving Knowledge
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Fire Head2 weeks agoI did this training on 4/15/25 and our instructor Jermaine was absolutely FABULOUS!!! He was very knowledgeable and laid back. It was a great class and I'd do it again. I was the nervous person in the class, he made me relax and get comfortable in the Instructor role when it was my turn to instruct.

Glad I took the class, ready to instruct
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Koontzie2 weeks agoKallee did an excellent job reviewing information and guiding us as needed. She made sure we are setup to go out and instruct with success. Instructor class over all very good and knowledgeable. I don’t know if it’s just me or the amount of emails or their message, but I felt it was a test, but it is more a workshop and assessment. Review materials, but not necessary to memorize.
