Great classes online with highly practical and necessary information. The practical testing session was easily understandable and hosted by a great instructor (Lai) and now I feel confident to be able to perform cpr or first aid should a situation arise. Overall a great experience that I highly recommend for anyone interested in becoming certified. 5 stars.

Easy to demonstrate skills with an online trainer who gave precise feedback. All the materials were in good shape. It was helpful to practice the skills on the mannequins instead of just completing an online course. Many locations, which was great because the sunset location is near my home. Highly recommend!

Love this place! Quick and easy! I have Autism/ADHD and this is a perfect setting for me. I hated going to a class and performing maneuvers in front of other people, I’m so happy you’ve provided a comfortable environment for someone like me. CPR is mandatory, but my discomfort doesn’t have to be. I highly recommend this place if you want convenience.

This was by far the best BLS renewal course I’ve taken as a nurse. The voice-assisted mannequin helped me understand so many nuances of CPR that I had never been taught in previous BLS classes. Getting real-time feedback on compression depth, recoil, ventilation, and bag-valve-mask technique was incredibly useful and made the training feel much more relevant to real patient care. I especially appreciated the neonatal resuscitation practice. Before this course, I honestly had no idea how to properly ventilate a neonate with a bag-valve mask, and I’m genuinely grateful for the hands-on knowledge and confidence this course gave me. It may be more expensive than some other BLS renewal options, but after completing it, I completely understand why. The quality of the equipment, feedback, and instruction made it absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend this course to other healthcare professionals.
