The was an incredibly effective and efficient way to get CPR and first aid training for my teaching credential. I feel confident in my ability to help in an emergency and appreciated the 1 on 1 practice with both adult and infant manikins. Highly recommend this training. It really can save lives.

Although it was a long training it was very informative. I feel that I’ve learned a lot of the changes that have occurred over the years and look forward to implementing them in my program.

Online materials were clear & well put together. Customer service by phone was great, very responsive & helpful. In-person test was fine - I'm still getting used to not having a person present, and the mannequin has a few quirks, but I figured those out after doing a couple of practice runs. If you don't end up needing to repeat much, then this part won't take even an hour.

Having been in the medical field for a while now, this is the easiest most efficient way to keep up with my BLS. I have moved to different areas around the Bay area and it’s great that this company has a location close to anywhere you are! Very competent and helpful with each step, great instructions!

The online course and in-person session were highly effective. We had a wonderful Zoom instructor, Joice, who gave clear instructions and focused attention to each participant. The facility was easy to navigate, clean, and comfortable.

The class was extremely convenient for my work schedule and emergent need to acquire my BLS. The program is online and is very thorough. I was able to acquire all the knowledge needed to be compliant with BLS certification, once the class is completed, you receive the certification on email right away with no downtime and you are good to go. I Highly recommend this service for any BLS ACLS or PALS certification which is accredited through the American Heart Association. Thank you for your service services
