This hybrid BLS course was great! Unlike classroom courses, the online portion is self-paced. It includes videos and quizzes. Once the online portion is done, you’ll do a skills test at a testing center. The skills test explains what you did and what you need to improve on, if anything. I would definitely recommend this course!

It was quiet, personal, got to do it on your time and didn’t feel rushed! I highly suggest taking the $10 unlimited reschedule fee! I have kids so I had to reschedule a few times and that saved me definitely! Definitely plan on using them to renew from now on!
