Usually, I visit the Peterson location, but visited the 38th/Halsted location because it's closer to home. Don't let the stockyard, industrial location scare you off, or confuse you. The entrance is to the left of the Aquired Taste storefront, on the right of the entrance at there is a keypad to call to gain entrance/buzzed in. Earl is the best CPR instructor hands down. Super informative, helpful and makes learning life saving skills fun. Looking forward to returning in 2 years...hope to see you there, Earl!

I thought the class was fine, I got what I needed out of it. The building is a little run-down but…read morethat's not the company or the instructor's fault. It's a building used for all sorts of businesses, it's not creepy like someone else said. The instructor, A .Tunde Okunuga, MD, was knowledgable and explained things more in depth than any other CPR class I have taken (and I have taken a lot of them), so I appreciated that. He may be a little old-school but he wants to make sure the students know what's going on and are actually comprehending the material. Overall I would take a class here again.

Also not to mention he threatened to "allow us to pass the class and not get the certification" and when asked for clearer instructions he said to "respect his age" and that I didn't need to be "difficult". For an MD I'm truly appalled by his behavior.

Let me just say that my experience of getting certified here was the best I've ever had. I took an…read moreACLS course with Jim & he was such an awesome guy. I know these certification courses can drag on forever - watching videos, role playing, etc., but he makes it so fun by integrating stories and little acronyms/rhymes to make concepts stick. Also, he's a paramedic so he has tons of personal experience and really knows his stuff. Overall, solid people, solid place. If you want to be certified in CPR, ACLS, etc., definitely do it at CET with Jim & I promise it will be worthwhile!!

Again, great class, and I love the real world applications that you learn about. You get more practical advice and information in classes here than anywhere else. Both Lauren and Jim have years of experience, so you really do learn a lot - above and beyond the information you'll get from just the AHA material alone. 3 years later, still highly recommend!

Advice: before you purchase the book call them or send them an email. While CPR Now has great prices on the courses (and bundle price savings which is what I did), you can even get better deals by checking in on yelp, following them on Facebook or twitter, or even emailing them if they have any last minute specials running to fill a class.

I came to Illinois Safety CPR to obtain a Basic Life Support CPR AED certification because my job…read morerequired it, and not my current American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR AED certification. Its location was within an acceptable driving distance from the west-side of Chicago which is why I chose it. And also its location is an area I am familiar with. ISCPR offers Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS); Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS); Basic Life Support, as well as American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR AED classes. Registering for the class was a simple process. After clicking on the class I needed, a drop down menu appeared with a thirty day span of dates to choose from. And finally, after clicking on my preferred date it took me to the registration page for that particular class. Located within a traffic circle, the easiest way to identify ISCPR is to look out for restaurants Eggsperience Breakfast & Lunch, and Circle Tavern which ISCPR sits in-between. Now as for the class. Due to coronavirus, there were things that we did not do during this course, as well as things we did such as wearing gloves while touching the dummies, and utilizing a Ambu bag instead of doing mouth to mouth. The presentation itself which majority of it was on video was easy to follow and the instructor, Michael was very insightful and welcoming throughout it. I am glad I chose to attend Illinois Safety CPR to obtain my BLS certification. I highly recommend if you are pursuing any of the CPR certifications mentioned. ~Blessings~ Thomas G
