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!

For an A H A CPR recertification - if you are already experienced and have practiced all techniques…read morein a full 3-4 hour CPR class, then this will suffice. It was a super quick 2-hour course and the video and demonstrations were solid; however, the actual hands-on practice was very limited. We did not get our own CPR body to work with, just shared one, and we couldn't blow into the masks. Did not practice at all on infants, but did observe the instructor do the CPR and choking techniques on an infant doll. If you want to learn CPR for the first time, this is not going to meet your needs. But I just took the 3-4 hour Red Cross CPR training a few months ago so I feel like this is all I needed to get the AHA card, required for my new agency that prefers AHA. I bought the book when I registered because I thought it was required to buy a copy. I don't think you need to buy it. Definitely don't buy any of the odd "Take the Test Multiple Times" upgrade, so fishy. The teacher was good, friendly, efficient. He worked around a participant bringing a very active preschooler to class. Patient man, for sure. Bring a hoodie to class as the air conditioner is cold. Nice building, clean and secure. I got free street parking so that was a bonus.

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!!

GUESS WHO'S BACK BACK AGAIN…read more It's me, Eminem hasn't released a song in years. Anyways, as I said before, I came back for my renewal! This time I had a class with Lauren. 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!

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
