I was told COVID-19 is a hoax (no different than the common cold) and that medical professionals should not wear PPE. If you are in the area and need to take a CPR class, seek services elsewhere. Would not recommend it to anyone. If she can even recognize the benefit of a mask for public health, I have little faith in her CPR course.

Will get defensive if questioned about certain things, and at times passive aggressive. Very disorganized, make sure you're organized because they will not be.

Overall though it's quick, so if you can handle a few weeks of slight chaos (for a whopping $1700) it is fine.

I thought that sounded like a fun family activity so I signed up. Unfortunately, there weren't any dolphins in the pool... Be aware - this is a place that teaches children how to swim and that's it.

They supported me through my entire prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey with such steady care.When the Birth Center of Chicago temporarily closed due to a staffing shortage, I had to transfer to Burr Ridge Birth Center (also wonderful!). Amber and Rebekkah ensured the transition was completely seamless, and I still felt fully supported during such a major change at seven months pregnant. Throughout my pregnancy, they offered calm reassurance and evidence-based guidance that truly prepared me for birth. I felt confident, grounded, and ready. Rebekkah attended my birth and later encapsulated my placenta--she even delivered the capsules with homemade cookies. During labor, her clear explanations of what was happening helped me stay present, focused, and connected to what my body was capable of. I'm endlessly grateful that I found them. I cannot recommend this doula team enough!

So when it came time to getting my to do list for clinical requirements, I was very behind! Thankfully, Paul was a life saver (literally! Lol). He was very prompt and insightful via email, and was able to get me in a class within a week and a half of me initially requesting a CPR class. The class itself was the most fun and informational CPR class I have ever taken. Prior to this class I had taken the course 3 other times with various instructors. Paul has a lot of experience in this field and it shows through his teaching! He takes a very real approach to CPR, which was refreshing. Highly recommend!!! Thanks again, Paul! -Katie :)

He's saved lives for a career and knows what he's talking about! I found him to be friendly, thorough, and approachable. He offered a lot of information related to scene safety assessment that you won't find in the book, and he went more into depth on the Heimlich procedure for infants than I'd heard anywhere else before. He spent as much time as needed and made sure we felt confident in the skills. It wasn't about just knowing all the right answers on paper. It was great to learn something new and refresh the skills I'd previously acquired. The class consisted of only 3 students, including myself, all involved in professional childcare. This small-group feel made it seem more personal and gave us more one-on-one from the instructor. I found this having fewer students refreshingly different from a BLS class I'd taken for health professionals through the Red Cross four years earlier. His price was extremely reasonable. Since he didn't have a First Aid Class that night (it was only CPR/AED), and I needed both, he recommended I take the blended learning approach, doing the education/training portion online through AHA and then staying after the CPR/AED class so he could administer the skills assessment. He was accommodating to help me this way and he even loaned students the required books to study. I was able to get the knowledge and certifications I needed through this class and had an enjoyable time doing it!
