From someone who has taken numerous BLS certification classes over the years, I must say this was…read moreone of the best I've taken yet. 1) The best price I could find for a live (not online) BLS re-cert for the area. Quick, easy online registration where you have the option to pay in full or deposit only. 2) The address is easy to find, but they don't have a big business sign visible from the sidewalk yet (but rumor has it that it should be coming soon). So just trust the listed address and you'll find it. It's easy to reach by bus and car. 3) The owners and staff are very sweet and knowledgeable. They greeted me right away, helped me get settled in before the class, and happy to answer questions and make accommodations. 4) I forgot her name, but I liked the instructor a lot! She did a great job breaking the ice in the beginning, laying out our objectives, and her general instruction and discussions with the class. 5) Also important to note is the safety and cleanliness! Each mannequin had new mouthpieces, but each student removed his or her own seal to ensure safe practice of giving breaths. The floors were clean with no obvious trash or dirt. I also appreciated that each mannequin station came with knee pads for added comfort, safety for the student'a knees, and less contact with the floor. 6) Bonus Star for having a refreshment station in the Hall! There was a full water cooler and fresh pot of coffee available, which is definitely necessary for a 3-4 hour class.

We love Ralph- he is a great trainer and very clear and really trains in a way that you remember all the information. Most recently, we did a Hybrid training due to COVID and it was a smooth and easy process! The online portion is great and really allows to to learn and practice the skills through virtual "missions" trips that give you real life scenarios. The in person training is just as thorough and informative. We each got one of our own mannequins to practice CPR on, along with 2 pairs of gloves, bandages and gauze to practice first aid, and he also provided practice AED's and EpiPen's for practice, and glove removal instruction! Hands down the best CPR training I've ever received that we hired him again when our old expired expired- 100% recommend!

My husband and I completed this course over Zoom and the quality of the content and practice was very high. As other reviewers have suggested, Amy is very fun while also direct. She pays attention to each student to ensure they are correctly implementing the different techniques. If you are not doing something the right way, she will let you know. She was even able to give this feedback over Zoom! I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in learning more about infant/toddler safety (much of it applies to adult safety as well).

Igualmente esta se ha dado la tarea de pedirles a sus alumnas regalos como Botellas de licor Wisky, la cual también a abierto, tomado y dado a sus alumnas en el aula de clases en esta institución, si no le colaboras a CANDIDA ZAMBRANO, te monta el ojo te hace la vida cuadritos durante todo el curso, en las clases online se conectaba y daba instrucciones especificas ella no daba clases esos días solo decía que se conectaran a las 9.30 pm, para tomar la foto de la asistencia de esos días ella es una enfermera no es Docente, es una pirata y poco profesional y la institución esta al tanto de las innumerables denuncias y casos que ha tenido con los alumnos y ha hecho caso omiso de la grave y delicada situación lo único que les importa es el dinero y tener a alguien allí que de este curso aunque no sirva para dar las clases, solo para ellos salir del paso y poder ofrecer estos cursos poco profesionales porque no busca ni consigue alguien acto calificado y profesional para que dicte estos cursos de manera eficiente.. la verdad no recomiendo ni la institución ni a la Prof.

It is the designated US affiliate of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the United States movement to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Formed in 1881 by Clara Barton the Red Cross Headquarters are located in Washington D.C. In my almost Fifty Years studying, volunteering and working in various Human Services Positions I have found the services they provide very necessary. I'm not going to go into all the specifics but just want to say they expect their employees and volunteers to be ready to respond quickly when there's an emergency. If you want first hand experience in Human Services I suggest you volunteer!
