    I was looking for an affordable and convenient way to get re-certified to work at a gym when I…read morestumbled across VA CPR & First Aid (certification provided through the American Heart Association). The VA CPR & First Aid website was extremely easy to navigate. The course was offered (and displayed in a calendar online) more than once on a weekend during the month making it easy for me to find a class that fit my schedule. Michelle (who taught the class) was very responsive when I asked her questions via email. I asked about dates and payment and usually got a response within 42 hours. As an instructor she was clear and friendly. The location of the course (tucked inside a commercial office space) was a doable drive from the Alexandria, VA area. If you take a course here please note there is a limited number of food options that are within walking distance (when you break for lunch). The closest place to get something to go is the Dunkin Donuts accross the street. I thought the price with the book (100 for the class, 20 for the book) was fair when compared to similar courses. I have taken the American Red Cross certification (more than once). I thought the way the American Red Cross presented the material 4 years ago to me was more hands on than the American Heart Association. Specifically, with the first aid course material. If my memory serves me correctly, I remember doing a lot more hands on demonstrations when I got certified by the American Red Cross than by the American Heart Association. In a nutshell its a good option if you need to get certified in a quick time frame and live in the northern VA area but if this is your first time getting certified specifically for first aid I would look at the American Red Cross' certification courses first.

    I have taken the CPR & AED course (for trainers and laypeople) twice in the last 3 years with Life…read moreRescue, and enjoyed it both times. In both cases, my instructor was Amer Tobing, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second before taking his course again when my certification expires. Although I've been CPR certified several times, Life Rescue offered more practical information than my previous certs. Amer's background as a firefighter and in emergency medical services shows, as he has a focused, no-nonsense attitude toward assessing an emergency situation and acting. He teaches us to think in a similar manner by addressing and hammering the most important things to know and remember. He also has a sense of humor, and is great at connecting with people, which makes his class more fun than I ever expected. But make no mistake: he takes his job and the subject matter very seriously, and doesn't let jokes overshadow or displace what is most important. I like how he spends a lot of time focusing on the reality of emergency situations vs. textbook scenarios, because there are some things that books won't tell you. Even though I had taken his class before, the second time around, he didn't let me off the hook if I could have performed something better. I really appreciated it, because it's sometimes the little things that can make a difference. Overall, it feels less like a class and more like practicing and discussing with a coach. I learned more each time, and further reinforced what I previously knew. I feel much more confident after having taken his course, would recommend it to anyone, and actually look forward to taking it again in the future.

    Great class! I was definitely nervous taking my PALs revert after COVID but the facility was clean…read moreand the instructors were professional.

    We were looking for a local tax preparer we could establish a relationship with. I appreciate once…read moreI uploaded my documents, they processed the return quickly. However, our experience was confusing and disappointing. They charged us 64% more than what we thought we would be charged when we signed the agreement; a significant amount of money. They told us afterward this was due to the individual attention needed to give to our return because we were new clients. The thing is, they had last year's return to nearly cut/paste from, nothing changed. Also, to get started, I had to reach out to find out what was needed since I'd signed the agreement a few months ago, and I was emailed a 51-page, photocopied checklist to go through myself. If they knew from the beginning that they were going to charge so much more simply because we were new clients, at the very least, a courtesy email up front letting us know to expect we would likely be charged more would have been a step toward a collaborative approach, which is how they describe they work on their site. There was no collaboration with us. When we got our return, there was no explanation or walk through, or call to summarize; instead it started with some confusing pages indicating we should front load the IRS a total of over $2,000 throughout the upcoming year. I had to pursue a call to understand what this meant, and once on the call, was advised that this was recommended by the software, as a conversation starter. I don't think anyone intended to have a conversation with us at any point about this, and asked what about our situation indicated that we would be in position to need to take these steps. It was evident that the two people I was speaking to were scanning the paperwork to come up with a reason why the software would make such a recommendation, and that in fact, there was no reason we would fall into a category where this would apply. It was a concerning call, because it was clear they had no idea what my return included, or what the recommendations meant, and so on; and the call had been on the schedule for quite a few days so there could have been some sort of preparation. I voiced my concerns when I received the excessively high invoice, and it was explained to me that all of the time spent justified the expense. It was a seemingly settled matter on their end until I typed a review on the business website, which unfortunately doesn't get posted anywhere. Once the review was submitted, however, it prompted a leadership response acknowledging our concerns and there was an offer to refund our money. While we appreciate the gesture, we declined because they performed some of the service they said they would: we have a filed return, so we owe them for filing a return. They just tremendously increased the price for services that they didn't provide, and didn't own up to it until I posted a review.

    What a great firm. LeAnn is awesome. I have known her for many years and she is very professional…read more I would highly recommend them. R. Herr Warrenton, VA
