He does a great job at explaining all of the important information we learned on the learning modules during the in-person skills training. He gives live feedback on your performance, and offer suggestions on how to improve/modify your technique. It's also a same day certification, which means the certificate is available within 5-15 minutes after the class. Highly recommend if you're looking into taking a BLS/First Aid courses!

I recently took a class with instructor, P.W., and his instruction was exceptional. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, kind, and inclusive. He somehow makes an all-day class feel like it goes by quickly! What I appreciated most was his teaching style. He doesn't just give you the answers, he walks you through the question or scenario and helps you critically think your way to the answer yourself. He takes the time to explain things clearly and makes sure everyone feels comfortable asking questions. This was a challenging class for me, and having an instructor like P.W. made a huge difference. I'm hoping the next time I take a class, he'll still be teaching here!

At one point, I tried to ask her a question about whether the breathing part actually delivers enough oxygen, but her answer was for a different question. I felt like she didn't take the time to listen to what I was asking. The CPR training was reasonable, but the First-Aid part was barely addressed. I recently completed a NOLS/WMS Wilderness First-Aid course through REI, and I felt like I learned so much there. And while being in the wilderness may be a significant difference in circumstances, the injuries are not. Blisters, heat-exhaustion, impalements, etc. can all happen anywhere, especially with children. But in the end they were quick to respond to my email, and I got my certification in less than 2 hours, on a holiday weekend no less, so I guess I should be happy with that. I'm just not someone who's looking for an 'easy A'. It's kind of sad, because many of the students that come here are working for schools or the YMCA, and they're supposedly the ones trained to handle your children in emergency situations.

There were room for questions after each section and each answer was informative. Luckily they provide a take home manual that summarizes the slides you'll be going through if you forget. Bring snacks and drinks (closed tops/bottles), as you'll get breaks in between, though they do offer some for sale. Overall great class and definitely recommend it either for a first time, refrehser or if you need the most basic form of certification.

As a non nursing medical professional I am not required to have an ACLS cert, but I felt passionately that myself and others that work in hospitals should be aware of how Advanced Life Support works and what general concepts are covered beyond BLS. I will make it a routine to repeat the ACLS class in the years to come because they did such a great job at STAR to put students in simulations that you will actually encounter in healthcare. A big thank you to Patrick for being so knowledgeable, engaging, and kind in the class. Also thank you to Amber for being so communicative with scheduling and any questions I had during enrollment. This team truly just want health care workers- and beyond- to have the knowledge on how to save peoples lives. Thanks again! John

Not only was the course $100, but I did not receive my certification the same day. I have taken CPR courses over the last 10 years and I have always received the physical card or Ecard same day.

When I spoke with the American Heart Association, they weren't much help either. I was told that ACLS has 20 calendar days to provide the information to them so they can mail out the cards. I was not informed of this information at all. Please avoid this company at all costs. They do not care whatsoever after they receive payment.

I rescheduled with another local company and requested a refund. Kaitlyn Todd instructed me I would receive a refund within 6-10 business days. I wait 10 business days and never received my refund. I once again reached out to Kaitlyn Todd who said she would issue me a refund ASAP and was unsure why the initial refund did not go through. It's been a week since I last spoke with Kaitlyn Todd and have not received my refund. I have left a voicemail for her and called multiple times on different days. At this point, I feel as if I have been ghosted and will resort to disputing the charge with my credit card company. UPDATE: Kaitlyn has replied to my email and has instructed me to move forward with disputing the charge to my credit card due to being unable to refund my money at this time because of a backlog of refund requests. Again, I advise everyone to steer clear of this business.
