I worked for Mike a couple years ago at a Stamford site. He lost the contract and all my co workers…read morestarting dropping like flies. I already had a second job ( I'm a caretaker ) I would do my care taking job, cover a shift that a coworker upt and left and all the while still do my regular hours. Mike needed a guard for a hospital post and I told him that I'm already working so hard I can't do it. He pleads and tells me that he really needs be because he has no one. I agreed to it .. fell asleep on post and the next morning Mike sent me an email telling me that I am fired and that I like to sleep on the job and make free money. I worked my ass off even when no one else wanted too! He told me that whatever I do on my time I'm not working has nothing to do with him! Ever since then I will never accept a position from anyone ! Idc how much you bet and how much you plead ! As boss YOURRE supposed to handle your post if no one can show up! MIKE AND HIS SUPERVISOR would stay home ALLL NIGHT and never cover a shift if an employee didn't come .!I got fired but in all ACTUALITY HE COULDNT DO HIS JOB so as a man of his stature the best thing for him to do is blame it on someone else ! I cared when he pleaded how he didn't have no one ! He didn't give a rats assss that I worked my ass off and covering his shifts while doling my own shifts while having another job he didn't even say okay ____ thank you so much for all your help take a couple days off rest up and report to work. Especially since I DID NOTIFY him of my caretaking job and how I'm covering HIS OTHER EMPLOYERS SHIFT PLUS MY OWN I TOLD HIM .. he is an asshole .. He wanted to drop me because since the Stamford site that HE couldn't even keep as soon as it was done I doubt he even had any use for me. If you ask me I would never take a hospital shift especially over night ! MY ADVICE: If an employer begs you because they have " no one to cover the shift" THATS A THEM PROBLEM GET OFF OF YOUR ASS FOR THE NOGHT AND GO TO WORK INSTEAD OF BLAMING THE WORKERS FOR YOUR FUCKUP I will listen to my body my heart and my mind because these employers don't care about you !.. since I have GREAT security job .. I'm in the Union and my management actually cares.. ps this was my first ever security job .. I got my guard card through the actual owner BILL.. so for Mike to say that sleeping may work on other jobs and not his was a piece of shot response to say considering the fact that I NEVER SLEPT AT A SECURITY JOB SINCE EMEK WAS MY FIRST EVVER.. i try to stick with black owned security companies .. as much as i can

After taking one of their classes I decided to become a member of their ambulance corps because I loved the people here so much. (I have now been a happy member of Echo Hose Ambulance Corps for 2 years). The instructors here are incredibly knowledgable and want their students to learn in a way they can pass any state exam AND ALSO so that they can succeed out in the field. All of the instructors have given me and other students important lessons that aren't always in a book. Because of these great teachers I will feel more comfortable in an emergency, responding to 911 calls, and even MCIs. Echo Hose offers excellent quality classes and also very personable instructors that have passion for what they teach. Aside example of how great they are: During my state Recertification exam I was cold (I always am) and so I was hunched over taking the exam. One of the instructors, Pat, noticed. He went into the back office and came back with a fleece blanket and told me I could wrap that around myself to stay warmer. I finished off my exam more comfortably and warmer. Thank you Pat and the rest of the Echo Hose Training center team for always making those in your classes feel welcome and like family. I highly recommend taking the refresher courses, CPR classes, or any other EMS class Echo Hose offers.

Giovanni (John) was amazing. He was extremely thorough from start the finish. He made sure each of us in attendance understood the material and allowed us to practice compressions and bag/mask as many times as needed to feel comfortable. He provided constructive feedback and even some tips and tricks. John gave real life scenarios to help us all better understand the importance of CPR and proper technique as well as knowing your role and limitations. The equipment was clean and easy to use. The building is located conveniently right off the highway and easy to locate. The room was easy to find and well marked. Inside the room was spacious and clean. All in all it was a great class and I would recommend Life Saver CPR & First Aid Training (and John!) to anyone seeking to become CPR certified. Thank you John and I look forward to recertification in 2 years!! (Only one photo taken for privacy)

As someone renewing their BLS certification, I had a benchmark for what to expect. However, this session with Giovanni surpassed the previous training. His targeted instruction not only deepened my understanding but also significantly bolstered my confidence in handling emergency situations. Compared to my initial certification elsewhere, Giovanni's class made a much more profound impact on my preparedness and proficiency. Giovanni was engaging and patiently addressed each question I posed and provided me with detailed explanations. He provided constructive feedback, refining my technique and posture, ensuring that I didn't just go through the motions, but fully grasped the lifesaving potential of each action. He also took the time to integrate practical examples and simulations that I might encounter, an aspect that has made my training feel all the more relevant. His dedication to teaching is evident and his ability to adapt to my needs made all the difference. I came looking for a certification, and I left a much more confident first responder. To anyone seeking CPR training that is both engaging and comprehensive, this is the one for you!

Thank you for accommodating me late notice!…read more The flexibility helped me out because I needed recertification ASAP. They are super accessible and booking a class is super easy on the website. As long as you can make it up there and have gps, it's awesome. You'll get to meet people who have a similar profession to yours more than likely. Plus they had apple pie last time I went. The session flew and it was precisely the refresher I needed. If you have extra questions or need more practice, they'll be more than happy. It's always a good idea to update your skills. Hope you never need to use them, but it's better to know what you're doing in case you have to.
