I've renewed my BLS for healthcare provider certificate by attending this same course 4 other times in the last decade at other training sites, usually whatever is closest, cheapest, and most convenient at the time. I can honestly say that I've walked out of every one before this one not knowing WHAT I would do in an actual emergency situation except maybe have a heart attack myself. I went in with emails to read etc expecting a DVD led class and a half-asleep instructor who hands out a written test at the end that an average 12-year-old could pass. This was different than any class I've ever attended. I was glued to the instructor, Luis, the entire way through. He put the information in familiar terms and situations that you WILL remember in a life and death situation. I never realized how easy the concepts were and that even I could be instrumental in saving someone's life in an emergency situation until now. I am so thankful for the amount of effort and strategy Luis put I to this recertification class. I will never think of taking another one again anywhere else. The difference is unmeasurable, I can't believe other courses are allowed to keep teaching the same mundane way when there are classes like this available. I got home today and practiced what I learned some more, fully confident I would be able to handle a real life situation if god forbid it ever arises! Thank you thank you thank you, Luis and company! read more
