I wanted to renew my pediatric/adult CPR/first aid/AED certification, so I found a class through…read morethe Red Cross website that worked with my schedule and signed up. I prefer to do the classroom-only option for classes like this, since I want as much hands-on training and discussion as possible to help me retain what I'm learning. (They do also offer many hybrid options online.) I'm very glad I signed up for a Sunday morning class so I could park on the road nearby, since I have no idea how anyone would be able to find parking around this location otherwise. (I recommend coming early and checking all street signs carefully for the parking restrictions/requirements.) Once I made it to the door, I pressed the bell and went upstairs. We started pretty much on time and every seat in the class was filled. The class consisted of text and videos on the television interspersed with group/partner activities and hands-on training. We got to use the adult-size torsos (with lights to show you if you were pressing hard enough), infant dolls, practice AED machines, training Epi-pens, and some basic first-aid materials. Luckily, the class members who attended on this day were fun and engaged, so we had good discussions. The class lasted the full 6.5 hours. (In the past, it's been 50-50 for going for the full time, since sometimes the class votes to take a working lunch to finish early.) The teacher also ended up taking more frequent breaks toward the end, since people were lagging after lunch. I do like that the full-day class means you don't have to take a separate test, since the instructor verifies you are doing all the hands-on techniques properly. We even got a pin after answer a final "quiz" question correctly at the end of the class. I left the class feeling prepared and ready to help with CPR or first aid in an emergency. The completion certificate link was sent via email, which is handy if I need to pull it up while I'm on the go.

Good space, friendly staff, quick turnaround, an your helping folks in under an hour. 5 stars!read more

There are many online CPR courses which I did take but were not valid when I submitted it to the state. I took the class with Francisco the owner which is prior military and firefighter. From day one it was really easy to get a hold of him and to arrange for the class. I got lucky that my class ended up being just me so I got to ask any questions I had and Francisco would gladly answer them. The whole experience was an easy and very insightful. Francisco does a great job teaching and cares about you learning.

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.

We took the childbirth education and cpr classes…read more I'd recommend them. One class was held at Nidhi's residence (separate from her home) and another was at an office location in Arlington. The instructors were great. Nidhi is very knowledgeable, friendly, and open. The class sizes were pretty small and you're encouraged to ask lots of questions. There were also snacks and water which are important to me since i was pregnant and didn't want to go 2+ hours not eating/drinking anything. My husband and I brought sandwiches to one class and we were able to eat them during the class (it was around dinner time/6pm) so atmosphere is casual which I appreciate. You get an online resource packet after the class that summarizes everything covered. Should probably look at that again as i am typing this before my gassy, ornery newborn wakes up.

Nested's Newborn Care/ Infant CPR Bootcamp absolitely knocked it out of the park. I learned SO MUCH about the stages baby's are going through when they're first born, the routines you're establishing, the techniques you can use to care for them and more. Renie and Migma are so nice, and so clearly so committed to what they do, I felt extremely comfortable and confident under their instruction. The class imparts so much information in a 4-hour course, and the cherry on top is that after completing the in-person and online class imparts now Red Cross certified for both Adult and Infant CPR, and feel confident in both. Even Though I myself am not expecting, I was welcomed and encouraged in my desire to learn. Whether you're an expecting parent or a loved one seeking to prepare to be an involved member of a child's early life, i really can't recommend Nested and specifically the Newborn Care bootcamp highly enough! Absolutely worth the value!
