So, I had to renew my BLS, and since I've been coming here now for my last two certifications i…read morethought my experience would be excellent as always. Not the case...I was singled out and embarrassed!! I was told I'm too weak to administer compressions, told my acrylic nails were in the way, and made to place my mannequin on the floor and work on it down there. I have never had problems here, in fact last time I came I breezed through and finished my test second and passed. That class was also full to capacity. The instructor was so kind and thorough and made sure everyone was all on the same page. Her name was Brittany, But yesterday, no Brittany. It was a woman named Michelle. She told me she has been teaching this class for 35 years. She was definitely on a power ego trip as she told me several times throughout the class she would not pass me. She was beyond kind and attentive to the only other two male EMTs that were there. She kept saying how we should be out by 8:30pm, when class was supposed to be until 9:30pm, she rushed through and skipped over video segments. When we were all done with our practical part, she said it was test time and stated that we would also be given a review to fill out rating her class. She said depending on the review, it would affect her job status!! Good review she stays employed, bad she loses job. After she handed me the review paper she softened up towards me. After the other two EMTs were finished with their tests and had left (yes they were finished first, no surprise because she stressed me out) As I was finishing my test and concentrating, she kept talking to me and making comments about random things. While I'm testing!! Long story short, I drove out of my way to come here. A 38 minute drive. I will now find a new location in two years when mine expires. Yes I passed, but it was the most humiliating experience. Three stars because she did change attitude towards the end and the other two EMTs were helping me and being supportive throughout.

Great school. Great instructors. Positive environment. If you pass the class you'll pass the NREMTread more

I recently took the ACLS/PALS/BLS combo recertification course offered at CVME and boy am I…read morethankful that I chose this location! These classes are typically long and uninspiring, most healthcare professionals likely dread having to take the days off work and spend the money to renew these certifications. Not only that, but sometimes instructors who teach these courses are lackluster, or even mean and hard on you which makes no sense. That was NOT my experience here, thankfully. I had the BEST experience! Kevin and Daniel were heartfelt, committed, clearly passionate about what they do, encouraged participation and active learning, made the content interesting and enjoyable, were incredibly supportive, and made sure we had all of the information we needed to succeed in the course. The ladies in the office were very friendly and helpful as well. Great vibes here. I would highly recommend coming here for your ACLS/PALS/BLS needs. I drove two hours each way to the Madera location, and I'm so glad I did. I plan to return to take other courses in the near future. Can't say enough good things about this place, the staff, and my overall experience was a 10/10.

This is the only location in the Fresno/Madera area that offers the Safesitter classes to get your tween/teen ready to start their babysitting business. If you do have them attend the class make sure to prepare them for the lunch break because it's about 6hrs long. There isn't a waiting room so you may be waiting in your car if you're driving from far away. You can also walk and shops and the stores near by. The staff here is warm, hospitable and even have snacks for their students. Registering was easy and fast. I will for sure be back when my younger kids age up!

She made sure every student really understood what he/she was doing. She went above and beyond with instructing this class. While I'm grateful to be BLS certified I hope that I will rarely use it. I like that it's a smaller class size as well because it ensured that every student really understood how to do proper compressions. I will definitely recommend this place to my fellow CNA's and anyone who needs CPR training. Thank you again to ACT!

Please bring the joy out when you are training as you are helping yo train people to save lives The course was supposed to be from 12.30 -4 Some people were done at 2.40 This won't be my choice next time

It was clear that this company was okay with doing the bare minimum. The room was adjacent to what I assume was an animal hospital. Barking dogs could be herd throughout this session. The tablet screen was very small so the videos were hard to see. Students were expected to clean and sanitize the room when the training was compete.

If you are unable to reschedule within a 7 day period due to work, school, or any other personal reason they keep your initial payment of $70. Therefore, you would have to pay all over again. This company really knows how to extort you for your money. You may get your needed certificate but at a price higher than you expected with extra time you must prepare for

She takes the time to ensure every student fully understands each component before moving on, and she creates such a welcoming and encouraging environment. Because of this great experience, I decided to also take the Instructional CPR course with her. I was initially nervous about the instructional training since I didn't know what to expect and assumed it would be very different from BLS. But Donna made it just as approachable. She explained everything clearly and was always ready to explain things in different ways until it made sense. She also shared her own training experiences, which helped put us at ease and made the class feel more relatable. As a science teacher with seven years of experience, I truly appreciate and respect her teaching style. Donna does a fantastic job delivering the material in a clear and engaging way. I highly recommend her classes, whether you're renewing your BLS or pursuing instructional certification. She's truly one of the best educators I've encountered.
