I had to get certified and I was looking for an office that would work with my schedule…read more I searched around and this office came up. I called the office and the lady (Kiki) was very pleasant. She was willing to work with my availability which is a big plus because I have a busy schedule. The class was straight forward and we went over first aid, watched videos, went over questions and she took the time to answer all my questions. After, we went over CPR and it was nice to see the mannequin that connects to a smart device and tells you if you are doing it correctly or not. I will be honest, I wanted to cut the face off like Dwight in Office. I restrained myself! ! All in all, she is great and you can tell that she has a lot of experience. I highly encourage anyone to attend this office if you need/want to get certified. You won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately had to get re certified for CPR and first aid for work. These can be really boring…read moreand repetitive classes especially when you have to retake them every two years! The best part of taking the classes at 411 is the trainer, Kiki! She helps make the almost 3 hours (for each class) go by rather quickly and has some hilarious stories about personal experiences that keep it fun! They have all kinds of things you may need for your home/car/etc that can help prevent accidents from happening and then give you the training you need in case they do! Highly recommend checking it out if you're interested in safety classes or information!

I signed up for a CPR class. And they refused to send the necessary courses prior to the class…read more Didn't allow me to reschedule. Would not refund. And would not let me take the class even though I showed up. I paid $100 for this class For them to just tell me no you're not taking it. And nobody I talked to wanted to help me figure out what we could do. The only thing the Red Cross honors is their no refund policy. Greed hungry people. I was the test to see if our company wanted to use this source as a CPR class for our employees. However, given how I was treated. And the fact that nobody honors their word or the papers that are printed and provided. I highly recommend reaching out to your fire stations or some other form for CPR classes. Don't waste your money through the American Red Cross.

I cannot say enough good things about this business. I've been a customer for years ranging from…read morerunning a small photography business to creating small, artistic designs, to printing personal photos. I will not go anywhere else. I love their matte quality and professional attention to detail. Their prices vs their quality is unmatched It's one of the few places in town that allow square prints. And their staff always goes above and beyond to provide the most exceptional service. I cannot recommend this space enough!

This is the best place to go for passport or citizenship application photos for Canada (I'm sure…read morefor other non-US countries too) in the Des Moines area- and if you have infants or little kids for their US passport photos too. Sure if you're an adult, for US passports you could just have them taken at the post office if that's where you're submitting your app, but if you want/need photos done before submitting your US passport- definitely go to Christian photos above Walgreens/CVS, etc. They actually have proper lighting and the set up to do infants and younger kids, and the knowledge and patience to get it right. Print off a copy of the photo spec sheets to leave with them- they request that so that they can refer to it while sizing and printing the photos, to ensure they meet the specs. The attention to detail is appreciated. Save yourself the time and headache of asking around at all the drugstores and shipping places that do passport photos on the side, because those folks usually don't know how to change the settings on their machines to do anything beyond US passport photos, or just don't know how picky some other countries can be (Canada for example) about the specs, shadows, head and shoulders squared, etc. And definitely aren't going to be equipped to do all the takes it requires to do infants or little kid photos. It's only slightly more than doing them at a Walgreens, and well worth the peace of mind knowing that it's not going to get rejected because your photos weren't done correctly. If you need this type of photo- definitely go check out Christian photo!
