Renewed my BLS this weekend and it went well. My instructor Marie Pauyo was great. She had great energy & kept the class very interesting. Loved how she explained the different concepts and that the mannequins were able to give visual feedback on our compressions. Will continue to come to CPR123 for all my renewals. Will return next year for my PALS & ACLS renewals. All my instructors have been excellent! read more

See all

I've gone here multiple times to renew either ACLs or PALS! The instructors are very good and it's a great learning environment!

Best BCLS Renewal course I've attended in my 44 years of nursing! Venue was centrally located, clean, comfortable, with small class size! My teacher, Mamata Singh, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, thorough, well organized with the ability to make the class stimulating and fun! Looking forward to registering for ACLS Renewal course! read more

I just completed my BLS Healthcare Provider recertification course with CPR123 about an hour ago. I've been a Licensed Athletic Trainer since 2014 and have to keep all of my certifications up to date every year or two. So as you can imagine, I've taken my share of CPR/AED classes. With that being said, our BLS instructor today was perhaps the best I've ever had the privilege of learning from. Her name is Marie Pauyo and she is super engaging, charismatic, funny, patient, and experienced. You can immediately tell that she is a wealth of knowledge and has an unbridled passion for people, healthcare and teaching. There was a blend of people in the class, ranging from fellow Licensed Professionals to lay folks and she did a great job adjusting and providing individualized attention accordingly. I was curious a moment ago and did a search for her name within their reviews (https://www.yelp.com/biz/cpr123-inc-manhattan-new-york?q=marie) and there are 10 other folks who wrote 5 stars about her. They all echo similar sentiments, so you know today is no fluke! I wish I had more teachers like her throughout my academic career and highly encourage anyone who is looking to take a CPR/AED or Heartsaver course to sign up with her. Also, shoutout to the front desk and their phone receptionist (I believe it's a national phone line) as they also rock. Everyone at this company seems to be helpful, down to earth, and super personable (not just because they laugh at my jokes... but I do like that). Thanks ya'll! read more

Scheduled a 12:30 to 4:30 class with instructor Andrew Roa, was 20 minutes late due to traffic and thankfully he let me in. Class was super easy, the instructions were very simple and start forward which made the test easy as well. Was officially certified within a week. Recommending site to all my friends. Front desk was very nice as well. read more

Andrew is awesome. Very quick and to the point and very in depth. Will remember how to do cpr forever.

What a fantastic experience! The establishment is nicely located in Midtown on Madison btw 39th & 40th. Easy access to public transportation & lots of food options for when its lunch time. The office itself is neat and clean. The room temp is great b/c the Forest Hills office is freezing! (Still nice people but freezing) Upon entry you get registered at the front desk and then the instructor tells you to go into the designated classroom. ACLS with Mr. Mike Russo was great! He knows his sh*t! He was such a pleasure! He made ACLS fun & easy to understand. He kindly gave wonderful examples, stories, and answered everyones questions fully all pertaining to the content. There are videos to watch, mock codes, and of course you need the proper book. (They sell it if you don't have it.) There is a bathroom on the floor (ask for the key.) Ps. Theres a water cooler just in case you forget to bring any. Def recommend this location and instructor Russo. Ty CPR123 read more

Excellent instructors. Made learning fun and effective. Drawback: not the most friendly customer service.

This is my second time completing a CPR BLS Recertification with CPR123, and the experience was just as smooth and enjoyable. I purchased the class online through their website and called for the affiliate discount code of 10% (they offer this for anyone employed at one of the major hospitals, so be sure to call and check!). They have many available class times, including weekends. It is advertised as a 5 hour class, but we finished an hour early. Our instructor Moe was friendly, energetic, and made the class engaging by giving us many scenarios to practice with. Each section began with watching some short videos, followed by a recap and demo by Moe, and a hands-on practice session with the mannequins and breathing equipment. We went through 1 person and 2 person CPR, rescue breathing, use of the bag valve mask, use of an AED, and choking support for infants, kids, and adults. At the conclusion of the class, there is a 25 question multiple choice test which is fairly easy. You can use the class manual that you are required to purchase for the course, and you are given the results immediately upon completion. The e-card is usually emailed to you within 1 business day. I would definitely recommend purchasing the hard copy of the manual instead of the e-book, unless you are prepared to bring a laptop or tablet to class. You are not allowed to access the ebook on a cellphone. Overall, this was a great experience and I will be returning for future recertifications! read more

This is my second time taking this course and the instructor, Moe, was amazing! He made the bls class very engaging, memorable, and fun! He explained it to us very well and helped us practice our skills. His stories also helped me remember everything that was taught today!! I genuinely felt from Moe that he really wanted us to do well :) read more

Convenient location, efficient BLS class and enthusiastic instructor (Moe). This is my 3rd time using them for my cert!

I needed to renew my ACLS/BLS. Typically there are courses through whichever institution I'm at that offer it for free but I was unable to attend this year. CPR123 in Manhattan was pretty fluid. The BLS renewal was mainly online; there are videos and then mock scenarios that are timed which at first took me by surprise but you the hang of it pretty quickly. Ben was our instructor for ACLS and he made the course as painless as possible; he was entertaining and efficient. I got my BLS/ACLS cards via email by the time I got back home. I highly recommend them! read more

The instructor, Paul, was great!! He was knowledgeable and helpful. He kept the class moving at a quick, dynamic pace and interspersed the AHA data with interesting and relevant real-life clinical scenarios from his time in the field. Thanks so much for being a great teacher!!! Highly recommend!! read more

I completed CPR training and First Aid yesterday with Marie. I found the signup process and scheduling to be very easy. Marie was an excellent teacher and was clearly very qualified. She shared multiple stories from her experiences as a first responder. The classroom was clean and professional and I would highly recommend it! read more

This training was hands on, short & sweet. Very effective course with instructor MOE. He was awesome & very informative. I would take this training course against aby day. read more

This review is for the in-person BLS class with COVID updates. Instructor Mo (full name Modesto, if you are registering online) at the Manhattan location was great. He was engaging, followed safety protocols, and made sure to provide relevant examples. I did not feel like anything valuable was lost with the social distancing and we still got hands-on experience to practice the skills. I recommend this course over the BLS one with the American Red Cross that I have previously taken. Also- call the # on the website prior to registering for a discount code if you are hospital affiliated. Thanks Mo! read more

Great staff, great ACLS class. I learned a lot of useful, practical information read more

I had to get recertified for Basic Life Support and a colleague introduced me to this company. The office is in a central location and very close to Grand Central, so easy for everyone to get to. The office is clean with helpful staff. The instructor was very good, spoke clearly, was able to answer all my questions and ran good simulations. Getting recertified was easy as pie and I'll definitely keep this place in mind when I have to come for other classes. read more

I took the BLS Class for healthcare professionals. Great class! This is the second time I've renewed my class at CPR123. I've been a RN for 17 years and this is the most straightforward, painless process that I've ever experienced. There are knowledgable and experienced instructors, and good teaching materials and videos. Thanks! See you in 2 years! :-) Oh yeah, convenient location too. Just blocks from Grand Central and lots of food and shopping in the area. read more

I renewed my BLS for the 2nd time here with CPR123. First time at the classroom setting and recently for the online BLS class. I have to say they improved so much in supplying information to students over 2 years. I learned so much from them and feel so confident now to deliver my skills at work. I've also taken ACLS recently in the classroom setting, taught by Nemo. This instructor was so informative by clearly delivering information in the simplest way possible, experienced with 16 years of paramedics experience, and had such a great sense of humor that made this class so enjoyable -- I will definitely come back from this great class experience. read more

I'm a traveling RN from Houston here for Covid crisis. Wonderful experience. Awesome instructor. Highly recommend them. Really considering taking their ACLS class while here. read more

Back again for another round of re-certifications for my BLS, ACLS, and PALS. I only come for the skills testing as I prefer to do the online courses (part 1) at home so I can't comment on the quality of their in-person classes, but I'm sure they're great. I had all my skills testing back-to-back with my instructor Mike. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great instructor. Highly recommend! read more

I have been doing my certifications and recertifications at this site for a long time. Both instructors (Mary, Mike) for acls and pals are great and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend this location. read more

Definitely recommend! Our instructor Ben was efficient and enthusiastic, and I really appreciated his energy and humor (even when faced with a super dry bunch, like the class I was with). ACLS course was helpful, relevant, easy to understand-- might be a bit quick for a first timer or brand new healthcare person, but for renewals and oops-I-let-it-lapse folks this was perfect. Thank you guys!! read more

I love coming here for my CPR reviews. Staff and instructors are extremely nice. Instructors make it easy to pass the class with their great teaching. They even provided me with a room to pump in after class. Accommodating to all. read more

I usually renew my bls at my hospital but because of covid , our classes were very limited and always full. I first heard of this through my colleagues and they said it was very fast and efficient. The company's website was a bit hard to navigate and I booked an in person bls renewal course instead of an online renewal with a quick in person skills review. I called to inquire about the difference between the online course and in person bls renewal course and also if I could enroll into the online course and pay the difference for the online. Since the online costs more, I don't see why not. My interaction with the receptionist Tiffany wasn't pleasant. She was short with her explanations and pretty much told me no refunds , no exchanges and if I want the online course, I could cancel the in person renewal bls and enroll into the online one but I will not get any refund. I felt I was put into blame for not reading between the fine lines and I should suck it up and deal with it which I did. The renewal bls course is the same as a newbie bls course. We were placed with brand new students and seasoned ones. Although the course indicated 4 hours , we completed the entire course in 2 hours which includes a 20 min break and paper test. My instructor was very fast and efficient. We each had our own adult and baby mannequins to practice. I would definitely recommend cpr123 to my colleagues. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars was my bad interaction with Tiffany. She really needs to improve on her customer service with her tone and delivery... read more

By far the best CPR instructor I have ever encountered in my 10years of taking this a CPR class. Amazing front desk worker(Jessie Woo), and the instructor was so hands on and so interesting when giving course. I recommend them and will be back. read more

Every staff was nice and friendly. The course itself was very well taught and easily understood.

Decided to go here for BLS certification and this place offered the cheapest price out of the rest. I was also impressed by how easy the whole process is. You sign up and pay online after choosing your preferred time. You show up, check in, finish the course, and they then send you an e-certificate via email. The instructor was very concise, with a great sense of humor. I learned a great deal. There were plenty of hands on learning along with some video clips. After a 2-3 hour lecture session, you take an exam at the end which should be very easy if you paid attention. Definitely recommend! I have taken a CPR class before and it was so dry and not that much hands on practice, but CPR123 definitely gives more than enough!! I have yet to receive my e-certificate though... hmmm. I do not remember if they said it will be sent within 2 days. If I do not update, you can just assume that I got my certificate lol. read more

Overall great environment, instructor Marie,was very knowledgeable and detailed, she explained and taught the course very well I would definitely recommend this company to many people. read more

Two years later for my ACLS/BLS renewal and CPR 123 and instructor Nemo did not disappoint! This company and Nemo make ACLS simple, entertaining and "painless" as well as informative with many anecdotes and real world scenarios. Go no where else! See you in 2 years, thanks! read more

I had to find a place quickly to take CPR/BLS as I am an RN and I had let my card lapse (oops). It is super easy to sign up for the class on line. The communication from CPR 123 was excellent and I got a reminder the day before. I was greeted warmly and informed I was the only one in the class. Marie was my instructor. She is an excellent teacher. She covers the material thoroughly and concisely and is an excellent teacher. I would highly recommend this place. My experience the last many years being employed in a hospital was the misery I went through of doing the on line classes and on line simulations which are horrible. I really enjoyed this 1:1 interactive class. read more

I have been looking forward to see Nemo again as my instructor but found out he left to Florida. He was effective in teaching the BCLS & ACLS class. I renewed my cpr and Marie is equally great. She is direct and provides essential information that sticks to your head even days after the class. I would return again. read more

Absolutely fantastic! The online courses for ACLS and PALS were really excellent and then the in-class portion was great as well! I felt very prepared and this course was exactly what I needed with my busy schedule!!! read more

Best CPR class I have ever taken. Gabe is skilled and focused but not militant. Lots of hands on skills practice. Going back for ACLS next month. Just took ACLS with Nemo. Best ACLS CLASS EVER taken in my last 20+ years of nursing. He doesn't teach you the test or shortcuts. He makes you tune out the noise and focus on how to keep the patient alive, trust your knowledge, use the algorithms - all Critical to best practice. Thank you! read more

Can I give this place 10 stars? My instructor Nemo was fantastic, he is smart, approachable and extremely engaging. I have taking this course a bunch of time and I must say this is the best class I have ever had. CPR 123 has a lot advanced technology that makes learning fun and easy. I highly reccoment this course to anyone. read more

Update for Renewal.....I had to renew the BLS and had another great experience with Modesto Gomez. The renewal class was excellent Modesto is well versed and takes him time to explain each concept......I enjoyed my experience and recommend this instructor as well! Job well done...Keep up the good work! read more

I took my BLS, PALS and ACLS here and it was worth every penny. You can sign up for courses (online or in class) as needed or for package deals. I personally like hands on classes because I feel I retain more. My instructors (Marie, Mike and Stacey respectively) were very knowledgeable and used their real life experiences in addition to course material to get the information across. They kept the classes engaging, fun and done in a timely fashion. The class sizes allowed time for everyone's questions to be answered and for instructors to focus on students who need help. Will definitely continue to go back to them as long as they're around and encourage everyone else to try them as well. Whether it's your first time or you need to recertify you can't go wrong. And bonus you get e-cards now so you literally never have to worry about lost cards again. read more

Referred by peers who took the course before me and raved about it, I went into the ACLS class with high expectations... ... expectations that were easily met and exceeded by instructor, Nemo (yes, like the ----). Taught with humor and intelligence supported by real world experience, it was easy to stay involved. Nemo cared enough to learn our names, our background, and tie it all in with his teaching. He prefaced his class with something along the lines of: "it's your time, it's your phone, do what you need to do" attitude, but if people were dying to text and Instagram, I would've never known-- that's how engaging this class was. By aiming for ME to succeed and be a better HCP, Nemo made the class extremely positive experience that I would recommend to everyone. At the end of the day, do I feel like I could run a code and save a heart? Totally. (Knock on wood) read more

I been taking my BLS , ACLs and PALs here for the past 3 years , I learn so much with these classes. The instructors are very knowledgeable and amazing, to name a few Nemo, Marie, and Mike. Thank you all read more
