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.

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.

To get here I had to drive across the terrible traffic of university Maryland College Park and they always doing road work. So many speed camera on this stretch of road. The building is clean and offer vending if needed. This location offers many classes such as BLS, ACLS, PALS. I did my ACLS online and came to class for the hands on training. My instructor Kyle Hasting is a knowledgeable & chill dude who work at the station. All in all a good place to get your certification.

I took my very first…read moreInfant/Child CPR and First Aid class with them a few years ago and it was so informational and very hands on and overall made me feel very comfortable and confident to administrate CPR or First Aid to an infant or adult. Then when my certification expired, I took my recertification with them as well. There is a lot of information to get through, and you are able to do the lessons online before the class, so you can come to the class to practice hands on and put to use what you learned online. Doug and Stacy show you the proper procedures and correct any improper way or the wrong form you may use, so that you then will know the difference and be able to do everything properly. They have plenty of equipment for the entire class and new and modern equipment, so that you can be the most prepared to learn. I highly recommend this class especially for first time CPR and First Aid students and also for recertification. You will not be disappointed!

The staff is professional and non-judgmental, always ready to assist you in your success and ensure the safety of others who might need your help in the future. I highly recommend them!

First, I am not writing this review to discourage anyone from learning CPR...it is a very important…read moreand lifesaving piece of knowledge to have and I encourage everyone to learn it. However, I just have to give a warning for those of you out there who are HEALTHCARE professionals looking for a renewal class. DO NOT take this class at this school, especially with the instructor Cathy!! I am sure outside of class that Cathy is a nice enough lady, but she was the worst instructor I had ever had and I have been taking CPR for HC professionals for years in various locations. Her teaching style leaves a lot to be desired as she uses public humiliation to get her point across. Case in point, she makes every participant demonstrate in front of everyone until she is satisfied with your technique. And if you can't get it right, she will chastise you in front of your peers. Furthermore, her class is INCREDIBLY too long - we began at 830am sharp and I did not leave her class until after 130pm...and I was one of the first to be done with my written skills test. I am just sorry for those who took longer to complete the test! Adding to the incredibly long class, she took 45 minutes in the beginning of class for housekeeping....."signature here, signature there, wash your hands, let us all introduce us to each other, blah...blah" The class room is also in a very claustrophobic location, the ceiling was so low that I could touch it (I'm 5'4") and it has no windows. We also had no breaks aside from one 5 minute break for water and granola bars - which she provided, which was nice of her. But to top it off, she did not have us watch the usual video from the American Heart Association as she claimed the "machine was broken." When one of my fellow students offered up his laptop to show the DVD, she refused. I think she just wanted to hear herself drone on and on. This class took up almost my entire Saturday and went at a snail's pace for all of us who have taken the class before (i.e. renewers). I can't recommend this class as it was not a good example of a AHA sponsored class that usually takes 3 hours, tops! Avoid if possible.

I am very glad I came back here again for my renewal course. Similar to before, this was very…read moreinformative and the instructor was great and explained each step very well. Years later I would still recommend this class with Deborah!
