Lori was absolutely awesome. My family hired Lori to teach us CPR, the heimlich, and how to use an…read moreAED. We didn't get certified but took a class to know what to do in the case of an emergency. She kept the class moving along, told interesting and engaging anecdotes, and my favorite part was that Lori's extensive experience showed and was so valuable as a learner. I'm pretty sure she has gotten every question you could ever think of on what to do in emergencies, and she's patient, kind and just a great teacher.

Lori is fantastic, I just got certified with four others. Lori was on time and is extremely…read moreknowledgeable. Heartwise is the only way to go I highly recommend.

I strongly feel that CPR is one of those things that you should take in person. An online course…read morejust doesn't cut it. You don't get the feedback and to ask questions that arise as you're going through the process. I received tips and hints on correcting my form, my placement and I kept forgetting to plug the mannequin's nose. I remember now from the feedback. You just wouldn't get that online. You also get the tactile practice and a better sense of things. It's more similar to a real life situation. The other students also had questions just arose as you're practicing and it was informative and information I wanted to know as well. As a new parent, I feel much better about being able to handle an emergency. The class is definitely worth it and David is a great instructor! He is very responsive and helpful.

My husband and I took the friends and family class recently with David. This class was absolutely…read morefantastic. As a soon to be first time mom, I wanted to receive training in CPR in case I ever needed it with my child. However, many of the licensure classes are pretty expensive. I don't need the actual license for my job. This is just a skill I want to have in case of an emergency. Well the friends and family class with Dave was $50 per couple. This means my husband and I were both able to take the class for $50. We got a little booklet and a chance to practice on the dummies. Also, the class was shorter than most since it only covered children and infants. It was about an hour and 45 minutes instead of 3 hours for some classes. It was engaging and informational. David answered everyone's questions and kept your attention. It was a great class to take for first time parents, grandparents, or anyone responsible for taking care of a child. Just keep in mind, you don't get a license and the Friends and Family class only covers infants and children.

I completed my BLS and ACLS certification courses here. Bill was my instructor and the class was…read moregreat. He kept it interesting and we went through all the topics throughly so that I felt confident that I would pass the exam at the end. For the ACLS course he ordered us whatever jimmy John sandwhich we wanted. And not one of those half-can-barely-feed-a-bird type sandwiches. The real deal along with refreshments. Advice: before you purchase the book call them or send them an email. While CPR Now has great prices on the courses (and bundle price savings which is what I did), you can even get better deals by checking in on yelp, following them on Facebook or twitter, or even emailing them if they have any last minute specials running to fill a class.
