The class was very educational and straightforward, and the instructor for my course was great. Highly recommend if you prefer the convenience of completing from home!

I ordered a mannequin for the at home skills session and contacted the company to schedule my session. I received no response regarding a skills session but did get several notices that they were going to charge me a fee for not returning my mannequin by a certain date. I checked in multiple times to schedule but still didn't get a response. Obviously I am not going to return the mannequin until I complete the skills check. I finally heard back after my deadline, but what I heard wasn't an apology or any effort at resolving the matter in a constructive way. I was called derogatory names, and the owner called me three times just to yell obscenities at me. He then sent his administrative director after me to threaten to write bad Healthgrades reviews about me and file a lawsuit. At the end of it all, I never received any apology or even any offer at scheduling that skills check. Completely inappropriate and childish. They deserve all their bad reviews.

    Dear reader, The…read moreAmerican Red Cross donation centre is one of those rare places I am always genuinely happy to return to. I donate every time I am eligible, like clockwork, and the experience here has been consistently excellent. There is tons of parking, which makes arriving easy, and the building itself is nice, clean, and well set up for a smooth visit. Inside, there are plenty of chairs, and I have rarely had any issue with a long wait, provided I have made an appointment, which I always do. The whole process feels organised and efficient without ever feeling rushed. More importantly, the staff are so nice, skilled, and reassuring, and they truly seem to love what they do. That sort of energy makes a real difference when one is sitting there preparing to part with a pint. I also must give a proper shoutout to Trina and Flora, who have done my donation a few times and absolutely rock. They are kind, capable, and the sort of people who make you feel completely at ease. A final point in this establishment's favour: the snacks are great, which is no small matter after donating. Overall, this is a thoroughly well-run place doing important work, and I will happily keep coming back.

    Fairfax, VA - I've been giving blood for years. I prefer this location rather than the mobile units…read moreas I believe the phlebotomists here have more experience since this location also does platelets and power reds. My best advice to avoid scheduling issues is to schedule an early morning appointment. By late afternoon things can sometimes be backed up causing a longer wait. Another plus to this location is they no longer have to prick your finger to test your iron level prior to donating. Now they use a device that is placed on your thumb which uses light to detect your blood iron. Pretty nifty! The donation process takes place in comfy chairs and goes by quickly if you remember to hydrate ahead of time. The phlebotomists are all very professional and take care to check on you throughout the process. The snacks afterwards in the canteen vary. I had Oreos, Cheese It's and Lorna Doones. One small beef I have is there's no recycling bin for the water bottles. I try to remember to bring my own reusable bottle or I bring the empty home to recycle.

    I was looking for an affordable and convenient way to get re-certified to work at a gym when I…read morestumbled across VA CPR & First Aid (certification provided through the American Heart Association). The VA CPR & First Aid website was extremely easy to navigate. The course was offered (and displayed in a calendar online) more than once on a weekend during the month making it easy for me to find a class that fit my schedule. Michelle (who taught the class) was very responsive when I asked her questions via email. I asked about dates and payment and usually got a response within 42 hours. As an instructor she was clear and friendly. The location of the course (tucked inside a commercial office space) was a doable drive from the Alexandria, VA area. If you take a course here please note there is a limited number of food options that are within walking distance (when you break for lunch). The closest place to get something to go is the Dunkin Donuts accross the street. I thought the price with the book (100 for the class, 20 for the book) was fair when compared to similar courses. I have taken the American Red Cross certification (more than once). I thought the way the American Red Cross presented the material 4 years ago to me was more hands on than the American Heart Association. Specifically, with the first aid course material. If my memory serves me correctly, I remember doing a lot more hands on demonstrations when I got certified by the American Red Cross than by the American Heart Association. In a nutshell its a good option if you need to get certified in a quick time frame and live in the northern VA area but if this is your first time getting certified specifically for first aid I would look at the American Red Cross' certification courses first.
