What better way to start the new year than driving 10 miles on an unforgivingly chilly - and icy -…read moreSaturday morning for CPR training, right? I've been to my share of first aid and CPR courses and today's was my third in the U.S. alone, but the experience was so exceptional that I felt I needed to share it! CPR/AED is a useful skill for anyone regardless of industry but especially in my line of work - healthcare -, and I needed to renew my Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers certification, which is valid or two full years once you complete the lecture, hands-on skills training, and a written quiz. Beating Hearts CPR is an American Heart Association-approved training provider, and their training courses seem to be held on certain Saturdays. The training site is located on level 3 of a business building with Capital One bank on the ground level, and the building was pretty much on lockdown. According to the security staff on site, you need to call Wayne , the training coordinator, who will come down to let you into the building and take you up to the training room. Donna is an experienced nurse and was the lead trainer, and I cannot stress enough that they care, they're prepared, and they're professional. All equipment was not only visibly clean and well-maintained, but they were meticulously laid out and distributed to each student ahead of each section of the training, and the hybrid instruction method using up-to-date AHA instructional videos and verbal presentation was seamlessly delivered to help me stay engaged and focused the entire 3+ hours. Both instructors were also courteous but also laid back, and their sense of humour made the training fun and enjoyable rather than feeling like a chore, which unfortunately is often the case. Recommended!

We took the childbirth education and cpr classes…read more I'd recommend them. One class was held at Nidhi's residence (separate from her home) and another was at an office location in Arlington. The instructors were great. Nidhi is very knowledgeable, friendly, and open. The class sizes were pretty small and you're encouraged to ask lots of questions. There were also snacks and water which are important to me since i was pregnant and didn't want to go 2+ hours not eating/drinking anything. My husband and I brought sandwiches to one class and we were able to eat them during the class (it was around dinner time/6pm) so atmosphere is casual which I appreciate. You get an online resource packet after the class that summarizes everything covered. Should probably look at that again as i am typing this before my gassy, ornery newborn wakes up.

As a first time aunt with no previous experience with infants, I was seeking resources to help me…read morelearn the basics. it was surprisingly difficult to find information that wasn't just about pregnancy and delivery, when I was really looking for things like feeding holding, changing and what to expect in the first few months. Nested's Newborn Care/ Infant CPR Bootcamp absolitely knocked it out of the park. I learned SO MUCH about the stages baby's are going through when they're first born, the routines you're establishing, the techniques you can use to care for them and more. Renie and Migma are so nice, and so clearly so committed to what they do, I felt extremely comfortable and confident under their instruction. The class imparts so much information in a 4-hour course, and the cherry on top is that after completing the in-person and online class imparts now Red Cross certified for both Adult and Infant CPR, and feel confident in both. Even Though I myself am not expecting, I was welcomed and encouraged in my desire to learn. Whether you're an expecting parent or a loved one seeking to prepare to be an involved member of a child's early life, i really can't recommend Nested and specifically the Newborn Care bootcamp highly enough! Absolutely worth the value!

Took a Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Exam here. The Proctors were friendly and…read moreprofessional, but unfortunately they do not get the support they need from the IT and Admin staff in order to offer these exams in a timely manner. The first time I took the exam, the Proctor spent an hour trying to get in contact with a member of FCPS's IT staff to get the license for the software needed to take my exam. This delay definitely took me off my game, and may have been a contributing factor to my failing of the exam by one question. For my retake, it was discovered while I was waiting for the exam that PC used to proctor the exam had not been updated, and would take until after 9pm at night to finish updating. Luckily, the Proctor was willing to come in on her off day so that I could take the exam before my certification deadline. In addition, scheduling the exams were a massive pain, with the admin staff in charge of registration often transferring my call to a person not in the office, resulting in having to play phone tag for over an hour in order to get the exam scheduled each time. Although the Proctors were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond the call of duty, the lack of support from the rest of FCPS's Adult and Community Education staff proved to be extremely detrimental to my experience, which is why I must give them a 2 star review. Until this situation changes, I can not recommend FCPS's ACE program to anyone.

As her mother's health began to rapidly decline, Charity found herself immersed in distress and heartbreak, similar to those she served.

The class was fun, educational and most-importantly, taught me how to help save a life. I would highly-recommend this to anyone who needs CPR certification for their job or just to prepare yourself for the possibility of needing it. I last learned it in high school and alot has changed, including how to use the AED. I got my 2-year certification card on the spot. Their number is 703-584-3184 if you need to get certified.
