Let me just say that my experience of getting certified here was the best I've ever had. I took an…read moreACLS course with Jim & he was such an awesome guy. I know these certification courses can drag on forever - watching videos, role playing, etc., but he makes it so fun by integrating stories and little acronyms/rhymes to make concepts stick. Also, he's a paramedic so he has tons of personal experience and really knows his stuff. Overall, solid people, solid place. If you want to be certified in CPR, ACLS, etc., definitely do it at CET with Jim & I promise it will be worthwhile!!

GUESS WHO'S BACK BACK AGAIN…read more It's me, Eminem hasn't released a song in years. Anyways, as I said before, I came back for my renewal! This time I had a class with Lauren. Again, great class, and I love the real world applications that you learn about. You get more practical advice and information in classes here than anywhere else. Both Lauren and Jim have years of experience, so you really do learn a lot - above and beyond the information you'll get from just the AHA material alone. 3 years later, still highly recommend!

Eh, it's easy and convenient to get your CNA certification so quick, however Miss Fatima is very…read moreset in her ways of thinking she knows best. Will get defensive if questioned about certain things, and at times passive aggressive. Very disorganized, make sure you're organized because they will not be. They are honestly a bit all over the place, especially Heidi and Angie. I don't think this is their fault, I think more structure needs to be put into place when Fatima is not around. Overall though it's quick, so if you can handle a few weeks of slight chaos (for a whopping $1700) it is fine.

I couldn't say better things about Rebekkah, if I did it would come off like a stalker. I love her,…read moreI have had her for both of my son's births. One with an epidural and one without. Her comfort of knowing what I needed and when I needed it was unmatched. Her knowledge about birth and positioning was amazing. She held what I valued and needed to a standard. And she was the strength I needed to continue on.

I found Rebekkah (supported serenity) through the Birth Center of Chicago's referral list, who…read moreworks in tandem with Amber (Lorelei Lu Doula), and after browsing many doula websites, I knew right away that they were the team I wanted by my side. They supported me through my entire prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey with such steady care.When the Birth Center of Chicago temporarily closed due to a staffing shortage, I had to transfer to Burr Ridge Birth Center (also wonderful!). Amber and Rebekkah ensured the transition was completely seamless, and I still felt fully supported during such a major change at seven months pregnant. Throughout my pregnancy, they offered calm reassurance and evidence-based guidance that truly prepared me for birth. I felt confident, grounded, and ready. Rebekkah attended my birth and later encapsulated my placenta--she even delivered the capsules with homemade cookies. During labor, her clear explanations of what was happening helped me stay present, focused, and connected to what my body was capable of. I'm endlessly grateful that I found them. I cannot recommend this doula team enough!

After reading the reviews, I was terrified of how long it would take…read more When I checked in, there were three people ahead of me and I was a walk-in, for a company initiated drug screening. As stated, there are no appointments for drug screens and you just wait in line. While I was there, someone walked in, stated their issue and was literally seen before they had a chance to take a seat. I was prepared for the long haul and was pleasantly surprised when I was seen in under 10 minutes. The process itself was quick and easy, no more than 3 minutes. My guess is that you just have to come at the right time. I was there at 3:45pm on a Friday, so that might be something to consider. The reason for the lost star is that the admin at the front wasn't the most friendly... but the staff in the back made up for it.
