We recently took a CPR training class as new parents, wanting to feel confident and prepared before introducing solids to our baby and we're so glad we did. My husband and I attended a class taught by Michael, and he was fantastic. The class was very hands-on, engaging, and even fun, which made it easy to stay focused and really absorb the information. Michael explained everything clearly and kept it simple to understand, which we really appreciated. We walked away feeling much more confident and equipped with the knowledge we'd need to step in as first responders if an emergency ever arose. I would absolutely recommend booking a class with them; whether you need recertification, have a baby or young child, need it for work, or are just curious to learn. It was such a worthwhile experience, and knowing our certification is good for two years gives us great peace of mind. read more

I would highly recommend their organization to any group or individual seeking recertification or a first time certification. read more

PROTERA CPR - CPR Classes Near Me

I can't say enough good things about Mike and Protera CPR! My husband and I planned to take an infant CPR class before we had our baby girl, but didn't quite have time. So, we were so appreciative that Mike was a-ok with us bringing her to the class. He was easy to email in getting all the class information and always promptly responded. Wow was the class even more insightful than I even anticipated. The class covered CPR/AED and First Aid Training, better to learn it all! These useful skills are really something that everyone should know, from being able to help your loved ones, a stranger in need or even yourself. Mike was a great teacher and even had the class practice with CPR manikins, which was beyond helpful to actually go through the motions and steps. I've never been the best student but his teaching style will make you interested and gives you a way to remember all the material. As a new parent we panic at the idea of our child being in need and being helpless, but upon completing the class my husband and I are so empowered having this life saving knowledge. Look no further, Protera CPR is ahead of the competition and truly is the best! read more

The Protera CPR Staff are quick to respond to inquiries. They appeared to understand my urgency to schedule for my BLS certification. I was invited to participate in a private party's class in order to receive the training that I needed in order to meet my goals. The class was informative, I was comfortable to ask questions and the instructor was patient to my asking questions. The instructor (Mike) wanted to be certain that all the students learned the info and would successfully pass the test, so he offered a review for us. This was a positive experience and I highly recommend Protera CPR. read more

I have been in the fitness industry most of my life and have taken many, many CPR courses with various instructors over the years and I have to say, that Michael is an outstanding Instructor and Coach. The training was smooth. My wife and I own a Martial Arts Fitness business and we brought Protera 33 in to our Academy to teach and certify our instructors and coaches. We had about a dozen in our group (we are all teachers and coaches and know how to identify strengths & weaknesses in teaching styles) and every one of us in participation was extremely impressed with how Michael presented the information and delivered the course. We will continue to have Protera 33 as our CPR Certification company of choice. Outstanding! read more

I have been training with Michael 2 days a week for about 6 months now. Working with a Performance Coach of this caliber has been a great experience for me and has positively impacted both my physical and mental wellbeing. One thing I really appreciate about Michael is that he takes the time to understand what you want to get out of your training with him and he customizes everything. Every session is something new and exciting. We set goals together and he does everything he can to ensure I hit them. He even sends me a text later in the day after a workout to check in on me and remind me to stay hydrated. He is very knowledgable and patient, and he always makes sure that I'm using safe and proper form. In my opinion, Michael has the perfect background for Protera 33: Strong background in health and safety, personal training, masters degree in Education, and a passion for helping people. I thoroughly enjoy my mornings with Michael. read more
