We had about 12 people in our class, most of them taking the class as a requirement for their job (like me, too). We powered through all of the modules without breaks (we all agreed on this, of course) and were done an hour earlier! It will take you half a day to complete the course. You will do exercises (wrapping a bandage, CPR, AED operation and more tasks) but there is no written test for certification, just participation. My colleague and I walked out feeling more confident and equipped to handle situations that could arise at work (we deal with the public when we are open, so it is a requirement on our employer to take the class). I will sign up again when I have to re-certify in two years with this company.

AHA Approved!!!! --…read more Great class! It was informative with videos and hands-on training. There were a bunch of adult AND baby sized manikins that would blink red or green lights as you're doing compressions. Quan made it really easy to understand, and was super patient with everyone. He asked us if we wanted him to repeat any information for us and really taught us all of the necessary steps. About a 3 1/2 hour course and you can easily register online or even pay in person $$ The woman who was helping us sign in would wipe down the manakins with disinfectant right after we used them. This is the most affordable class I've found and I'm glad I took it. I didn't expect it to be so interactive but I'm glad it was!!

The only thing about this current location is that, parking may be limited if you don't arrive a little early. Many of parking spaces are marked and reserved for the neighboring businesses.

It was easier than driving into class, but still had to go into class for check offs. This place has clean restrooms, snack station with coffee and tea available.

I cannot stress how chill and nice he was. The course was taking a toll on my physical and mental health, but Scottie's cheerful optimism kept me going. He truly embodies positive energy and makes lectures so much more bearable. His storytelling and advice were very eye-opening as well. I regret not approaching him for help more often. However, unsurprisingly, it's very rigorous. For anyone looking at an 8-week course, you will spend 20 hours a week: 10 hours on lectures (MW or TTh; 5 hours each) and 10 on skills (Sunday); of course, with breaks in between. Lectures will cover 6 chapters per week, and you will take lecture exams every weekend on the day of your skills instruction. You should be able to dedicate a huge amount of time to reading through the course material (at least 20 hours imo). So please reconsider your decision if you're planning to work or study full-time during the course. Otherwise, give it a shot! Be cool and professional, and most important of all, make sure you have a great time. I promise you, it'll be worth it.
