Shoreline Fire Dept is the best place to get your CPR training. Whether it's your first time learning it or if you just need a review and get re-certified.
First, the person on the phone was very friendly, patient and answers all your questions without making you feel like you're taking up their time.
Second, the headquarter building is pretty new, so everything is clean and neat.
Thirdly, and most importantly, the CPR training personnel are friendly normal everyday people, except that they're professional EMT's and Firefighters.
Their goal is not so you memorize everything they tell you and score 100% on a test, but that you feel comfortable doing CPR so you can make yourself useful if/when the time comes. It was really nice for them to share some of their experiences cuz it really makes you realize the value of the life saving skills they're teaching you.
The basic CPR class was $15, it covered adult, child, infant CPR and the AED. There was written test, and i think that helped people relax and really focus on learning the stuff.
I've taken CPR from other places over the years, ie the American Red Cross and other private CPR training folks. Shoreline Fire Dept was the best learning experience I've had, and it didn't even take the whole Saturday morning like it said on the website. They are professional, and they make you feel respected. This will probably the best experience you'll ever get with CPR training. : ) read more
