I searched the AHA website and found that this location had several classes and times available quite frequently during the week. I spoke to Larry over the phone to sort things out, and I was very pleased with the customer service he provided. Larry was extremely flexible with my needs for coursework and was able to find a spot for me in their classes. Tell them your plan for certification and Larry will definitely find a solution that works for you. The place had multiple classrooms and all the equipment necessary for my learning needs. My instructors, Lisa and Glen, were fun, interactive, and engaging teachers. I felt well prepared after my sessions were complete and I'm glad to make the trek out here to do it. These guys turned a stressful situation into a simple and streamlined process to getting me the certification I needed. I highly recommend them for your needs.

It seems that The Red Cross comes to everyone's mind after natural and man-made disasters befall our neighbors our friends and our nation. The recent and still occurring Hurricane Harvey has displaced Millions upon millions of residents in Texas and the South. Our nation's fourth most populous city, Houston inundated by relentless rain and flooding. The surrounding areas and neighboring States are next as this slow moving Hurricane releases Historic amounts rain and water. As I write this report, this monstrous disaster continues to still lumber across the South toward Louisiana and Florida. I could not believe the extent of the horrific heartbreaking damage and loss of property, until I viewed photos and videos of the heart-wrenching loss and witnessed The Bravery and the courage of so many who flew like angels to rescue so many millions. The American Red Cross is here to help all people who need them regardless of any condition. The wonderful volunteers provide them with a bed a hot meal a blanket Necessities to return to normal life. My Dear Yelp friends, You need not feel helpless. You can do something! All of us Americans and all of my generous wonderful friends the world over.. ALL of us@ We just have to .. we have to bind ourselves together and help these poor folks! it could have be us again ...as it was before. Together our little bit of money from each one of us will make a huge amount. Text "90999 to Harvey" .. It's just $10.. or whatever your generosity may allow you to give. Thanks for your help.

I have to tell you that these people are simply amazing! A fire last Friday the 1st of June at my…read moreCo/Op tossed about 25 of my neighbors out on the street. The Red Cross was at the scene about 5 minutes after the fire trucks and what an incredible job they did. As one of the temporarily displaced (I hope to be back in there in a few days once power is on) I have seen first hand just what these folks can do. We were all found rooms to spend the night, emergency provisions and of course, coffee and donuts. These incredible people are all volunteers - from the people who sat with the elderly victims to the people making coffee - all were incredibly wonderful. I urge anyone who reads this to make those donations - I always had in the past and now I can see just how worthy this organization is and how well spent the donations are.

I have been taking my BLS classes with CPR123 - Mineola for the past couple of years. The classes…read moreare suitable for both healthcare providers as well as non healthcare providers. They have several NY locations (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk) but I've only taken the Mineola ones as the times and location worked for me each time. I've had different instructors each class (all with healthcare backgrounds) but all of them were great. The class I took recently was with Paul. He was very knowledgeable and presented the information in a way that wasn't boring. Classrooms are clean with AC and working mannequins (they have lights that show if you're doing compressions correctly). There are also bathrooms available but I did not use them. You can book classes via their website or by calling them directly. I have done both with no issues. The staff at the front desk have always been pleasant. They will send you a confirmation email with more instructions so make sure you read that because if you're using GPS, it says to put Mineola and not Garden City. When I took my class, we were allowed to park on levels 1 and 3 marked for visitors. Check your email though in case that changes. Parking was free and plentiful. My class was on a weekday at 12:30pm. I've done all in person classes because I learn best that way so I can't comment on the online classes. I think with the online classes though you still have to come in to do the hands on portion. Once class is finished, you should receive the ecard within an hour or 2. If not, call them. Mine for some reason took 2 days but I didn't need it in a hurry. Cons: 1. There is no difference if you're doing an initial class or renewing. They used to have this option (renewal was cheaper and less time) but maybe it's just easier to have initial/renewal as the same. 2. There weren't much day and time options for the locations I was checking out (Mineola and Huntington) for July. It was either 8:30am or 12:30pm start. It would have been nice if they had some later start times or more weekend classes.

Registration is super easy, now there's no difference between first time certification and renewal which is great. In the era of covid, I opted to use the Mineola site for the first time and it was nice. Parking lot available with limited spots but there is also metered street parking as well. Cali was the instructor and I've had prior classes with her, she's fantastic and keeps things straight forward. The 3-4 hour class flew by! Have also had classes with Mike and he was superb! They all have tons of experience in emergency resuscitation. I have been to the Forest Hills and Manhattan locations also- however parking bites and I usually take the subway but I do not want to take public transport to get there until covid is more controlled.

Wholly unsatisfactory experience here. Signed up to take a cpr course at 1:30. I arrive at 1:35…read more The instructor is doing introductions with the students when I walk in. He asks me to wait outside and he'll be right with me. 20 minutes later he walks out and says that I'm actually 25 minutes late now and their policy is to not accept anyone more than 15 minutes late. Nowhere was this on time policy stated on any of the emails leading up to this class. Traffic is insane in New York City and it's a blessing to be just five minutes late for anything. I can't stop thinking of the smug look on the instructor's face as he delighted in telling me that he made me miss the course and wouldn't let me in. This is a pathetic excuse for a company. I would not recommend this experience to anyone. EDIT: above is truth. Below is lies. His own employees leave him google reviews. Why go to a place that stacks it's reviews. Just find someplace else and ensure you're treated with respect and dignity. Caveat emptor EDIT2: I've tried to contact the owner directly via phone and email. I get no response. He's only willing to talk to me over google or yelp reviews. If this is the sort of experience that you want from your CPR class then come here. If you want decent customer service then go ANYWHERE else. This dude says he has cameras but this course is literally done in a municipal rec center. It's not his facility. His company is trying to scam me. If you want lies then come here. If you want to take off of work only to be turned away after showing up five minutes late then come here. His google reviews are stacked. He's a scam artist and i hope everyone sees it. What sort of reasonable business owner would do this to a paying customer instead of just speaking to them directly? I tried to call him. I emailed him. He's got nothing. Stay away. Stay FAR FAR away I've added photos to document how they stack reviews and how the employer admitted to stacking reviews. Employer caught in a bald faced lie.
