Vital CPR has been the most thorough training I've had due to Joel's background as a firefighter paramedic. He took his time and made sure everyone understood what we were reviewing/learning. He let us bring out our first aid kit and explained all the medications, how and when to administer them and why. Vital CPR training will be our go to and we will be recommending him to everyone. Thank you Joel! read more

I am a repeat customer (2nd time), 1st time did PALs certification and this time for BLS/ACLS recertification. I chose to use Joel @ Vital CPR Training because of the quality and integrity of the instruction I receive. Joel is highly skilled in teaching, not just method. He incorporates techniques that make the class both interesting and informative. He is truly concerned that all students finish the class with the knowledge and skills needed to save lives - not just receive a card. An excellent class! I will be using again for my PALs renewal. read more

Joel was a great instructor! He is knowledgeable and patient, made learning fun. I would highly recommend him.

Joel was very punctual, professional, and most importantly to the point with the material that needed to be taught for my PALS renewal course. The videos we watched were pertinent to my job. What was most important to me was the flexibility of having the option to have the training done in my own house, all I needed was a DVD player to watch the different scenarios. Not to mention those who feel stressed out or anxious about having to run mock codes, Joel did these together with us and explained what we should be looking for and how to proceed, no being put on the spot and you trying to guess what to do next. Totally a stress free environment with open dialogue the whole time. I would highly recommend these renewal sessions to other nurses, he offers training for BLS, PALS, ACLS, and heart saver first aid. read more

Took PALS and BLS renewal a few years ago with Joel as my instructor, and was happy to renew again this year. Very professional, excellent explanations, and very thorough. Brought all the equipment, got to practice with all the mannequins, and even got to play with a new heimlich bladder that shot a nerf dart out. Would recommend to anybody to try Joel out. read more

Joel was very professional. He went over material that make more sense for my job. The videos we watched were great. He was flexible with my busy schedule and best part was he was able to this in my own home. Felt stressed free about having to run mock codes, Joel did these together with me and explained what we should be looking for and how to proceed. I would highly recommend his renewal sessions to other nurses or medical professionals, he offers training for BLS, PALS, ACLS, and heart saver first aid. read more

I took Joel's CPR/AED/First Aid class recently in preparation of my growing family. I cannot thank Joel enough for teaching a fantastic course, tied with real world experience. At no point in the class, were the students lacking engagement as Joel keeps the course extremely interactive. Would highly recommend! read more

Super great training course! Made a usually boring class informative and interesting!!

Worth it! Joel is a professional through and through. He is very accommodating and flexible when it comes to scheduling courses.

I reached out to Joel to instruct my group of 11/12 year old Girl Scout troop on getting CPR & first aid ferried as one of their journey badges. From the start, Joel was quick to respond, very friendly, helpful and overall reassuring he could handle the task of teaching 8, young girls CPR. The day of the class he was early to set up and ready to go when we scheduled. He was so patient with the many questions the troop had and answered each of them which made them feel heard. He made the girls feel comfortable and allowed each of them to grow at their own pace. Overall I would highly recommend Joel! read more

Joel is amazing! He showed up early with his mask on and respected all covid social distancing rules. He was able to teach outside and was well equipped with manikins, AEDS and video for lecturing. I have been in healthcare for 18 years as a nurse and have taken many bls, acls and pals courses. Joel is one of the best and could break important concepts down into easy chunks of information that can be remembered in an emergency. I would recommend Joel without reservation. AND he comes to you which is so much less stressful! read more

If you need any class (CPR, BLS, ACLS) especially for a renewal, and you don't want to sit through a long class or do several hours online, then Joel is your guy! He can meet you anywhere, for an individual or a small group class. He goes through the DVD with you, hits the high points, does demo and skills with you, has a rhythm generator, and gives you the test at the end. I renewed my ACLS in 3 hours and it was so pain free. Joel is an excellent and very kind instructor- he knows what materials to teach and backs it up with experience. I strongly recommend! :) read more

Great course, provided by knowledgeable instructor. I was able to get a private course with Joel. He brought all of his equipment to my house, and was very educational. I was certified and recieved my BLS eCard from AHA the next day. read more

Joel Gallamore is the perfect instructor if you are looking to update your ACLS,PALS, or BLS. It was very smooth to set up a time for him to come over to our dental office and teach us everything that was required. He is very prepared with all the equipment, charts & videos to teach the class. He makes sure everyone understands and repeats the steps if needed. As a dentist, I highly recommend Joel. Give him a call & set up an appointment. read more

This was by far the most laid back, non-stressful way to take PALS or BLS! Joel's knowledge of both subjects is extremely comprehensive! He is mobile so you can be comfortable in any environment! Very flexible when trying to schedule this course. Overall, very satisfied! read more

Joel is very knowledgeable and NO STRESS at all. It's my first time taking ACLS . He can come to you , very punctual and professional . We watch the DVD , he explained thoroughly , we did mock codes and take an exam right after. I will definitely use him again. He is a certified AHA instructor. A++++++. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Joel was thorough and answered all the questions I had. Definitely will use him in the future.

It's been a really long time since I took ACLS so when it came time to renew I knew I'd need a more personalized class. Joel was very nice and made everything very easy to understand. Plus, he can teach you anywhere as long as you have a DVD player to watch the videos. My fiancé happened to be home at the time and Joel showed him how to do proper compressions on the dummies too. I'd recommend Joel to anyone looking to renew. read more

My wife and I took Joel's summer safety course for parents class and it was wonderful. Joel covered everything from snake bites to AEDs. With a good sense of humor and hands on lessons, the class was excellent and I would recommend Joel to anyone looking for certifications or basic first aid knowledge read more

I am a childcare/preschool provider and needed to renew my CPR. I reached out to Joel for a class in my home for myself and friends. We had a mix of experience and new comers. Joel was awesome with his presentation and knowledge for all. It was comfortable and free. We all felt Joel made it easy to ask questions and he took his time to make sure all understood. Joel arrived early and had all the updated videos, manikins and materials. I have taken this class many times in the passed but this was my first time with Joel. I highly recommend him and I will be having him do our group class again! read more
