They told me I couldn't sign up by phone The course was a good course, but they haven't emailed me my course completion certificate. I've tried calling the local office but keep getting put on hold only to be directed to an answering machine. I have left messages explaining my situation but this far haven't received a response. I haven't had any problems with this company in the past. Maybe they have labor issues? Whatever the reason customer service pretty much sucks

I was looking into getting my CPR/AED certification and I needed something reasonably priced & in…read moremy area. I did quite a bit of Google searching and finally came upon SafeGard. A lot of other places would advertise a given amount (for example $35-50) but then the CPR book and skills portion were extra. Sometimes costing near $100 total! SafeGard was thankfully upfront and it was a flat $35 for the online class and skills portion and they are an actual training center for the American Heart Association. Getting registered and taking the online test was a little winded and lengthy, but eventually I was set up and taking my classes right away. I then was able to take the skills portion at the actual office which is just next door to Black Raven brewery. Carrie was our instructor and was very lively and informative. Class was 2 hours and after quite a few chest compressions on a dummy I got my CPR card! It was so easy and affordable. I'd recommend SafeGard for anyone needing to get certified ASAP.

Jenny Petty is 'the one in charge' as she put it. Raising her voice at me, not allowing me to ask…read moreany questions and finally ending the conversation with, 'have the day you deserve!' Yikes! After eight months of classes being rescheduled and my child unable to take the babysitting course we asked for a refund. The refund was sent written in my child's name. We asked them if they could please put it in her dad's name who paid for the class because our kiddo doesn't have a bank account. We were never told that wasn't an option until today and after 4 months of trying to track the refund down and upon being told we could not have it in an adults name we were also told we weren't allowed to speak to anyone else and treated very poorly. I have filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office, I would like my refund. Judging by the reviews, I don't think I'm the only one that's had issues with them. Update: After filing my complaint I received a refund in the parent's name, not the child. I will probably not use them for a babysitters course in the future.

I had a great late night class at this location renewing one of my certifications. The facility is…read moreclean and has several bathrooms, coffee and tea, and good acoustics. The breakout rooms were nice and perfect for larger groups. We had a pretty small group and were able to get at lot of individualized attention and help. Several students shared experiences and asked questions and our instructor, a paramedic, was great about going through the scenarios and making them learning experiences for all of us. He also shared some really interesting stories and how he handled them. The mega codes went well and we all worked as a team to get through them. The exam only took 30-40 minutes and was around 50 questions. Overall it was a great class and I was happy I chose this later time slot to get my renewal out of the way.

They get you in and…read moreout fast, and everyone passes. however...if you are there to actually LEARN the material, you will be disappointed. The first day they had us in and out in under 4 hours, not six. The second day the megacode practice was a joke. The "practice" actually turned out to be the test portion, which everyone passed, again, without really learning or doing much of anything. During written open-book testing it was noisy chaos, with people lining up to do CPR recert after, and chatting away.

My wife and renewed our required First Aid/CPR and AED certification by taking Kevin's training…read moretoday. Somehow he's made it even more enjoyable and faster-paced than two years ago. He has such an easy and clear manner in teaching his class. What both impressed and surprised me is how certain CPR instructions have changed in the past two years. Kevin gave detailed instructions even in where/how to stand next to someone having a cardiac or choking event, where to position legs and feet and where to put the cellphone (on speakerphone) next to the victim for talking with a 911 operator. Kevin's trainings are replete with stories about calls he's been on in the past year or so and the specific reasons why some of those calls had happy or tragic endings. The expanse of his knowledge on his subject is breathtaking--so he's the right guy to be teaching this class! Also, we've been to CPR/First Aid certification training that dragged on and on. Kevin's class flies by while ensuring we all have not only gained or refreshed knowledge but had that right amount of hands-on practice. He covers so much in his 3-hour training that it's best to just take the class to discover all it encompasses. And--Kevin? See you in two years, my friend.
