As a medical provider I’ve taken many CPR and First Aide courses. I even took a CPR and first aide course in college for an entire semester. This was STILL the most in depth, realistic, useful and informative class I’ve had. Not only was WHAT we need to do explained but the WHY. It helped make sense and close loops that have been left open from years of education on CPR and First Aide that had many gaps. I’ll be taking more classes!

Jamie Young

Student

This was a highly informative and engaging CPR class. The instructor Kristy was incredibly passionate about making sure we were well equipped to handle emergency situations, and I felt confident when I left the class, as well as looking forward to updating my first aid kit. She also took the time to stay after class to show me more about the aspects of the class I had more questions about. I highly recommend.

Did CPR certification today for the first time in years and I was very proud I remembered how to do it, plus they gave out narcan and taught us how to use it! I did get my AED pads backwards at first though bc ya girl is not good at left and right the class I did was through Deep in the Heart CPR and the instructor was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and it was a combo online/in person class so it was only 2 1/2 hours of classroom time. I definitely recommend her if you need to get your certification and your employer doesn't hold a class.
