I discovered Fragile Heart CPR by searching for IN PERSON classes THROUGH AHA, only to sign up &…read morefind out "due to covid, it's virtual." What should normally be $85 (on average) ends up being $125. I only agreed to this bc the 'closest' IN PERSON locations aren't so close. You receive the link for the videos and exams after you pay and they ship the box with inflatable "manikins" (mannequins.) *see attached photos* The AMBU bag doesn't even line up, there's no rise/fall of the chest. Not that it matters, you'll just say "give breath, look for rise/fall of the chest, continue with compressions" during the skills test part. You get a bracelet that blinks red until you've reached the desired compression rate and then it flashes green. There's nothing given for AED, you just need to state where to place the pads. They claim free shipping to send the box to you (so why am I charged $125?) and then to send it back -- YOU have to pay ($15.50) to do so-- unless your postal carrier advises you of the correct box to use and it will still get there the same time and you get a tracking number ($10.50 ***if in PA.) I will say this: any time I sent a text, I received a response within 24hrs. I received my card-- which is/was the goal, but I just don't like the idea of BLS classes being VIRTUAL and more costly! It doesn't make sense and it seems unprofessional. Also, upon returning the package, I learned that ANOTHER one was delivered to me. My postal carrier and I REFUSED the shipment. I called the company, they advised that there are no additional charges that sometimes more than one package goes out for the same person. Now you know what to expect. MAKE GOOD CHOICES! (Read: make a better choice than I did. Unless you like having stories to share with your friends.)

Two years ago I went through the Red Cross and will not make the same mistake again!
