That Platelet Tech is your primary contact during the donation. The other Techs also step in during the donation to ensure the best possible experience.

I'm hitting a hard reset button on my professional life in the next few weeks, and part of what…read moreI'll be doing requires First Aid/CPR/AED certification. Since I do enjoy taking care of things sooner rather than later, I was putzing around on a Friday looking for said classes the following day, but was coming up empty until I came across CPR Carolina. Upon further inspection, I realized that not only was the schedule amenable, but the location and price of the training were decent as well, and with that - I signed up. A few thoughts. Location: 4 out of 5 Most of the Heartsaver First Aid/Adult and Toddler CPR & AED training sessions seem to be held at the Wingate by Wyndam in Raleigh. Pay special attention as there are multiple locations of this chain, and the one that you're looking for is the one closest to PNC Arena. The physical address can be a bit deceiving too, as the location is nested a little bit off of the main road. The hotel's meeting room was nice enough: standard covered conference chairs and tables, easy access to the restrooms, and coffee/juice in the morning. Structure of Course: 5 out of 5 CPR Carolina has maximized its resources and time to suit a variety of training sessions. For example, I signed up for first aid and adult/child CPR/AED. The first aid session began at 8am, and was done shortly before 11am. At 11am, additional individuals came in just for adult/child CPR/AED, which lasted until ~12:30, which was followed immediately by infant CPR/AED. In other words, if you need the whole spectrum of training, you can sit through one long session. If you only need portions (and some in my group that morning were in this group), you show up at the set time without having to sit through the portion(s) you don't need. Quality of Instruction: 4.5 out of 5 It's my understanding that with AHA, there is an expectation/obligation to watch certain parts of the pre-recorded video, and those parts can be supplemented by the instructor. Bryan made what could have been a very boring and burdensome First Aid course much more enjoyable, and was clear with his speaking and instruction. When it came time for CPR/AED, he was equally as clear with his instructions, and made sure that each person understood what was going on. Price: 5 out of 5 Probably the best bang for the buck (outside of free, which is offered by some FD/PD). The course I took was 50$, and included the use of a loaner book, the First Aid course, and the adult/child CPR/AED course. Other organizations in the area were looking for at least 70$ or 80$ for the same certification, so I feel like I got a better value. Overall: 5 out of 5 Well organized, well taught, and I was able to quickly demonstrate the skills checklist and be on my way.

Incredible training. Bryan and the entire team are super knowledgeable and professional. I would…read morerecommend this for everyone. Especially if you are having a baby soon!

These are then sorted, processed to make sure the clothing meets the quality for these students. They even have an Amazon wishlist.

I was getting a few chairs ready for a line dancing class that happens every Wednesday evening when…read morean older, female staff member walked into the room interrogating me. I had taken class there many times and had seen the staff member act suspiciously similar to other patrons, but I wasn't prepared for this interaction that left me never wanting to set foot in that establishment ever again. After her unnecessary interrogation, which I tried to politely respond to, she left for a few minutes, then walked back into class on two separate occasions to complain about me to the instructors while I was in the same room. I was a paid customer and the instructors are longtime renters of the community center. As if that wasn't bad enough, the staff member waited until I was near the entrance, bumped into me, then directed her attention to the thermostats. There were a lot of patrons in the room, so it was quite hot. The thermostats were set to 71, but she felt the need to turn them both to 72. After raising the temperature in the room, she finally walked back behind the bar. As a paid customer who was simply volunteering his time to help set up the room for dance class, the treatment I received from this staff member was deeply unfortunate. I will never do business there again.
