As a comment about AHA classes as a whole, they are superior in quality to red cross, hands down, end of story. On this location specifically, Gary was a great instructor and provided a lot of above and beyond anecdotes having worked "in the field" so to speak for so many years. I learned a lot in the class that is actually applicable to real life situations and I feel adequately prepared me to begin graduate studies in medicine. The location is also very convenient, right off of I-294.

Earl was great! He came to our office with a dozen adult and a dozen baby mannequins as well as…read moreseveral demo AED machines. He quickly ran through all the material, observed us all practicing, made us repeat back all the key numbers and steps we need to remember, and kept everything light and fun. We are looking forward to seeing Earl again in 2 years! CPR Cards arrived in our emails just a few days later. Wonderful experience all around!

I am an Emergency Room nurse and have taken PALS and have recertified in ACLS through A.C.E.S…read more Both course lectures were taught by Doug. He has lots of stories and keeps the class interesting yet relevant to content material. He also always makes sure we understand important concepts in the lecture so we are prepared to pass the test. My two day PALS class was small (10 people), and the one day (6 hour) ACLS recertification was large (50 people). However both classes had enough staff members to lead the mega codes thoroughly and efficiently. A.C.E.S. is the company my hospital works with for all nurses' educational needs, however I would choose them in a "heartbeat" if I was given a choice.

For work, I need to know how to save lives via CPR. (No, open heart surgery for me, please). When I…read moreneed to renew my mouth to mouth saving skills, I turn to these folks. They are professional, offer a variety of locations, have several classes a month, are affordable and best of all conscious about our time. For a BLS renewal, you pay $40, (at the time of this review), and spend about two hours learning how to save adults and children through CPR, use of AED's and the Heimlich maneuver. The last renewal class I went to there was only three of us, so we were able to speed through class and finish with in under the 2 hours we were scheduled for yet still completing everything we needed to go over. They try and make the classes fun, yet knowledgeable. Luckily I haven't had to use my skills, hopefully I never will, but I feel confident that if I do, I can help save a life.

If you need a CPR class, I don't recommend this place. It's unclear when you add the product to…read moreyour cart, but to complete the in-person part of the certification, it's all virtual. You have to look at the FAQ on their page to find out what you're purchasing. For the most basic package of the BLS, you do a virtual skills session which means you show up at their building and record yourself on an iPad doing the skills session by yourself. Honestly, you're better off going to your local hospital or clinic where it is cheaper than this, and you meet an actual instructor :)

I took my ACLS and BLS certifications and recertifications…read more The first time I took my certification here, I had Mary Ann as my instructor and she is absolutely fabulous. Extremely knowledgable in her field and runs the class efficiently and prepares you. The ACLS class, itself, is hands on and even...dare I say...fun? If it is your first time, you should definitely take the review class on the first day with her and get prepped for day two. Would definitely recommend the class with Mary Ann and I plan on coming back for my recerts.

Let me just say that my experience of getting certified here was the best I've ever had. I took an…read moreACLS course with Jim & he was such an awesome guy. I know these certification courses can drag on forever - watching videos, role playing, etc., but he makes it so fun by integrating stories and little acronyms/rhymes to make concepts stick. Also, he's a paramedic so he has tons of personal experience and really knows his stuff. Overall, solid people, solid place. If you want to be certified in CPR, ACLS, etc., definitely do it at CET with Jim & I promise it will be worthwhile!!

GUESS WHO'S BACK BACK AGAIN…read more It's me, Eminem hasn't released a song in years. Anyways, as I said before, I came back for my renewal! This time I had a class with Lauren. Again, great class, and I love the real world applications that you learn about. You get more practical advice and information in classes here than anywhere else. Both Lauren and Jim have years of experience, so you really do learn a lot - above and beyond the information you'll get from just the AHA material alone. 3 years later, still highly recommend!

Fantastic! Quick, easy , friendly & professional. I'll do all my cpr needs here! Highly recommend…read more I did BLS & ACLS , quality program & not intimidating. Easy parking. Coffee & water there for free. Nice clean environment.
