My wife and renewed our required First Aid/CPR and AED certification by taking Kevin's training today. 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. read more

This is the second time I have taken BLS for Healthcare providers from Compressions for life. I've been an ACLS and BLS provider for 30 + years and this is the best BLS class I've taken. Kevin Bernt is an excellent instructor. He's well prepared, class is efficient and organized. He explains concepts clearly. Even though I've been through many, many BLS trainings, I feel that I've learned valuable new skills in each of the classes I attended with Kevin. read more

Needed to take a CPR, first aid and AED training for teacher certification. I was referred to this training by a family member. There were several training dates available and about 12 slots per class. I got in right away and the cost was $70, paid online. The facility was clean/modern. Kevin, the trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. Training was three hours (9:30-12:30) on a Saturday with two breaks. Kevin asked questions, showed video clips and participants practiced different techniques. At the end you walked away with a signed card as long as you participated in all activities (everyone did). I felt the training was just right (not too long and not too short) and up to date info given. Would highly recommend. read more

Attended the BLS course this morning, great class with an awesome instructor! Kevin was thorough and very informative. Class size was about 18 students which was pretty large compared to previous classes I've attended elsewhere. Everyone had their own practice dummy with indicator lights which measures effectiveness of compressions, super helpful for 1st timers! Building is super clean and nicely decorated with two bathrooms. Video demos were shown on a large tv in view for everyone to see. Coffee and water were offered and appreciated at 8am. Another bonus was AC!! Which was adjusted throughout the course so it wasn't ever too hot or too cold. Overall a great experience. Would 100% recommend and will be attending the course again in 2 years. Classes get full fast and are in high demand so don't hesitate to book asap. read more
