My family and I took the CPR and AED class over the weekend. We are expecting a baby so we all…read morewanted to be prepared. Scheduling was easy and Tyson is responsive to questions over Yelp as I wanted to make sure there was child and infant portion of the CPR class we would take. Check in was simple and the classroom was set up already. It was roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was tidy. There were posters all over the walls which went over some common misconceptions people have about rendering aid, like you can't be sued if acting in good faith. There is a storage space for your belongings which is great since half of the class is hands on, on the floor (as an emergency would be also). I am very pregnant (delivering in a few days) and Drea was quick to offer me accommodation so that I did not have to get on the floor. They also didn't bat an eye at my refusal to partner with a lady who had coughed and blew her nose through the entire introduction video, and accommodated her separately. It is unusual for me to do something like that but now is not the time for me to get sick and they didn't make me feel bad for it. There were some videos playing in the room before we started, which became confusing for my family because they were put out by the American Heart Association and promote hands-only CPR. It made my family think that we were not going to learn rescue breathing. I explained that I thought it was a space-filler for while we were waiting to start and that the current recommendation by the AHA is hands only so less people would be afraid to help. Tyson later explained this issue during the class as well. The class does indeed cover rescue breathing. He also explained how and why some things we learned in past CPR classes are not recommended any longer. The actual training videos were well made and did not seem outdated. The dummies were very cool because they were electronic and had lights to show you if you were doing well enough. Their chest rises so you can see and feel what a strong enough breath is like. I struggled to do 2 minutes of CPR. It was reassuring to work on a dummy with feedback. It was also great to work with a practice AED. I'd never touched one before and they seem scary but after learning how they don't just go off unless someone pushes a button, I felt better. It was good to be able to work with the infant dummies also and to practice hitting them on the back for choking, and chest compressions to see how much pressure to use. I realized I needed to tell my mom to be sure to hit my child harder if mine started choking! My dad realized he better get an AED for the cabin because my mom won't be able to do much chest compression if he were to need it. All in all a well-run class and business.

I then wanted to speak to someone to figure out a good level to start at and no one replied. So I tried again and finally a few days later someone followed up. We scheduled a time and about an hour before the asked to change the time. So I moved some stuff around in my day to accommodate the new time. The new time frame came and went with no call. I ended up getting a call about 20 mins later when I wasn't available. I think it's pretty disappointing and disrespectful to not care about my time or that I moved my day around to be available for a call that came later. Seems like it's a bother to be on time.

She made every class something to look forward to and created such a fun, encouraging environment to learn in. She was always patient, explained everything so well, and made everyone feel comfortable practicing and asking questions. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I learned so much more than I expected in just one level, and I already feel so much more confident speaking and understanding Spanish. If you're thinking about taking Spanish classes, this is the place to do it. I'll definitely be completing all of the levels here. Thank you, Caro, for making learning Spanish such a great experience!
