Avoid Code1 Training Solutions at all costs…read more This was, without question, one of the worst educational experiences I've had. The training was disorganized, poorly taught, and shockingly ineffective. For something that is supposed to cover life-saving techniques, it is alarming how little was actually communicated in a meaningful or retainable way. I walked out feeling just as uninformed as when I walked in--if not more frustrated. What truly sets this company apart (in the worst way) is the complete lack of accountability and support afterward. When issues came up with claiming CE credits, there was absolutely no help offered. The response was essentially a dismissive "you're out of luck," with zero effort to problem-solve or stand behind their own course. This isn't just bad customer service--it's a failure in their responsibility as an educational provider. If you are relying on this course to gain critical knowledge or fulfill professional requirements, look elsewhere. This was a waste of time, money, and effort.

I've done the BLS for Healthcare Providers course through a few different places over my 13 years…read moreof nursing and I have to say this was probably the first time I actually enjoyed the class. Giovanni (John) was amazing. He was extremely thorough from start the finish. He made sure each of us in attendance understood the material and allowed us to practice compressions and bag/mask as many times as needed to feel comfortable. He provided constructive feedback and even some tips and tricks. John gave real life scenarios to help us all better understand the importance of CPR and proper technique as well as knowing your role and limitations. The equipment was clean and easy to use. The building is located conveniently right off the highway and easy to locate. The room was easy to find and well marked. Inside the room was spacious and clean. All in all it was a great class and I would recommend Life Saver CPR & First Aid Training (and John!) to anyone seeking to become CPR certified. Thank you John and I look forward to recertification in 2 years!! (Only one photo taken for privacy)

As someone renewing their BLS certification, I had a benchmark for what to expect. However, this session with Giovanni surpassed the previous training. His targeted instruction not only deepened my understanding but also significantly bolstered my confidence in handling emergency situations. Compared to my initial certification elsewhere, Giovanni's class made a much more profound impact on my preparedness and proficiency. Giovanni was engaging and patiently addressed each question I posed and provided me with detailed explanations. He provided constructive feedback, refining my technique and posture, ensuring that I didn't just go through the motions, but fully grasped the lifesaving potential of each action. He also took the time to integrate practical examples and simulations that I might encounter, an aspect that has made my training feel all the more relevant. His dedication to teaching is evident and his ability to adapt to my needs made all the difference. I came looking for a certification, and I left a much more confident first responder. To anyone seeking CPR training that is both engaging and comprehensive, this is the one for you!

After taking one of their classes I decided to become a member of their ambulance corps because I loved the people here so much. (I have now been a happy member of Echo Hose Ambulance Corps for 2 years). The instructors here are incredibly knowledgable and want their students to learn in a way they can pass any state exam AND ALSO so that they can succeed out in the field. All of the instructors have given me and other students important lessons that aren't always in a book. Because of these great teachers I will feel more comfortable in an emergency, responding to 911 calls, and even MCIs. Echo Hose offers excellent quality classes and also very personable instructors that have passion for what they teach. Aside example of how great they are: During my state Recertification exam I was cold (I always am) and so I was hunched over taking the exam. One of the instructors, Pat, noticed. He went into the back office and came back with a fleece blanket and told me I could wrap that around myself to stay warmer. I finished off my exam more comfortably and warmer. Thank you Pat and the rest of the Echo Hose Training center team for always making those in your classes feel welcome and like family. I highly recommend taking the refresher courses, CPR classes, or any other EMS class Echo Hose offers.

Thank you for accommodating me late notice!…read more The flexibility helped me out because I needed recertification ASAP. They are super accessible and booking a class is super easy on the website. As long as you can make it up there and have gps, it's awesome. You'll get to meet people who have a similar profession to yours more than likely. Plus they had apple pie last time I went. The session flew and it was precisely the refresher I needed. If you have extra questions or need more practice, they'll be more than happy. It's always a good idea to update your skills. Hope you never need to use them, but it's better to know what you're doing in case you have to.

Tom really put us to work for practicing CPR on the ground. We did several rounds of CPR on dummies, and it made me realize that yes, health care providers and anyone else certified can get exhausted after just a couple of minutes during this process! We learned the proper techniques on how to switch off for 2 person CPR as well. I will be coming back in 2 years and hopefully Tom will still be teaching here. Thanks to this program, I am not more confident to know I can help someone out if life support is needed. They also give you same day certification cards which was really helpful because I have a job interview later today, and can now bring my card to the interview. It's $27 to replace a lost card, (not the centers choice for the fee), but American heart association. Tom gave us a great tip and told us to take a photo of the card or make a photo copy, this way we don't have to pay for another one if it gets lost. Great place, I will be recommending this center to anyone who needs verification. (They also offer recertification classes for a lower fee).

Took CPR 123 at this location a few weeks ago and the class went really well. Repetition is key and…read morethis particular instructor made sure that he drilled important concepts into our heads so that we made sure we were leaving with a basic foundation of what ACLS was all about. It's difficult sitting in a room all day long and he aimed to make the class as interactive as possible. We covered BLS in the beginning of the class as a refresher as there were a few people in the class who needed to renew their BLS and who likely had not taken BLS in quite some time. He moved quickly through that and then onto ACLS. There were about six people in the class and he had each of us come up one by one to be the leader in an critical scenario. That part was slightly nerve-wracking, especially standing up in front of strangers but he guided you through each scenario, gave you the resources prior to the mock code that you needed in order to be successful and gave positive reinforcement after each skit. This class had a ton of information crammed into 6 hours so at the end, the test was way too lengthy in my opinion to perform well on and it was incredibly ambiguous. It felt like the NCLEX all over again. There were right answers, but there there was a more right answers, allegedly. A 50 question exam after a 6 hour long class is too much. Of course there needs to be an exam to determine whether or not you've passed the course but the questions weren't great and 50 is too many. Definitely learned a lot during this course especially regarding how to push emergency medications and the importance of closed loop communication. The book was absolutely useless throughout the course but now that it's over, I'm thankful to have it as a resource.
