I was looking for an affordable and convenient way to get re-certified to work at a gym when I…read morestumbled across VA CPR & First Aid (certification provided through the American Heart Association). The VA CPR & First Aid website was extremely easy to navigate. The course was offered (and displayed in a calendar online) more than once on a weekend during the month making it easy for me to find a class that fit my schedule. Michelle (who taught the class) was very responsive when I asked her questions via email. I asked about dates and payment and usually got a response within 42 hours. As an instructor she was clear and friendly. The location of the course (tucked inside a commercial office space) was a doable drive from the Alexandria, VA area. If you take a course here please note there is a limited number of food options that are within walking distance (when you break for lunch). The closest place to get something to go is the Dunkin Donuts accross the street. I thought the price with the book (100 for the class, 20 for the book) was fair when compared to similar courses. I have taken the American Red Cross certification (more than once). I thought the way the American Red Cross presented the material 4 years ago to me was more hands on than the American Heart Association. Specifically, with the first aid course material. If my memory serves me correctly, I remember doing a lot more hands on demonstrations when I got certified by the American Red Cross than by the American Heart Association. In a nutshell its a good option if you need to get certified in a quick time frame and live in the northern VA area but if this is your first time getting certified specifically for first aid I would look at the American Red Cross' certification courses first.

It's not fancy, but it's the rescue hall and clean. They provide tables and chairs. There are restrooms.

Parking surrounds the building and is a small lot, but there is public parking along the inside street and across within the opposite lot. You are responsible for cleanup. Overall, it is a great place that makes holding a group of people easy to do and very convenient.

EDIT: This company would rather argue their justification…read morethan just make corrections. My review remains with one agreed correction: 8 night nannies were not hired, we started the process of hiring 8 that fell through at different points like dropping contact/no shows. As an SBO myself I would never provide a negative review unless absolutely warranted. I did see another review where a customer allegedly felt Faith made some between-the-lines implications for leaving a review and I see where they would think that as Faith reached out to me about this review in a very threatening manner, stating they are noting this record and it may violate Yelps content/ privacy standards and apparently has asked for its removal. Yikes! *END EDIT Absolutely avoid this business at all costs. They have you pay your entire contract upfront - which is almost unheard of. The rate is nonrefundable, even if they do not provide you services. I'm out over $2k because we cancelled our contract early after 8 no-show night nannies. 8 times their employee either didn't show up or cancelled hours before. The last night nanny that called out day of service even contacted us saying that if we get a refund, she doesn't get paid. The company lied and exaggerated issues for no shows to make it more justifiably (as seen in the text attached). The nanny called us night of the accident saying she was fine AND she was on a flight for a trip the next day. Faith called it a "near deadly accident". Disgusting business dealings. Not only are they lying, but also putting them in such a desperate situation where the nanny is forced to reach out to the customer and guilt us to not taking a refund (second pic). We've since found another company to work with and they have been amazing, reliable, and professional.

Wife and I tried to use this service to hire a night nanny. They wouldn't give us a straight answer…read moreabout whether the providers they contract with are vaccinated. Eventually they did tell us that they don't and can't confirm that. The candidates we were connected to seemed great, but the interaction with the agency left a sour taste in our mouths. We felt like we'd be given the runaround whenever we had a hard question for them, which isn't a good way to start off. Leaving this review just so people know the agency believes they can't confirm vaccination status of its providers or require that providers be vaccinated. The founder said very few people get the flu shot anymore - big red flag! Edit: Since leaving this review, the company has contacted us implying that our negative review might come to the attention of our employers. I'm curious to see their response! What an experience. Buyer beware. Edit 2: Their reply here says they never said they'd contact our employers. Here is what they said, verbatim: that we would "receive a public response from us where it's discoverable by your employer and anyone else that may want to help your family in the future." We're smart enough to read the implication.

I don't understand the hate, because I graduated from ECPI through their online campus, and I've…read morenever had any issues with them. I had no trouble getting in touch with my instructors, financial aid, career services-anybody really- and I lived on three different continents while I was studying there. I learned a ton through the EET program, and I've already got a great job thanks to my studies and my military experience. I don't live in the Virginia area, but I've never seen anyone raise an eyebrow in a bad way over having ECPI University on my resume. And all this nonsense about it being a for-profit school. I, for one, am GLAD it's a privately-owned for-profit school, because their survival relies solely on the product they put out, and I am really happy with the product I paid for and received. And if you think public schools are there solely as charities and not make money, you're fooling yourselves. If you're looking for a program that will move you through whilst holding your hand every step of the way, maybe you should stick to the government-funded "education" system you grew up with. If you're looking for a degree that will get you in the door anywhere even with no experience, you're going to have to pay a lot more money for it (think Harvard, Yale, Vanderbilt, etc). If you want further your education and build upon your experience, or if you're looking for the missing piece of your resume to get an that position to start your career, this is the place for you. If you're an adult who can handle your own administrative and financial affairs, and you have the drive to learn as much as possible because you love learning, then this is a great place for you.

Misleading at best. $8,712 is YOUR portion of cost beyond what is covered by federal student loans…read more The actual cost is $18,500+ a semester (3 semesters a year, or about $60,000 a year) you WILL be paying this extra back with interest. The 2.5 timeline is also rated off of 21 credit hours on average. So, it will undoubtedly cost you more. If you have never been to college before, most colleges won't even let you enroll in excess of 18 credit hours as the drop-out, burn-out, and failure rate skyrockets after that, and don't make the mistake thinking you can handle it since you were good in high school. This is a totally different beast. Usually everybody has their hands full at 12 credit hours a semester, and from my personal experience, even gifted students start getting in trouble beyond 15. Just their numbers alone put the federal portion at $1500 a month for repayment over the next 20 years. My own numbers add another $700 to that for your portion. My advice... enroll at ASU's fully online ME degree. It is way more affordable, an ACTUAL ME degree (Not an MET) Or better yet find an in-person school that is actually affordable, some DO exist. You deserve better than this. In a scam rating I would with 1 being a total scam and 10 being totally legit, I give this a 3. Avoid. I doubt they would outright lie, but assume they are not being forward with you in any communications. They tried to get me to sign up for student loans without my permission, I was cautious and caught it soon enough, but they were ready to hand me a bill even without enrolling.
