This course also included practical aspects, one being the VR projected shooting activities. Along with lecture, stories laser practice, the VR activities gave an idea of real-life situations and was also fun and competitive. Kevin is able to maintain a positive learning environment which vastly helps with students' confidence. Kevins' clear passion for teaching this course is also evident in his availability by phone, email or text, his alumni philosophy (all students are considered alumni and are welcomed back), and his flexibility and willingness to adapt and accommodate individuals' personal lives and schedules. I 100% recommend going to Kevin in Round Lake, even if you have options closer to where you live. Passionate, knowledgeable, experienced, understanding, motivating, patient, and accommodating are just some of the words I can think of to describe Kevin Wallace."

Their range is superb... clean and live booth video of your target. Makes dialing in, long range, for those of us with terrible eyesight, really convenient. Go twice a month and it's worth signing up for a membership, which I intend on doing later this week. I didn't have time to go through their entire storefront but it's also quite impressive with, what looks to be, everything for the beginner to advanced. I'm going back this weekend just to browse, learn more about their training services and chat with their experienced staff!

By the way, his blog and website are filled with tons of great information, so check those out.

Excellent professors, some really good programs. Their theater and music performances are really…read moregood, a cross between professional and student and sometimes combining both. They care about pulling in community members. At the same time: They pour money into full-time advisors who give incorrect advice - for me that included courses they said would apply towards graduation and didn't. They have scholarships that don't require the FAFSA, but what exists isn't listed, figuring out how to apply is a mess, and aid can show up in the middle of the semester which is too late if you're dependent on it. They also list courses which aren't actually taught, and deans are completely unresponsive to student concerns. Worst of all, they spend so much money on administrative positions that around 80% of their professors are adjunct and scrambling to make ends meet with multiple gigs. Hello, your professors are the heart of a good college. But honestly in the end you can get a good education and if you figure out the limitations for early transfer it's a solid start for a 4-year degree

If you need to be CPR certified, I highly recommend Paul's service! I had found out that I had…read moregotten into my program of study at Gateway Technical College much later than my peers had due to Gateway's petitioning process. So when it came time to getting my to do list for clinical requirements, I was very behind! Thankfully, Paul was a life saver (literally! Lol). He was very prompt and insightful via email, and was able to get me in a class within a week and a half of me initially requesting a CPR class. The class itself was the most fun and informational CPR class I have ever taken. Prior to this class I had taken the course 3 other times with various instructors. Paul has a lot of experience in this field and it shows through his teaching! He takes a very real approach to CPR, which was refreshing. Highly recommend!!! Thanks again, Paul! -Katie :)

I took the AHA Heartsaver CPR/AED & First Aid Course from this training center this week. Paul…read moreSchlereth, the instructor for this class, did a phenomenal job. He's saved lives for a career and knows what he's talking about! I found him to be friendly, thorough, and approachable. He offered a lot of information related to scene safety assessment that you won't find in the book, and he went more into depth on the Heimlich procedure for infants than I'd heard anywhere else before. He spent as much time as needed and made sure we felt confident in the skills. It wasn't about just knowing all the right answers on paper. It was great to learn something new and refresh the skills I'd previously acquired. The class consisted of only 3 students, including myself, all involved in professional childcare. This small-group feel made it seem more personal and gave us more one-on-one from the instructor. I found this having fewer students refreshingly different from a BLS class I'd taken for health professionals through the Red Cross four years earlier. His price was extremely reasonable. Since he didn't have a First Aid Class that night (it was only CPR/AED), and I needed both, he recommended I take the blended learning approach, doing the education/training portion online through AHA and then staying after the CPR/AED class so he could administer the skills assessment. He was accommodating to help me this way and he even loaned students the required books to study. I was able to get the knowledge and certifications I needed through this class and had an enjoyable time doing it!
