I have been taking my BLS classes with CPR123 - Mineola for the past couple of years. The classes…read moreare suitable for both healthcare providers as well as non healthcare providers. They have several NY locations (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk) but I've only taken the Mineola ones as the times and location worked for me each time. I've had different instructors each class (all with healthcare backgrounds) but all of them were great. The class I took recently was with Paul. He was very knowledgeable and presented the information in a way that wasn't boring. Classrooms are clean with AC and working mannequins (they have lights that show if you're doing compressions correctly). There are also bathrooms available but I did not use them. You can book classes via their website or by calling them directly. I have done both with no issues. The staff at the front desk have always been pleasant. They will send you a confirmation email with more instructions so make sure you read that because if you're using GPS, it says to put Mineola and not Garden City. When I took my class, we were allowed to park on levels 1 and 3 marked for visitors. Check your email though in case that changes. Parking was free and plentiful. My class was on a weekday at 12:30pm. I've done all in person classes because I learn best that way so I can't comment on the online classes. I think with the online classes though you still have to come in to do the hands on portion. Once class is finished, you should receive the ecard within an hour or 2. If not, call them. Mine for some reason took 2 days but I didn't need it in a hurry. Cons: 1. There is no difference if you're doing an initial class or renewing. They used to have this option (renewal was cheaper and less time) but maybe it's just easier to have initial/renewal as the same. 2. There weren't much day and time options for the locations I was checking out (Mineola and Huntington) for July. It was either 8:30am or 12:30pm start. It would have been nice if they had some later start times or more weekend classes.

I have been using CPR123 for almost a decade now for my BLS and ACLS certification renewals. I keep…read morecoming back because I like that they have several locations I can choose from which means there are many time slots and days available for your needs and the instructors have always been excellent and experienced! Registration is super easy, now there's no difference between first time certification and renewal which is great. In the era of covid, I opted to use the Mineola site for the first time and it was nice. Parking lot available with limited spots but there is also metered street parking as well. Cali was the instructor and I've had prior classes with her, she's fantastic and keeps things straight forward. The 3-4 hour class flew by! Have also had classes with Mike and he was superb! They all have tons of experience in emergency resuscitation. I have been to the Forest Hills and Manhattan locations also- however parking bites and I usually take the subway but I do not want to take public transport to get there until covid is more controlled. Learn to save a life with CPR123!

The Red Cross was at the scene about 5 minutes after the fire trucks and what an incredible job they did. As one of the temporarily displaced (I hope to be back in there in a few days once power is on) I have seen first hand just what these folks can do. We were all found rooms to spend the night, emergency provisions and of course, coffee and donuts. These incredible people are all volunteers - from the people who sat with the elderly victims to the people making coffee - all were incredibly wonderful. I urge anyone who reads this to make those donations - I always had in the past and now I can see just how worthy this organization is and how well spent the donations are.

I heard about the company through a friend, they happened to be close by, so I decided to give them a call. Top Notch was very accommodating with finding a time that worked with my schedule, they were also willing to have an instructor come to my home. The facility was intimate and equipped with the latest gear. I was most impressed with the manikins, which were able to monitor both the depth and rate of chest compressions. My instructor was Michael. Upon arriving, he was extremely welcoming and friendly. The environment was relaxed, I felt very comfortable performing and correcting my skills. Michael was knowledgeable and helpful, providing positive reinforcement when I did well. I am extremely satisfied with my overall experience here. The class was informative and affordable. I plan to continue to use them for future classes, and will definitely recommend them to my friends.

I needed a renewal fast and searched online for local BLS renewal courses. After searching, I browsed LICPR.com website page. There was availability for a weeknight class at 6PM in Copaigue. I was happy with the times because most classes on Long Island were at 1:30/2PM start time on a weekday which is not convenient for workers or a whole day weekend course. Todd has to be my favorite CPR instructor I have met thus far. The material we learn each and every year is the same but he made it relatable which makes it more memorable which is definitely important if there is a life or death situation. I received my new card via email at the end of class. The location is above a fitness studio and has a large office space on the 2nd floor with a parking lot attached. I definitely will be going back here for my CPR renewal in 2 years and will definitely recommended this to my colleagues.
