Hello, I finished this class about 2 weeks ago and will give you an in depth report on the class…read moreand how it went for me when I took it, I finished the class with an A, this class is not impossible, far from it, but you will need to commit to it if you want to succeed in it. (TDLR below) -IT IS FAST PACED- If you are looking for the fasted class to get in and get out, then this class is for you, if you need more time to learn things and get the hang of them, this class is not for you. ( most classes range from 4-6 months, this class is a little less than 3 months) -IT IS NOT EASY- This class is not an easy class, don't expect to be able to just skim over the chapter and come to class, you will need to put in the hours to learn the material. There are after hours almost everyday open to all the students who want to review tests, quizzes, need more help understanding a concept, ect. But you have to take those options, along with reading the chapters till you understand them, not just expecting it to be covered in class. -THIS CLASS WILL PREP YOU FOR THE NREMT- This classes final exam is much harder then the NREMT. The quizes you will take in the class are each exceptionally hard, but don't worry they do not account for much on your grade average, they are there to show you what areas you need to improve on, as well as showing you ways the NREMT will try to trick you. I averaged about a 75% on quizzes and still made a 90% in the entire class. -GRADING- There are a many reviews for this academy saying the grading matrix is too hard, its really not, you can afford to fail almost every quiz, score a 75% on half the exams, and still pass the class, the grading matrix is set up to give you a ton of leeway for the harder parts of the class. As long as you do your homework and read the chapters, you can pass. They give you 2 retakes for the exams in case you fail, extra credit, and tell you what will be on the exams. My class started with 30 people, about 15 finished the course, those who did not finished failed out for one of two reasons, attendance or not studying/doing the homework. Only 3 people who failed out for grades were actually trying in the class and needed extra help, the rest either A were not reading the chapters well, or B not going to office hours or using the help given to them, most were both. !!!--Every person who read the chapters and showed up to office hours (with the exception of 1 or 2 people) passed the class, even those who were struggling, failing every quiz, used both of their retakes, and didn't grasp the content very well, passed the class. tdlr USE THE RESOURCES GIVEN TO YOU, YOU WILL BE FINE IF YOU DO SO. those who didnt failed out and left 1 star reviews saying the class was too hard--!!! You are given an absolute ton of information and material to help you pass the class in the website they give you access to when you enroll into he class, you will need to use it, they have study guides for every quiz, exam, and final for the class along with any piece of information you will need to know to get through the class. TDLR. If you cannot give the this class 2 or 3 hours a day to study, cant show up to office hours and read the chapters, do not take this class, take an easier one. If you can and you really want a quick class that will set you up for paramedic school or straight into NREMT then into a job, then you will benefit from this class. --Over all I loved the class and would recommenced it to anyone who want to go straight into paramedic school or into a job.-- Below are areas the class can improve on, and things to look out for if you decide to take this class. 1. There are like 20 instructors who each teach he class differently, some just read from the power point, others compare the material to what you will find in the field, some skip the entire power point entirely to focus on skills, some care a lot about the students and will go an extra mile for them, some genuinely don't give a sh*t about them, some are very kind, others are rude and apathetic. You don't know who or what type of teacher you will get with each day, that was a common complaint in the class, it was too difficult to follow along with the content when each day someone new was presenting it in their own new way. There needs to be more uniformity to the teaching styles, I scored the best on exams and quizzes when Aimee or Tito went over the content, and scored the worst on Exams and quizzes when Roxanne taught. Don't let instructors skip half of the lecture because they don't feel like covering it *cough* Roxanne *cough*. 2. Move patient assessment skills to both the beginning of class and the end. Students need a mental template of how patient interactions will go when they start the class because the book teaches them the material in a way centered around signs and symptoms found in patient assessment. Along with having a few assessment scenarios that are acted out in person.

His extensive experience highlighted the importance of being well-prepared for emergencies. We covered adult, child, and infant CPR and choking scenarios, with a reassuring emphasis on infant and child situations. The hands-on practice with both adult and child size mannequins boosted our confidence to act quickly in an emergency. The personalized, relaxed setting made it easy to ask questions, practice at our own pace, and truly absorb the material. Not only was the course informative, but it was also fun and engaging. We left with peace of mind, knowing our family is better equipped for any emergency. We highly recommend Fired Up Solutions and this at-home CPR refresher for any family, especially those with young children. It's a small investment that could make a lifesaving difference!

I was up for my BLS renewal and googled places around the Austin area to get certified. I found and…read moresigned up with Life Sustaining Training center because it was located in south Austin. I signed up on the website. There are class times available 1-2 times a week. You can also do all your training online and come into the center to get checked off on the skills portion. I may consider that next time when my time is not as flexible. Note that Life Sustaining Training offers other courses like PALS, ACLS and CPR. Jessica was my instructor and the class was a total of three students including myself. The class consisted of instruction and information given by Jessica and a video. The students had to be able to demonstrate what we have learned on a mannequin for the skills portion. The mannequins are actually higher quality than I have ever practiced on which was a refreshing change. They had sensors on them to gauge if you are doing chest compressions correctly. Overall a great class, great location, and easy to sign up.

However, once I completed the hands on portion, they requested I email my online course completion certificates so I could get my ecards.

Every time I call, the receptionist states the same thing, "I told him to sign them. You'll get them. I promise." Lady, I'm still waiting!
