I donated blood out of blood drive at Woodland Community College in Clear Lake under the false…read morepretense that I was donating blood, like to help somebody in need. When I asked one of the paid employees, was the blood going to be sold they told me no and so after I donated blood I'm an O negative blood type so they're very interested in me donating plasma , in addition to the blood, which I declined. After I donated blood I did find out that yes it was going to be sold. So at these blood donation drives they're actually selling the blood they're not just collecting it and giving it away for free and I think that's what a lot of people believe. So you're not donating blood to people who need it you donating blood to generate profits for the Red Cross.

I'm so glad I had this training. I've had CPR training and first aid before, but Mary's class was…read moredifferent. Her real life experience as Chico Fire Fighter, school health aid and mother of very competitive athletes made it possible for her to teach us how to handle real life's extraordinary circumstances. I felt like she taught us how to know when and how to help, and how to communicate with injured people and other people who are involved or also trying to help. Recently I came upon a situation. A man was unconscious lying in a pool of water. He'd been assaulted and had hit his head and injured his back and ribs. There was a crowd of people around him, some of whom were trying to move him out of the puddle. I thought everyone knew not to move an injured person unless they were in danger. Anyway, I was so glad to have the knowledge and confidence to know how to help and how to communicate and work with other people who were trying to help. I asked if anyone else had CPR or first aid training. I was surprised that no one said yes. I asked someone to call 911 (which thankfully had already been done). I was then able to clear a few people away, assess the situation and do what I could for the man until the EMT's arrived. I was glad that I knew what to say to him when he came to, and how to encourage him to stay still and reassure him that help was coming. I hardly did anything, but I was able to stay calm and help keep others calm. I'm certain if I hadn't had Mary's class I would have just been a by-stander wishing I could find away to help the man. After the event had passed I remembered that Mary had given us her number and said that we could call her anytime. I was so glad to be able to call her the next day and just talk about what had happened. It's nice that BEST CPR training doesn't just end when you get your certificate. I fully recommend this company. Everyone should have BEST CPR training!

Aaron, the instructor, is next level. He's incredibly knowledgeable, but more importantly, he actually knows how to teach. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense, connects the dots, and helps you understand the "why" behind what you're doing--not just memorize it. I found myself thinking multiple times, "Where was this guy when I was in nursing school?" He really knows his stuff--and teaches it in a way that sticks. The blended learning format (online + in-person skills) was a lifesaver with a busy schedule. It made the course doable without feeling overwhelming, while still being thorough and hands-on where it matters. Also--communication was on point. Any questions I had were answered quickly, which made the whole process feel smooth and supported. If you're looking for a no-BS, high-quality ACLS/BLS course with an instructor who actually cares that you get it... this is it. Highly, highly recommend.

The course was a hybrid meaning that I had to do an online portion, then forward my completion notice to Ted who then scheduled the in person hands on portion. Ted was thorough, even checking to hear how the online portion went (that was done on an AHA site which he does not control) and he quickly assessed my needs to tailor areas of focus needed. Very professional with a delightfully humanizing touch. Ted is an EMT and does this training all over the area. I was very pleased, got my card by email within about 48 hours. This friendly, professional guy runs a great business. I told all my friends at work. Highly recommended. The whole process cost me about $75, a bargain considering how truly efficient it is. Thank you, Ted.
