Thank you!!

Faithe Elsberry

This was absolutely the most straight forward process and most useful CPR course I have taken. The online portion was incredibly thorough and detailed. For the in-person portion, it was helpful to have computer feedback to know how deep compressions should be and what speed they should occur at, as well as receiving feedback on positioning for giving sufficient breaths. It was also a quick process, taking less than 20 minutes to complete all in-person skills. I would highly recommend this course to anyone renewing their CPR certification or getting it for the first time.

Joseph Zamora

Modules were very informative and take about 6 hours for the PALS. The in person skills assessment is very straightforward, I will definitely come back for future certificates!

Cory Asato

Very through but efficient. Customer service was great with scheduling!

Judy Cabrera

Great place to take ACLS! I have come here many times for renewal. Even if it is offered for free at my hospital I come here because it is less stressful for me. Pete the instructor was funny. The megacode was not intimidating at all. I highly recommend it.

Lauren Honea

Stress free, quick and many options to fit your schedule

Fernando R

Very clean, quick, easy and they made scheduling a breeze.

Linda P

Easy peasy. Quick and done. Did the online modules and went to the office to complete skills with the Voice activated Manikin. Watch the videos so you can work out the kinks.

Zoe Parker

This was a great course and it was super easy to follow along with great videos. I like that I got to go in and do the skills portion on my own time in a room by myself. I felt 100% prepared and I really liked the feedback on the computer to see your progress during the skills test. Definitely recommend!!

Gabriella Nieves

Was such an easy program to get through!

Rachel Tosi

Fantastic! So easy, no stress, the modules are easy and are at your own pace. The skills portion is easy too and only took me about 30 min for my BLS and ACLS. Won’t go anyone else. They immediately emailed me my cards and even texted them to me. I never write reviews but this is the most painless it has been to renew my certs. Thank you for this little company for making it painless and simple to get it done :).

Phillip Noriega

Very easy access. Hands on manikin was great. This is a great way to update certification with ease. Thank again

Rowena Arciaga

It’s kinda confusing at first but found no problem.I think I will do it again RQI. Thanks for the good reminders!

Kris Barnes

Very convenient and easy to utilize. I just think the BLS cert skills should be included when you complete the ACLS course. It’s very tep repetitive

Lauren DiMaggio

Super quick, efficient, and reasonable priced! I learned a lot 🙂

Jade Brower

Nicole Hedge

Super easy to do and get to the room. I love these machines

Rosa Garcia

joyce beltran

2nd time to recertify. Very convenient. So many locations to choose from. Also got discount for recertifying with them

Kelly Lugo

Have always renewed my BLS and PALS here. Love how accommodating and supportive they are with their training. Highly recommend

Lisa R.

I like this a lot better than in person classes. I love that I could do it on my own time. The mannequin assessment was good I appreciated the fact that you could try multiple times if needed to pass. My only complaint is that the room is hot and I was sweating by the time I left. It's a warm day today.

Carla Bisson

I have been going here for years . Always a good experience. Great instructors , very responsive company if you need anything . Highly recommend !

Yesenia Baires

Straight forward instructions, video were very helpful on locating the site.

InterestedExplorer

Very smooth easy and fast. No stress testing, just you, the mannequin, and the follow along computer which tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. 5 Stars. Definitely Recommended

CM MZ

I am a pediatric critical care physician and I needed to renew my PALS certification. The online module has been updated to include the 2025 AHA recommendations. The skills session was efficient and actually helpful. You have to adjust the mask on both the adult and infant mannequin in order to effectively bag/mask ventilate, just like in real life. I will renew with them again.
