Will always use this business for BLS, ACLS. I’m happy I did ACLS here because of the smaller class size - I was able to get more hands on practice and ask a ton of questions. Super easy to make an appt online and a bonus that they have classes ~7 days a week. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner 14:57 11 Jun 25
Dear Taylor, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the smaller class size and the opportunity for hands-on practice. Our team works hard to provide flexible scheduling, so we’re pleased it worked well for you. Your recommendation means a lot to us! Best, [Your Business Name]
