I really liked Hassan's approach to teaching BLS. He gave us engaging scenarios to apply our learning to and he had a good sense of humour. I learned a lot in his class which instructors in other places did not teach me. Additionally the price for the BLS certification was reasonable and I loved how there was a discounted option for those who had a current certification. Will go here next time for my re-certification.
