This is the best training ive ever done before! My instructor makes everything fun and entertaining which is great since ive been there from 9-5pm. The exam was pretty easy to do if you actually paid attention to everything he said. We got 45 minutes of break time and he helps you on your exam if you get stuck, this instructor i had was amazing! I would definitely suggest this to anyone who is interested into learning cpr or first aid, youll get a lot of information out of this.
