I came for the standard cpr training and coming from someone who can’t focus very well. I was able to stay engaged in the lesson for all 8 hours. Hassan was my instructor/trainer and he was awesome. Made the class laugh and have a good time while still teaching everyone what they needed to know. Would recommend going to him.
