“The next 5 minutes were a blur, yet I did everything I was “trained” to do. I took charge and asked others to assist, but in the end I used an AED to save a man’s life.”

“I really liked the humor and "straightforwardness" of the course. The instructor made the dry material really exciting. It was a fantastic course that was super hands-on.”
