Action CPR LLC

Not well, the trainer that was there that day was not certified by the American Heart Association. The session was 2 hours and we only practiced once on the infant manikin, we did practice twice on the adult manikin. We were never asked when we was took the course/21 years for me 25 + years for my husband. We never physically practiced the choking actions. The trainer didn't use the training dvd that AHA requires them to use. The trainer informed us that the owner's name would be on the certificate and evaluation. We still have copies of the certificate signed by the owner not the trainer. We were encouraged to check that we received the booklet. The trainer did not give us the booklet for the training/just handouts that contained inaccurate information related to performing CPR while working at a child care facility. We did call after the class and the owner admitted that the trainer was not certified to train others. She was not feeling well and that is why she was not there, I asked why would you not just cancel the class? She did offer to train us again and we declined,we asked for our $ back and she mailed it to us, in cash, in an unmarked (no return address) envelope. We made a complaint to the AHA but they will not give the results of the complaint so we have no idea if the corrections were made.

I was CPR certified.  It was at the provider's house.  That felt a little weird.  It wasn't clear if the home was zoned for a business.  My impression was that it isn't.  The training was in the bonus room upstairs.  The instructor went over many hours of material in little over an hour.  That was okay because I think that the videos and standard training is very long with unhelpful activities.  However, I wasn't that happy with all of the comments about "well, I don't agree with the AHA about... and so I'm going to teach it this way..."  It made me less confident in the training.  All in all, I do feel like I was trained well enough to do what I would need to do if someone needed CPR rescue and that is the main purpose.  That is why I didn't grade this provider low.

She is perfect

It went great from start to finish. She was an excellent instructor.

Very informative and helpful on teaching all steps and asking students to practice and then perform the steps.

I spoke with the instructor on the phone. She was very friendly and helpful. I made my appointment with her and was able to get in for a class the next day. I took my class and was very impressed with her. She does the classes in her home. Her home is a very clean and comfortable environment. She has a room dedicated to teaching classes. She is very knowlegable and keeps the class interesting. After the class I received the certificate immediately after I passed my test. I will definately be using her services again when I need to renew my certification.

Started on time at place of business. A very good instructor.

It was fine. I did not have any issues with it.

We thought the class was good. She was friendly and very attentive. She was well organized. She did the training at her home and had all the right equipment.

It turned out fine.

It was good. It was thorough and there were younger kids in the class as well which was neat.

It was excellent, thorough, and the group was small which made it nice. She was well prepared and the service was held in her home.

My wife and I found out about Action CPR through the Living Social deal. We paid $35 for the CPR course while it usually is $55. The course takes place in the house of Joanne Fried. She has an upstairs bedroom devoted to CPR training. Our class was with another couple and an individual. It appears that her classes are no larger than that so you really get individual attention. There are adult dummies to train on and each person gets his or her own. For the infant, we all had to share. In addition to CPR, we also learned the Heimlich Maneuver. My wife and I both thought that the course was beneficial and recommend it others. It was nice that the course was available on a Saturday afternoon.
