Very easy to navigate through the learning modules and quizzes. Working with the mannequins was also super simple, not only with the video's that prepared you for exactly what it will look like to work with the mannequins, but then also the computer allowing practice sessions, before actually starting the testing. It also is nice to have as many attempts as needed, as getting the exact feel of breaths, especially on infants. Was nice as well.

BLS AHA e-card approved! I appreciate the independence of the program. You work on your own through the online material and once completed get your skills tested through a machine (instructor not required/present) within an hour! The BLS AHA card is then provided via email right after you complete your skills independently at one of their facilities.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Samantha, for the great review! We’re glad you found the independent online program and the machine-verified skills testing convenient, and that you received your BLS AHA e-card quickly by email. It’s wonderful to know the process worked smoothly for you. We look forward to helping you or your colleagues with future certifications.

This my second time using this company and it’s so convenient and easy. I’ll keep using them for sure. Those group classes are the pits. This gives you a lot of feedback and as many attempts as you need to get it right. I will say that this time I ran into a mechanical issue with the infant bag mask but I called the phone number and the person on the other side was very helpful - she had access to the computer and could see what I was doing, and we got it done! Just wish they would add a little fan or a/c.

Response from the owner:Thank you for choosing us again and for the great review. I’m glad our team was able to walk you through the infant bag mask issue and that the service’s feedback and unlimited attempts were helpful. I apologize for the inconvenience with the equipment and appreciate you letting us know. We’ll pass your suggestion about adding a small fan or A/C to our operations team as we continue improving the experience.

The online learning was great and self-paced so you could finish and start as needed. It doesn't need to be completed in one session which was helpful. The skills assessment with the mannikin was interesting but private and it was helpful having someone monitor and help when needed. It was challenging using the airbags. I never used them before, they take some practice to use, even though they looked easy to use. Overall a good experience and recommended training for anyone. High schools should provide this training as a requirement in addition to drivers training. I needed to renew for work purposes but hope I'll never have to use it.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Patricia. We’re glad the self-paced online course and the private manikin skills check made the training convenient and supportive. It’s common for first-time learners to find airbags challenging, and our instructors are always happy to provide extra practice and tips to build confidence. We appreciate your suggestion about high school requirements and are pleased the course met your work renewal needs, and we hope you never have to use these skills.

CPR VAM made getting my BLS renewal SO EASY!! I enjoyed the online modules and even learned a few life-saving tips that were not covered in the previous BLS classes I've taken. The email confirmations, instructions, and additional videos were very helpful. I will definitely be a return customer in 2 years when my BLS is up for renewal and I will recommend CPR VAM to all my healthcare friends! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the fantastic review. We're thrilled our online modules, email confirmations, instructions, and videos made your BLS renewal easy and that you learned new life-saving tips. We appreciate you recommending CPR VAM to your healthcare friends and look forward to serving you again when your BLS is due in two years. Thanks again for choosing CPR VAM.

We used this CPR renewal program for the first time with our team of 21, and it exceeded our expectations! With four office locations and team members spread out, it can be challenging to coordinate CPR renewals. This program was the perfect solution. Everyone was able to complete the online portion at their own pace, then finish the in-office skills check whenever it fit our schedule, even between locations. Jeff was fantastic to work with and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this program, especially for medical and dental offices. Trying to close the office early, cut back on patient hours, or ask your team to stay late for CPR training is never ideal. This was, without a doubt, the easiest and most efficient CPR renewal we've ever done and it's the only way we'll be renewing our certifications going forward! Thank you, Jeff, for making this such a great experience!
