The CPR training lab at Forth Worth was a no brainer. It was so convinient, I could choose from multiple timeslots, the access to building was straight forward, the environment super clean. The feedback from the computer generated CPR was accurate and directly tailored to my compressions. AND I was done in 30 mins. Great experience. I will definitely return next recertification period.

Isabella Martin

This was my first time getting CPR certified, and I didn’t really know what to expect — but it ended up being way easier and more interesting than I thought. I went to the Houston location and used the RQI station, which was super simple to follow. The machine gave me instant feedback, so I knew exactly how to fix things and get it right. It felt more like a hands-on game than a class, and I actually learned a lot. I was nervous going in, but now I feel way more confident. I’d definitely recommend this for other teens who need to get certified!

Jennifer Martin

This was the best, most efficient CPR certification experience I’ve had. I went to the lab in the North Houston office and used their RQI station — such a huge improvement over the traditional classroom-style courses I’ve done in the past. No long lectures or waiting around for everyone to take turns practicing. Instead, I got real-time feedback, which helped me adjust and improve right on the spot. It was interesting to see how precise you have to be, and kind of fun, too. If you’re used to the old-school method, this new approach is a total game-changer. Highly recommend!
