“This was my second training with Take Action CPR, and it was even better than the first. Bob is incredibly knowledgeable, and I walked away having learned so much, and had a lot of fun in the process!”
“I've taken many CPR classes over the years, and none have been nearly as comprehensive as this class. It was thorough, engaging, interactive, and I learned new information!”
“Jonathan and Barb did an amazing job covering a lot of material in a relatively short amount of time. Presentation of the material is clear and left me feeling more prepared to act in the event of an emergency. It was engaging, hands on and well-executed.”
