I am so glad I randomly picked Ed Wheat's class. "The... Yetti" is the first CPR instructor that I have ever had that wasn't monotoned and rushing through the material. When I usually pass a CPR class I am still not confident that I could be successful at it if I had to do it. He took pride in teaching us practical real life scenarios and worked on our form until it was perfect. CPR is not a joke and everyone in that class can now preform perfect CPR under pressure, no problem. He said we would learn things we did not know about CPR by the end of the class and that ended up being very true. He was a fun guy so it made learning easy. He even let us practice on a choking dummy. I know when you pick a CPR class for your job, you want it to be quick and easy and move on, but you can't put a price on being taught properly and having confidence in your ability at the end. "The Yetti" should teach the teachers.read more

Definitely one of the best place I ever went to for BLS... certification. I was here for a BLS renewal and the experience was wonderful. I had pleasure of learning/trained under Chelsea, the walking boss. Everyone had their own adult manikin and infant manikin. Everything was clean and organized. The material was taught clear and precise. Everyone had their chance to get a 1 on 1 to make sure the skills were being done properly. I highly recommend this location.read more

Chelsea was a great instructor. She provided a stress free... learning environment, real life scenarios, and constructive feedback. This is my second BLS class at this location. I’ll continue to renew at the Palm Harbor location and recommend it to others. Thank you!read more
