- I used to attend that school. They have cancelled the classes and left all of the students on the street with $25,000 loans which must be paid back even when the program was not completed.
Please do not waste your time and money there. you will not graduate. I spent 13 months studying for nothing.

- As the other review states. Service is horrible. I paid 75 for a First Aid, CPR and AED class that lasted less than 2 hours. After more than two weeks I received the wrong certification on the mail. I called them back and they claimed the card was "all inclusive" . I called the AHA and was told the card was wrong. Spend your money elsewhere.
