This class was very educational and helpful to adding to my knowledge of first aid/cpr/aed. The instructor was great and I would refer this class to someone else.

What impressed me the most was the emphasis on hands-on practice. We had plenty of quality equipment (mannequins and AED trainers), and the instructor provided immediate, constructive feedback. I left the class feeling genuinely confident and prepared to perform CPR and use an AED in a real emergency, which is the whole point of taking the course! If you need your certification or recertification, whether for professional or personal reasons, look no further. This class covered not just the "how-to," but the critical "why" behind the techniques. 10/10 - I will definitely be returning here for my renewal! Dr. G

I’ve taken many courses over the years and David led one of the best trainings. Very practical, memorable, and the “meat and potatoes“ of what we needed to know in CPR, AEDs, and Abdominal Thrusts. Highly recommend!

Incredibly content with my First Aid Cpr Aed certification training. Very informative and interactive. Highly recommended. My instructor, Sean Neely, did a phenomenal job at teaching.

From start to finish this was the best CPR training I’ve had. The information was delivered clearly and concisely and being able to practice on manikins that had lights to guide you if you were doing compressions at the correct speed and depth was extremely helpful. Being able to use the AED was so helpful! I feel very confident in my skills after this class and I cannot say that prior to! Highly recommend!

I did the blended First aid, Adult CPR, and pediatric CPR course. It went over a lot of new and detailed information online. The in person certification was also informative and great to be hands on. The instructor was very helpful in answering extra questions as well as going over the procedures and scenarios. Definitely recommending this location.

Great place to get certified or renew your CPR certification! I took a hybrid class this time for CPR, AED & First Aid: half online and half classroom. The class was thorough, yet quick enough to accomplish in an afternoon and the instructors at CPR Training school were fabulous. Thanks for helping me get my certificate up to date!!! I feel prepared to help if needed in an emergency!

David is a knowledgeable, experienced and packed with practical knowledge to help inform and teach first aid, cpr along with AED usage.

David presents the material in positive, interactive, and real life methods. He keeps you engaged and provides you with a comfortable learning atmosphere. His insight brought key applications that I had never considered (sending someone for an AED can be a wild goose chase. Know your environment - I walk pass the AED every day but could not have told someone go to workroom hall and get the AED). I recommend this location in Alpharetta - cute old house and I most definitely recommend David. I will search for him in my next renewal!

My class was lead by Laura McDonald. She is the best instructor! She taught with engaging activities and gave pop quizzes to make sure all students understood the content being taught. I remember every step and safety precaution a person should take for CPR, AED, and First Aid. Thank you CPR Training School!

They make the CPR/AED certification fun and understandable, I have used them twice now for my certification/renewals and I never have a problem using this school. Staff is friendly, facility is clean and welcoming, and they have enough equipment for you to do as much practicing as you need. Staff is very knowledgeable as well so I was able to get all my questions answered; Highly recommend this place.

Great Training program. They offer a wide variety of CPR related classes and have a very flexible schedule that accommodates us working folks that need to squeeze this in for work. Knowledgeable trainers and they have up to date, clean equipment to learn with. It was actually a fun experience obtaining my new CPR/AED/Blood Borne Pathogens certification. The sincere personalities of the staff make all the difference as well. P.S. they also have programs for young adults (babysitters, older siblings, ect.)
