Gulf Coast Emergency Response Training

Sam was a great help

This is the first time I have written an online review. But I was so overwhelmed by the caliber of this business that I felt compelled to share my experience. I am a nurse and needed my BLS/CPR for HCP's updated and that is one of the services offered here. I have been through this same class (in different cities) 4 times over the last several years and each time I left thinking "If a situation arises where someone needs CPR, I won't do it".. I thought this because after the classes I still didn't feel like I was competent to perform CPR. That changed recently when I went in for a CPR skills session at Gulf Coast Emergency Response Training. First off, the owner, Tammy, scheduled me within a day of my contacting them and she performed my skills session one-on-one herself. She taught me things that I never was taught in all the previous CPR classes. The price was unbelievably low - $25. And what about the equipment! Brand new, CLEAN, mannequins that were electronic and had little lights on the shoulders. If you were performing the chest compressions correctly, you would get 3 green lights... if you were not, they were red. They also had AED's (defibrillators) that were just like the real thing. Previous classes I had taken didn't even have AED's, and the mannequins were dirty and scary looking. Bottom line is this: Because of the outstanding training I got from this place and Tammy in particular, I now feel competent to give CPR when the need arises, on adults, children, and even infants! And that is the whole goal of being CPR certified.
