It has been years since I took a CPR class. I just recently got into a nursing program and it is needed. I decided on BLS Provider. I did the hybrid version which is online then the skills session, because of my hectic schedule. The online section is really helpful. It shows you videos and pictures. If you need more help it gives you access to the book. I was nervous when my skill test came up, because I didn't get to practice on the CPR dolls. I walked in and James Robinson was phenomenal. He went over what was expected and made sure I understood before I took the test. He made it enjoyable and soon I forgot I was taking CPR test and just performing without all the anxiety. He was awesome and I really salute him. I left with more knowledge and more confidence in performing CPR. Thank you Express Training Solutions and thank you James!!!
