It was very easy to schedule, i even had to reschedule and an employee named Shelly was so unbelievably amazing! I booked BLS and you do an online portion, and then come in person for the mannequins practice. It’s a room with a computer and the tools you need with instructions everywhere. Very easy to understand and super easy to do. I will 100% come back here for my recertification and other certifications i may need.

This was such a great experience. With a busy schedule as a student working full time, this made getting my CPR renewed so much less stressful. I got a flat tire the day of my appointment and they answered my call immediately and was able to reschedule me even a couple hours beforehand. All information needed was provided clearly, making the whole experience very smooth and not a stress at all!! Thank you for having this setup !

RN here who quickly needed ACLS for a travel assignment. Same Day CPR / Bayside CPR AED Training was very easy to use. Scheduling, testing, and hands on RQI was effective in delivering important ACLS knowledge, so although the process was speedy, I didn’t loose out on education! I received my ACLS card immediately upon completion 🙂 If you’re someone who is not familiar with RQI, I recommend watching the videos sent to you the day before your scheduled appointment. There was ample street parking, and the guide to the mannequin room was very easy to follow. 10/10 I recommend Same Day CPR!

I had a great experience! I completed the online course first and was a little nervous going in for my skills assessment since I’m new to the healthcare field and preparing for nursing school. But the instructions they sent ahead of time were very clear, and the walkthrough video made it easy to know exactly where to go and what to expect. During the session, the instruction provided was excellent and made everything feel simple and manageable. All you really have to do is read and follow the steps. I highly recommend them, especially if you’re new to CPR or feeling unsure. Thank you for making the process so smooth!

Did the online portion, learned a lot. Then I came in for the skills test. Even though I thought I was pretty knowledgeable after the online course, it was very helpful to have the mannequin and the machine to practice with to make sure I got it right. I ran into a bit of trouble with the infant because I have big hands, but luckily there was someone overseeing the test, and they suggested I change over to the two thumbs technique, which worked like a charm. I not only checked off a box but I was able to make sure I learned it right; all in all great service.

Very straightforward, manikins/laptop guide you through everything. Was in and out within an hour, and received my certificate (in my email) less than a minute after passing the skills training. Would recommend to anyone looking to get BLS/ACLS/PALS certified!
