21 years of Active Duty service and I’ve received this training dozens of time. I’ve never sat through a more professional in depth training than the one Dani led. I’d highly recommend anyone who needs life saving training to First Coast CPR!

Just finished my BLS/CPR course and I enjoyed every second of it. Dani was amazing! She was organized and very knowledgeable of the course. She asked us questions to make sure we are all on track, overall great experience! I would definitely come back for my renewal. Thank you Dani!

This my second BLS class I have taken at First Coast Training Center. Dani is an amazing instructor. She provided info on the rational for the importance of the timing of interventions. When I understand the science behind the algorithims I retain it! I learned more about CPR, AED use and choking interventions than I have ever learned in my 30 year career as a nurse. Love First Coast Training Center!!

Went to the class on 8/31. The instruction was great. I cannot remember her name, but if I could give her a 10 I would. PLUS they had snacks.

I highly recommend First Coast CPR for BLS /CPR license. I have learned so much in that class and even if you don't need it for your job, it is priceless knowledge for emergency situations. The atmosphere of the class was relaxed and all the tools were provided, very clean environment. The instructor, Monica, was very knowledgeable, had very interesting stories and I learned a great deal!!!

This was one of the best CRP classes I have attended for BCLS. Dani was knowledgeable and personable. The content was presented clearly with an opportunity to demonstrate our grasp of the steps frequently throughout the course. All precautions were taken to ensure the safety of the participants including each having their own table with an infant and adult dummy as well as an AED. I highly recommend!

Comfortable environment conducive to learning. The class size is relatively small, and interactive. Amazing stories and examples from real clinical experiences shared by the instructors who are real HERO'S! I LEARNED and I LOVE IT

Great experience from start to finish. Easy to sign up, class started on time, finished on time, the office was easy to find. Everyone was very nice, everything was nice and clean. My only complaint is that I was unable to apply the military discount when checking out. Plus they have so many classes to choose from it was so easy to get signed up for a class…very convenient!!!

This is my 2nd renewal I have done with First Coast CPR. I highly recommend going here when you need to renew or get your BLS! I've had 2 different instructors and both were amazing, kept the class interesting and were great at teaching the material. Thank you so much! I'll be back to renew in 2 years!

This was my 2nd class. It was fast remember why I went back vs going elsewhere. They are always so kind. The facility is always clean. They have snacks. The good ones. But the best part is the Instructors. The energy they give is always high. You won’t fall asleep. They ensure you receive the information make sure you get it correct. They are also so realistic. Dany was my instructor and she was amazing. I’ll be back in 24 months

I have been coming to First Coast CPR ever since I was a nursing student.

The instructor was incredibly kind and very knowledgeble in my Basic Life Support cpr class! I went in knowing absolutely nothing about CPR and came out feeling like I could do it at any moment. I highly recommend this location to anyone who is trying to qualify for medical programs or are just generally interested in learning how to act in an emergency setting!

I enjoyed the BLS class instructed by Emily. Emily provided a comfortable environment. She kept us laughing while making the class educational and interactive! Whether you’re looking to become certified or looking to renew don’t hesitate - book your training class with First Coast CPR!!
Angela Boone

Emily Rice was an extremely amazing teacher. Her energy was infectious! She made it easy to learn & easier to be uncomfortable in a room full of strange expected to perform potential life-saving measures. If it’s your First class, you might walk in nervous, but her down-to-earth teaching style will quickly relieve any worries or doubts you might have. She is good at correcting you kindly & making sure she answered any and all questions you might have. You WANT to take this class with her!

I have had CPR training for years and years working in the medical field, but this was by far the most hands on and enjoyable. I feel I have retained more information than I ever have before. I'm the type that can freeze up when there is an emergency but I feel like I will not after this class. David was charismatic and fun, to boot. I will be returning every two years to be recertified. Highly recommend.

The young man who greeted me was very professional, warm, and welcoming. He demonstrated this with each customer that entered the building or who called on the phone. He deserves 5 stars. Great customer service is hard to come by these days.I was there for a Live Scan and didn't receive the same quality service. T. Smith, the staff person, performed the fingerprint scan. I was uncomfortable when she wrote my private data on the back of a piece of paper. Upon completion of the service, I requested my personal information be shredded. Seemingly agitated by the request, Smith stated she has access to many customers' information and is not going to do anything with mine. As that offered no comfort, I again asked for the paper to be shredded. She further stated she has something to do with the contents on the opposite side of the document and would get to it.By this time, I'm experiencing an overwhelming feeling of anxiety and disdain for the lack data security practiced for their customers. In noticing a marker on the desk, I handed it to Smith requesting her to redact my information from the back of the document laying out in the open. She haphazardly scribbled over it leaving the info exposed.At this time, I exited the building to report this to the vendor to mitigate other customers from possible security breeches such as this.Know it is the right of individuals to have control over their data. It's unfortunate I had to fight for that right with First Coast CPR.

I did the fingerprint scan for my contractor license background check, it was super easy, the lady who did the scan was really nice, and the cost was way better than other places that I researched, I really like how they sent you reminders and kept you informed with emails or texts if any changes have been made to their schedule. This place is a must for any kind of Live Scan fingerprinting or medical training classes! I will definitely be recommending to anybody who needs these services

I have had many CPR/AED and Advance Life support classes over the years.... I would have to say this was the most detailed and thorough class I have taken. It wasn't just a class to help you get the card but a hands on experience that taught me many things that I had not learned in previous years. I would definitely recommend this class. A++++ to the instructor Carlos as well. He made the class a fun and interactive learning experience!

This is my 3rd BLS class I've taken in about 4.5 years and I have to say- I really enjoyed it (which I wasn't expecting). Carlos was my instructor and he was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. I really liked how he used upbeat songs to go along with the compressions so you could keep up with the rhythm...which helped keep me on track. This class was also pretty affordable too (compared to other establishments). I'll be back in 2 years for sure. 😁

First Coast Training Center is by far the best CPR training center I have ever been to. The ability to complete an online module at home and go in for a skills session made the whole process so simple and easy. Additionally, this business is an outstanding supporter of working moms! I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to find childcare for my 2 month old and upon reaching out to First Coast Training Center, I was told that as long as she could stay quiet in her car seat or stroller for the 30 minute skills check, I could bring her with. Ultimately, I found someone to watch her for the brief time of the skills session but the flexibility and support I felt as a working mother was phenomenal and for that, First Coast Training Center will always have my business!!

We had a group of 15 people at our dental practice get CPR training from First Coast CPR. Carlos was our instructor and it was honestly the best CPR class that I've personally ever attended. Everybody else that was there had the same feedback. We hope to have him again when it's time to renew all of our certifications. He is absolutely hilarious and keeps the class engaged the entire time. The instruction was very practical and hands on which allowed all of us to work on our technique. 10/10 Recommend 🙂

Took the CNA prep course and the CPR class, also booked my state test at this facility. I have nothing but praise for every part. Good thorough explanations, wonderfully personable and likeable instructors and all nicely paced enough that I could easily follow along despite a slight learning disability. If you want to pass the state exam in one go, you need what this place offers. Absolutely phenomenal

Carlos is the bomb!! I’ve never had such and informative and fun class ever! I would recommend him over and over again. I was a little tired as it was at the end of the workday for our office but the energy he brought was awesome! He was attentive and had great helpful information, better and more retention than I would have had using any other class or book. The final test was great with the scenario. I will be doing my re certifications with them as long as he’s teaching! Thank you Carlos!

I took a test online with a different service and was very upset that The state of Florida didn't accept it. I had to retake it in person at First Coast and oh my goodness... This class was everything. Our Instructor was amazing and funny and very good at what she does. So happy I took it in person just to be able to meet our instructor. The facility was immaculate, so clean and fresh. She had refreshments fresh hot coffee and cold water. The experience is highly recommended. She made the experience worth while.

This was by far the best CPR course I have taken during my 25 years in healthcare. They made it comfortable, easy and without any stress what-so-ever. I also walked away more confident with being able to perform CPR than from any other course. The equipment was in good shape and the classroom was conducive to learning. I highly recommend First Coast Training Center.

I had an amazing experience at First Coast Training Center. I had already taken the CNA class, but was also signed up for the CPR class. It went by very quickly and was taught really well. It was really easy to remember because of the way we were taught. The energy was great in the room, and there was a lot of practice. I definitely recommend taking any classes at First Coast training. It won’t disappoint!

Great informative class. I did it with my kids and feel so much better they have taken this class. Carlos, our instructor, was one of the best teachers I have ran across. He’s makes the class enjoyable and interesting for even kids in a subject that could be very dreadful. Totally recommend. I already have friends that are signing up.

I thoroughly enjoy the CPR courses at this facility. The instructors are always nice, and focus on making sure you have the proper technique and feel comfortable performing your skills before you leave. This was my first course since the pandemic, and their sanitation and social distancing standards were great! I highly recommend anyone in need of training, to attend the course at this facility.

Marco was an amazing teacher! He made the BLS class fun and engaging while being serious about the topic. He allowed questions and explained things so that someone who had never taken a CPR class before could understand clearly. At the end of class, I felt confident that everything he taught would stick with me. I definitely recommend First Coast!
Sopheak U
1617803651
Hey Marco!! Your class made those hours fly by so quick, I barely noticed. Class room is clean and everyone has their own equipment to work with. Also at each desk is a little step stools so you can be higher than the dummy that's on the table so you can perform comfortably in a controlled environment. The cards came extremely quick via email after training was done. Overall 10/10 experience.

I’ve taken three different certifications with this company and I have not been disappointed once. Every instructor has been knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Making the learning environment and experience exceptional. The location is easy to find and has plenty of parking. Office and classroom are clean with plenty of WORKING equipment. Schedule your next certification with them, you will NOT be disappointed.

I have been in the health field for over 30 years. This is one time I can truly say CPR class was not a total chore. The instructor, Heather, was very engaging and through. The facility was clean. Hospitality welcoming. Most of all the equipment was top notch. Also we were given key chain mouth barriers. The price can't be beat. I suggest if you have to pay for the class yourself go to First Coast Training Center. If you are a corporation, First Coast Training Center is who you should call.

He was very comfortable with the topic/material and was able to answer any questions without any hesitation.

The office and classroom are very clean and bright (very important during this time of COVID). Snack and drinks were also provided ant no extra charge. Overall, it was truly a great experience.

After being a nurse for 30yrs, I actually found an enjoyable way to renew my BLS Certification!!! I left First Coast Training Center smiling from ear to ear, totally prepared to respond to any person requiring life saving CPR! Don't wait 30 years! Take my advice and schedule your class today. Even if you don't expire now- you will gain confidence and feel like you have gone to a comedy show!

Excellent course! Excellent presentation! Let's face it folks, a skill like this is perishable if you don't practice or think it over in your head regularly. The instructor, Carlos, presented everything you need to know about CPR in such a way, you cannot forget the skill. Thank you, First Coast!

This class was fantastic, which is strange to say about a CPR renewal course. I’ve taken about 5 different courses over the years and there is no doubt that this place is my favorite. The class has no wasted time meaning every minute was efficient and necessary. The instructor was funny and interactive and the time flew by. Additionally the cost was very affordable compared to other courses I found. As long as I live in this area First Coast CPR is going to be the only place I use!!

Our instructor, Carlos, was exceptional. He was very engaging and there was no shortage of laughter. He entertained, and educated us throughout the process. We walked away from class with smiles knowing we were each a Superhero empowered and ready to save the day. I would highly recommend them/him.

I had taken a CPR class many years ago, and I have never experienced a training such as this one. The gentleman that was giving the class was very motivated and that positive energy that he had, he projected it to all of us. I think you guys have a well trained personal that are capable of presenting this class in a very professional and fun way for people to love it. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Came in a few days ago to receive my BLS certificate, left feeling like a life saver. I only got two hours of sleep the night before , so I figured I was going to fall asleep listening to a 4 hour lecture. Marco did quiet the opposite. He kept everyone in the class focused, entertained and busy. There was a lot of hands on, which was great! He made the class an absolute blast while providing everyone with the necessary information to be able to save a life if it comes down to it. Marco plays music while you perform compressions which really helps you to get the right rhythm. There’s snacks and coffee for break time! I will be recommending Marco to everyone and can’t wait to be back in 2 years!!! 😀

I have been taking BLS for over thirty years. Carlos the instructor was fun, engaging without forgetting the importance of this skill. I imagine other services and classes are just as excellent. The fee was extremely reasonable in that I did look at other places and frankly this is second to none in regards to that. The facility was clean and nice! Thank you for making my usual 2year renewal so much fun!

Carlos was AWESOME and made our training such a fun experience!! He was extremely knowledgeable, and the way he instructed us was really fun and upbeat. I felt I was able to retain the information better, because of the unique way he taught us and correlated the instructions with jokes and music. His playlist was perfect, and he even threw in some dance moves. He was very informative but funny, and made an important training course more enjoyable. He made sure we understood the seriousness of the course, yet made jokes along the way. Loved the class and would highly recommend him.
