Teri Littler-Frazier2025-03-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have over 45 years of nursing which required BLS, PALS, ACLS + AED. I can honestly state that Terry's class was one of the best in all of my history. His presentation is clear, concise + meaningful. He is oozing with knowledge, and willingly delivers it with ease. I doubt a living human has ever failed his class. I would highly recommend his class to everyone. Carly Owens2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
