Andreas Anastassatos2025-12-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed my BLS card for my EMS academy at TMCC. Terry who I am come to find out is the owner, is a really knowledgeable person. I would reccomend showing up early so you can find parking and go inside the building to the second floor. Terry has a good set up, he means business and is ready to answer questions and give great advice. Highly recommended Patrick Watson2025-11-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent instructor, class was well taught and he is very informative.

The instructor has a ton of experience and was able to properly correct our efforts without making us feel dumb. He was both patient and professional in all dealings. Kevin Breach2025-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The instructor for the class was very helpful and flexible to help me get my certification when I needed it with short notice. AHA’s website was down the day of our class, but the instructor was prepared with alternatives to help me still get my AHA certification that day. Diane Rea2025-11-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The class was very informative and the hands-on were great. Larry is a very thorough teacher and was eager to answer any and all questions and explained different situations to help us understand the “why”. I would recommend his class to anyone. Jenna Meng2025-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is by far the easiest recertification class I've done. By that I mean efficient content, flexible scheduling, and actually educational. I came out feeling more confident and knowledgeable even beyond the basics of ACLS - Terrance is a great teacher, knows his stuff, and taught me real-life applications on top of the recertification-required knowledge. Would recommend this to any medical professional looking to have or maintain these BLS/ACLS skills Rachel Borreson2025-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
