Our instructor was very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable and confident during the entire class. He was repetitive, in a good way, which helped me remember key details to be able to perform proper high quality CPR, as well as pass the test. I would recommend Chicago Metro CPR to anyone who needs to take the class!

The instructor is very knowledgeable and helpful! When I was not using the correct CPR technique they helped me fix my posture to ensure high quality CPR. The facility and center has a lot of resources they provided us with during training to enrich our hands-on experience and test our knowledge of proper CPR training. I will definitely be recommending this center to friends and family to become CPR certified. It is lifesaving cource everyone should take!

The instructor (Tom) was personable, patient and thorough! I left class with a much better understanding of EKG rythms than I have ever had. I feel confident that the foundational learning I got from him will have lasting effects and I highly recommend this location for ACLS!!!

Ive been doing my CPR/ACLS classes with this company for years. Theyre taught by paramedics generally and they cut to the chase, give a lot of good hints and dont waste your time. Plus, they have a lot of different times, for those of us who might wait until the last minute. I always recommend them.

5 stars all around, amazing instructor. Very in depth training with a highly competent Lead Instructor who demonstrated and taught very deep concepts with ease and clarity. I recommend this facility for certification and recertification for AHA BLS CPR and AED training for the Healthcare Provider.

I was very lucky to stumble upon Chicago Metro CPR. I did the online portion of the course and did the in person testing the next morning. I was very impressed with the cleanliness, friendliness and overall knowledge as well as the way it was presented. I was with a small group, 3 students to 1 instructor. The hands on portion was relatively quick and easy to follow along. I would definitely recommend Chicago Metro CPR and I will definitely use them in the future when it comes time to renew.

Vi
Review №21

Fast and easy CPR certification. Complete the online AHA course, which was comprehensive and interactive. The in-person part is modified for COVID-19 protocols. So small groups where each person got their own practice dummy. Dummy’s were well functioning that let you know if your compressions were proper depth. Overall a good program.

Review №22

Since I am a medical student, time is precious to me. When I knew that I had to sign up for BLS recertification, I was worried that it would take up too much of my study time. But, Chicago Metro CPR Downers Grove helped me get the most out of my recertification experience in a timely and efficient manner. I will be recommending them to all of my student colleagues that are in the area! Thank you, Chicago Metro CPR, for making this a smooth and simple process for me!

Review №24

I love being able to do most of my ACLS, PALS and BLS certifications online, coming in for a relatively quick in person skills session. So happy I found Chicago Metro CPR. I have been to both the Downers Grove and Chicago locations. Both times the instructors were professional and efficient. I also required multiple reschedulings (my fault, not theirs) and again things were seamless. Will definitely be coming back for my future recertifications.

Review №25

Signing up for a class was very simple. I had a schedule change and was able to easily reschedule my class by calling the office. This was my first ACLS course and it was both thorough while being respectful of the individual class’s time and needs.

Review №26

The BLS course I took prior to going to in-person training was awesome. I loved being able to take it on my own time and how the program catered the instructions to your specific level of learning/understanding of the material. It really helped me learn it more. The instructor at the Downers Grove location, where I went to demonstrate my skills was pleasant, calm and very sanitary. It only took me 15 minutes to demonstrate my skills and it was done in a great, socially distanced way - even 2-person CPR! He had myself and another individual work on two different dummies, 6 feet apart, while performing the same two person CPR. It was great and I will continue to use Chicago Metro CPR for all my future BLS certification renewals!

Due to covid-19 my CPR license had lapsed and our regular route for renewing was not available.i am so glad I found the Chicago Metro CPR classes. I renewed in a relaxed, safe and socially distanced facility with a really great and down to earth teacher. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a place to receive or renew a CPR license.

First time taking a class with Chicago Metro CPR, and the experience was excellent! The instructor, Edward, was incredibly friendly and helpful. He explained things in ways that were easy to understand, and I really liked how he took the time to give rationales at the end so wed learn from our mistakes. The environment was nice and conducive to learning; they offered water or coffee in the back. Great experience! Id definitely come back here for my renewals.

Experience was 100%. I went for Skills Session (after online Heartcode modules). Mike, the instructor was very thorough with review and step by step instruction. He got everyone involved. Only reason why I’d consider a 4-star is because the exact location in the strip mall was hard to find. They need a bigger sign

Affordable and instructor was knowledgeable (works as a first responder so has first hand experience with CPR) and courteous. Class was completed in a reasonable amount of time and overall a great experience. My favorite CPR course by far.

I really enjoyed my experience of the hands-on training that I received at the Downers Grove location of Chicago Metro CPR. It was a very straight-forward and informative session that went by quicker than I had expected. The instructor was very kind and helpful, making sure that each of his student performed each task correctly.

Review №52

First off the place was very clean, and with this covid virus going around they took extra precautions by limiting the amount of people in the room and disinfecting everything before giving the manikins to the students. The instructor was very nice as well, and gave us more information than the video that would help us in the long run. It was a great experience, and I am happy that I took it here!

Review №53

Chicago Metro in Downer’s Grove is a great place to get BLS certified. I scheduled my hands-on class and completed the online portion first. It was very easy to work through. At the location, Thomas was a great instructor. He was committed to following the COVID guidelines during the class. He was also very knowledgeable about all the information for BLS. The best thing was that I was done in 30 minutes or less.

I have returned here for years to renew my BLS for Health Care CPR/American Heart Association CPR here and I just love it. The instructors are all very experienced and will individually help you out. The location is easy to find, plenty of parking, clean and comfortable. Its open book and notes now, so no more test jitters...and staff goes out of their way to really get you certified ASAP.

I took this class for the nursing program at my school. The place was very clean and we were socially distanced. My instructor, Katherine, was super nice and very helpful in teaching us BLS/CPR/AED. This was my first CPR training class and I am super glad I did it in person rather than online. I would definitely recommend this class to a friend or family member.

Chicago Metro CPR has been great for us as a team! The rates are reasonable and we can complete the exercises at our own pace, online. The practical test was held in our office so we were able to choose when the most convenient time would be for our schedule! I would recommend Chicago Metro CPR to our community of Dentists and Oral Surgeons!

Review №86

I took the BLS class at the Downers Grove location since I felt more confident seeing an AHA approved location that was 1)close and 2)not at a private residence.It was reassuring to see our instructor, Michael, properly follow COVID social distancing guidelines. We had modifications to the two-person rescue activities, but I still felt like I was able to gain a comprehensive understanding. He offered great insight, was very friendly, and gave constructive criticism to help us better our skills and technique before moving forward!I know for sure Ill be coming back to recertify and Id definitely recommend my friends and family to take classes here.

Another awesome experience at the Downers Grove location. The instructor Thomas Gahagan was friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, and engaging. Although theres much to cover in the class, the time flew by. The videos were well done and showed various scenarios with thorough explanation afterward. The practice mannequins have lights that give feedback on the depth and speed of compressions to help improve ones CPR skills. I highly recommend this class to everyone.
