Prism is the only place I will ever go to to get my CPR renewal ever again. I took Tom's BLS (basic life saving) course today. This is a course intended for anyone in the health professions like nurses and emt's. This is traditionally a 6 to 8 hour long class. Tom cuts out a lot of the overly dramatized instructional video to help save some time (for that alone I would pay double!) You practice on mannequins designed to light up if you are preforming correctly. We went over how to preform CPR on adults, children and babies in 1 person and 2 person scenarios as well as how to handle choking incidents. We also went over using bag masks and AED machines. The class was 4 hours long, I feel like I learned and practiced everything I needed to know without wasting any time.
I would also prefer giving my money to a family business rather than a hospital or franchised corporation. The class was $40, but vary depending on the level of certification you need.
If you have somehow found this review not looking for a CPR class or are on the fence, I urge you to take the class. There were times I teared up in class thinking about being in a situation where a loved one needs CPR and having to stand by and watch and hope that the paramedics show up in time. Its a skill everyone should have!
