Sunny P.
My two teenage children and I took the CPR/ First Aid class with Mikey today. We learned so much and had fun in the process. We had hands on experience to learn how to deliver CPR to adults and babies, what to do for choking, how to compress a wound, use a turniquet plus so many other emergency medical scenarios.
My children are starting to babysit and work at camps so this was such a wealth of information and practical knowledge for the whole family.
Mikey made the class fun and engaging plus showed us step by step until we felt comfortable. We left the class so glad we had attended.
Highly recommend for teens and adults.

I took the Adult and Pediatric CPR class and it was nothing short of amazing!
Mikey is an incredible, kind, and authentic instructor. She went far and beyond the modules...adding personal notes and advice drawn from her many years of experience in the field, which was so appreciated.
It was real, hands on, and I left feeling way more confident and prepared. Be ready to learn a lot more life saving tips than you think you will!
Absolutely recommend this class to anyone, whether you think you'll need it or not, this class is essential and I will absolutely be renewing my certification here.
Thank you Mikey and team, I had a wonderful experience!

Talene S.
Great course, time went quickly and learned a lot! Feel prepared to administer CPR on a child, infant, and adult if needed. Got to practice on dummies with lights that indicate correct pressure etc. Also did a segment on choking and went through lots of scenarios. Mikey was great, would recommend!

The training was detailed and hands-on. Mikey engaged the audience and ensured all had a complete understanding of topics before progressing forward. Emergency Response Experts made learning basic life support fun and I left with confidence in my abilities if required.

Jorge S.
One of the best CPR and First Aid Certifications in the city of LA. Mikey was hands on one of the best teachers in her field. We went and broke down the fundamentals of CPR and First aid in various scenarios and went hands on to use what we learn and practice CPR in the classroom. I highly recommend Mikey for CPR and First Aid Certifications as she goes above and beyond the AMERICAN RED CROSS OF DUTY to fill you in with all the information and scenarios you'll need to be confident in using CPR and First Aid when an emergency arises. Thank you again for a wonderful and well informative experience.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got questions? We've got answers
What is BLS and how is it different from standard cpr
BLS (Basic Life Support) is a higher-level resuscitation certification designed for healthcare professionals and students. Unlike standard CPR / First Aid, BLS covers multi-rescuer team scenarios, bag-mask ventilation, and advanced protocols that meet healthcare employment and licensure requirements.

The BLS course runs 5 hours (10:00 AM – 3:00 PM for open enrollment). It combines brief instruction with extensive hands-on practice — individual and team scenarios, AED drills, and airway management — all with an instructor-to-student ratio designed for real hands-on time.
