I was able to sign up within minutes, did my online portion same day, and within 24 hours was able to get into the lab to do skills on the mannequin.

We recently had Bayside CPR come to our location in Bethesda for a workplace training, and they exceeded all expectations! They were incredibly accommodating, providing two instructors (Kyle and Felipe) to teach simultaneously in English and Spanish for our group of 28 people.I was in Felipe’s class, and he was absolutely fantastic! With his extensive experience as a firefighter, he brought real-life examples that made the training engaging and practical. He explained everything clearly, making it easy to understand and retain the skills. The hands-on approach and interactive style kept everyone involved, and I walked away feeling confident in my ability to respond in an emergency.If you're looking for professional, well-structured CPR training, I highly recommend Bayside CPR. They make learning CPR easy, engaging, and effective!

# CPR Training Excellence: A 5-Star ExperienceI recently had the opportunity to attend a CPR certification course, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the professionalism that permeated every aspect of the training.The environment struck the perfect balance—professionally organized yet relaxed and inviting. This combination created an ideal learning atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and practicing techniques without feeling intimidated.What truly set this training apart was the consistently positive classroom experience. The session flowed smoothly from beginning to end, with well-structured content that built logically upon itself. There were no awkward pauses or confusion about what to do next—a testament to the thoughtful planning behind the curriculum.The instructors were exceptional, demonstrating both extensive knowledge and excellent teaching skills. Their expertise was evident not just in their clear explanations of CPR techniques, but also in their ability to address questions with confidence and precision. The well-educated staff made complex medical concepts accessible without oversimplification.Whether you're seeking certification for work requirements or personal peace of mind, I highly recommend this CPR training. The combination of professional instruction, welcoming atmosphere, and seamless execution makes it an outstanding value and potentially life-saving experience.

I recently took a CPR BLS class with Kyle Hastings as the instructor, and it was an outstanding experience. From the moment I arrived, Kyle's personable and understanding nature made a big difference. I mentioned that my son was sick at home with a fever and the flu, and without hesitation, he told me he would start the class immediately. I had arrived early, and the other student was stuck in traffic, but Kyle immediately offered to conduct the class 1:1 so I wouldn't have to wait. He was kind enough to even share tips on how to help bring my son's fever down.
The class itself was thorough, engaging, and left me feeling confident in my ability to perform life-saving BLS. I appreciated the hands-on approach and the opportunity to ask questions in a relaxed, personalized setting. I highly recommend this class with Kyle. His professionalism, combined with his compassion, made for a great experience that I’ll always remember.

This is my second time coming her for BLS Training and each time was Great.
I love that the instructors ask questions and keep you engaged in the course.
This time i did the online training and in person skills test.
From the time I walked in I felt welcomed by a friendly Instructor (I think her name was Shelly). She did give us the answers but encouraged us to think and be confident in our answers. The class was only 3 students who were there for renewals. The instructor made sure we understood each step and the reason we do them in a certain order.
I would recommend this place for anyone needing CPR, First Aid, BLS, PALS, ACLS and AED Training. Especially for 1st time students.
