My only takeaway is that the room had no air circulation. The air in that room is really stagnant. The room temperature definitely made me lethargic and fatigued surprisingly fast while doing the exercises during my session which I’m certain decreased my performance. I had to open the windows. I was sweating like an NFL player. 😅 I did make sure to sanitize thoroughly with everything I touched. 😁 The service was exceptional. I received a text message with videos on the day of what to expect during the session. I was also able to watch RQI videos on YouTube beforehand. I called for support trying to find the location and received almost instant communication. Services couldn’t be better. I highly recommend this place. I was able to obtain my BLS certification online at my own pace for the knowledge part and for the in-person session, the test is really easy but a bit harder if you never done it before or haven’t done it in a really long time. Everybody’s experience will vary but you will for sure pass without a doubt. The chest compressions for the adult is where I struggled the most. You have to find that perfect balance with pressure and speed. Overall, it was an excellent experience. Clean environment, professional service, and easy to follow instructions. Please get a fan or some type of cooling system in there as the temperatures start to climb. 😉

I was skeptical that all of the skills training could be done in a completely automated fashion, but it couldn’t have been easier. The instructions on how to access the facility were very clear, the equipment was top-notch and it didn’t take too long. Highly recommend.

I’m a pediatric RN & took my PALS course with CPR VAM. I had a great experience - the check-in instructions were clear, the space was clean, & equipment was in great condition/easy to use! I even bumped into the owner, who was coming into clean the space, on my way out - he was very kind & helpful. Would recommend!!!
Quick, effective and great feedback. It was the same training I received in the hospital. Definitely would recommend to all levels needing to renew or get their BLS
