Information About Each of Michele’s Certifications Classes for ACLS, BLS, and PALS
All of my classes are fun, interesting, and a joy to take. No one will be tortured. Beginners will learn many new things, and experienced will also learn something new. As long as you thoroughly study all of the AHA materials, I will be able to help you get through the exams successfully – and you will have a good time doing it. You will receive your AHA certification card in the mail after successfully completing the class. To take a re-cert class, you must bring your valid AHA card to class.

Testimonial
•My nursing professor Cathy Jansen at Nassau Community College recommended that I take Michele’s class for ACLS. Professor Jansen has previously taken Michele’s ACLS class. I really enjoyed Michele’s YouTube videos tremendously. And her Zombie Notes Study Charts were also a great way to comprehend the study material beforehand. As a student nurse, I have a great interest in critical care, which is Michele’s specialty. Michele is phenomenal. Her class was broken up between the lecture, the video, the written test, and the hands-on exam.
