Island CPR, Kona Office

"Island CPR, help me get ready for the Medical Assistant course and the NHA exam. First of all, l I want to thank Kara for being very patient with numerous calls with many questions. Never once did she make me feel like I was bothering her or wasting her time, she took the time to explain everything to me in detail and what to expect. It literally took me over 6 months to finally commit and start the Self-Pace class. In between of getting overwhelmed and wanting to quit, Kara continue to push me to finish and acknowledge that what I am feeling is normal and many want to and have quit the course. Annie, on the other hand I felt like I was always bothering her to a point I didn't want to call or email hoping I would NOT get her which I did. Whenever I asked her a question, there was always a LONG pause before she answered which made me feel VERY uncomfortable and like I was wasting her time. NEVER a word of support just the feeling of hurry up and get off the phone so she could go on her merry way. If I was to quit it would have been due to how she was treating me but thank goodness Kara gave a lot of support during my many times of meltdown. I feel we as students need support not made felt like we are pain and a bother like how Annie made me feel each and every time. Lastly, I would personally want to THANK my teacher Naomi. Naomi is a one of a kind. When I first met her on Lab 1, she makes you feel like you were not alone. Told me she will be there to help answer any questions, if she could not answer she would find it out and let me know. Not ONCE did she ever make me feel like I was a bother. Naomi was patient, told me what to expect and not to give up. NEVER made me feel like I was wasting her time. If you ever decide to this MA course be sure to take the class with Naomi as your teacher and no-one else. You will not regret it. I took the NHA exam about a month later and passed. It was not easy for me but I am so grateful for Naomi for all her support. Naomi supported me up to the day of the test with her positive smile and thumbs up before the test. That's why I have been referring others to take the MA course with Naomi. Island CPR should recognize Naomi for all she does to help all the students that go through the course. Sincerely Grateful to Naomi~~Also, I have a question regarding our certificate that we receive at the end of the course. Why is it that Naomi isn't one of the signatures on the certificate? She is the one that gave us support and helped us during Lab 1-3. Annie was not helpful or supportive while contacting her. I have heard many complaints about Annie while they also took the course. BTW: the 5 star is for Kara and Naomi!"

"Excellent experience. I just finished a Lifeguard course with Kara and her team and have nothing but excellent things to say. Professional and thorough throughout the class without being overbearing and boring. Let's face it..these classes can be boring but Island CPR kept it moving and as fresh as it can be. They made it an enjoyable experience. I definitely HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company for your educational needs"

"Its a great school. I learned so many great things when I went to this school. I was very young yet my instructor Tammy pushed me so hard so that I can believe myself. The people that works here are very amazing and very helpful."

"Great class, great instructor! Definitely recommend Kona CPR for individual or group."
