Student Success Stories
Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what actual students have said about their experience at Joe’s CPR Shack!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I needed CPR certification for my new job and found Joe’s online. The price was right and the location was… unique. But Joe really knows his stuff! I learned everything I needed and saved money compared to those fancy training centers. Plus I got a pretty good sandwich from the 7-Eleven after class.”
— Marcus T., Retail Manager
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Honestly, when I pulled up and saw ’the shack,’ I almost kept driving. But I’d already paid, so I went in. Best decision ever! Joe is super knowledgeable and makes learning fun. The training dummy has definitely seen better days, but it gets the job done. My employer accepted the certification no questions asked!”
— Jennifer K., Teacher
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Joe taught me CPR when I was 16 for my babysitting jobs. I’m 32 now and just renewed my certification with him for the third time. He’s a local treasure. Also, Resusci-Randy is still there and looks exactly the same, which is both impressive and concerning.”
— Sarah L., Registered Nurse (Yes, really!)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Five stars. Would do again. Actually, I have to do it again in 2 years.”
— Dave R.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My company sent 6 of us to get certified. Joe was great! Very patient with our questions. The shack was smaller than I expected but we all fit. The $35 group rate was clutch. Randy (the dummy) was terrifying but effective. 10/10 would compress again.”
— Team from DataSync Solutions
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I took the Infant & Child CPR class before my first grandchild was born. Joe was wonderful and so informative. He even let me practice extra because I was nervous. The vintage baby doll he uses is from the ’90s and has a slightly demonic look, but it didn’t bother me much. I feel much more confident now!”
— Patricia M., Proud Grandma
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Lost one star because the bathroom situation (having to use the 7-Eleven) was inconvenient. But Joe’s teaching was excellent and I actually used what I learned six months later when someone collapsed at the gym. They were fine! Thanks Joe!”
— Brandon H., Personal Trainer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“That’s my boy! So proud of him for following his dreams.”
— Joe’s Mom
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I was skeptical about the ‘shack’ but Joe’s prices beat everyone else in town by at least $30. You get what you pay for usually, but in this case you get MORE than you pay for. Joe is legit certified and really cares about teaching people properly. Yeah, it’s a shed behind a 7-Eleven, but who cares? I can save lives now.”
— Christina R.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Took the refresher course. In and out in 90 minutes, renewed my cert, and Joe even gave me a ride to pick up my car from the mechanic down the street because my wife was running late. Above and beyond!”
— Tom S.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Best $45 I ever spent. Joe is patient, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. The hands-on practice was invaluable. I’ve recommended Joe’s to at least a dozen people. Yes, it’s a literal shack. Yes, the training equipment is old. But Joe is the real deal and that’s what matters.”
— Amanda P., Dental Hygienist
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I showed up expecting a joke and left with a legitimate CPR certification and a new appreciation for Joe. This man is living his dream in a shed behind a 7-Eleven and I respect that energy. Also, I can save lives now, so that’s cool.”
— Kyle M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Joe taught CPR to our entire office (all 8 of us) and was super professional. He even stayed late to finish because we asked a lot of questions. Shoutout to Joe for being flexible and affordable. Shoutout to Randy the dummy for surviving another class despite his visible wear and tear.”
— Michelle & the Team at Riverside Insurance
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“As a new parent, I wanted to be prepared for anything. Joe’s Infant & Child CPR class was exactly what I needed. He was patient with all my anxious questions and made sure I was confident before I left. Don’t let the location fool you — Joe is a pro.”
— Rachel B., First-Time Mom
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve taken CPR classes at hospitals and community centers. Joe’s class was just as thorough, way cheaper, and honestly more memorable. You don’t forget learning CPR in a shack. Also, Joe tells the best stories about his past saves.”
— Derek W., Firefighter Volunteer
