Anna Griffin, EMT, CPR

Anna’s class was excellent. The best CPR class I’ve taken because she is clear, informed and gives opportunities to practice with the bodies — the most important piece so you don’t need to think about it in a real emergency situation. 2.5 hours is the perfect amount of time to focus on children and infants. She provides just the right amount of information to not feel overwhelmed and to actually remember what to do. I highly recommend this class to all parents, grandparents and caregivers for children and babies. It could be the difference between life and death.

Anna teaches a very informative, and a very affirmative class. She does a great job of delivering real training in a short amount of time, making you more effective and more confident in case of a crisis.
I got a lot out of this class and Anna actually made it fun, despite pretty scary subject matter. I definitely feel more prepared now.
Thank you, Anna!

How funny that I found her by searching google and never thought of searching Unilocal!But I have to agree with the reviews now that I see she is on this site… FIVE star all the way. I have been through several courses and instructors over the years, and hands down Anna and her team were professional, experienced, and had just the right amount of stories, video, handouts, group presentation material and 1:1 to make it interesting, and fun. The whole class (all attendees) seemed very happy with the pace, and information provided. This was an on-​site (came to our company) and presented First Aid/​CPR/​AED. I would call upon her and her team again for a re-​cert. or recommend to others. (by word of mouth and sites like this). Thanks Anna!

Anna came and trained our whole company on-​site. It was a great session, fast-​paced and super practical. She’s excellent!

I have taken Anna’s class for ten years! I’ve taken it for a total of about 4 times in the past ten years with the most recent being this last week. I initially took her class to learn Infant/​Child CPR for my newborn and then kept taking her classes every other year to brush up since she keeps up to date with the new methodology for infant/​child CPR. I have also had her host infant/​Child CPR at my house twice in the past ten years. I think she is excellent, thorough and builds muscle memory and confidence in her students. I will continue to take her class over and over as the years go on… she is easy to learn from, fun, easy going and honest.

I recently organized a CPR class for the childcare providers in our babysitter’s collective and Anna was great. Most of us had been certified before so we had experiences to compare it too. One of the sitter said «This is the first time I have taken a CPR class and felt like I could actually administer CPR.» It’s true, Anna teaches well.
Anna is interactive and bright. She uses a multimedia approach but doesn’t leave the teaching to the book or the video. Things are repeated so that you have a grasp on what you are doing and then they were practiced so that they were integrated. I can still heat the theme song in my head.
There is something that feel really silly about giving CPR to a dummy and what I loved about how Anna taught was that she made room for the giggles without ever taking the topic lightly.
I highly recommend working with Anna Griffin if you need to be CPR certified.

I’d never taken a CPR class so this was my first time and even though I knew it was important, I wasn’t too excited about it. From the very beginning though it held my attention and gave me lots of useful information, like the top 5 foods toddlers are most likely to choke on.
The class was also interactive and involved a lot of actual practicing of maneuvers and techniques instead of just learning from a book.
Anna was a perfect teacher too. She was very competent with a lot of field experience to share and she was extremely well informed with up to date best practices. I never realized that CPR training is constantly being updated and one should get retrained annually.

She was great! A CPR class from 9am to 3pm could be boring and hard to sit through but she made it fun and entertaining! I will see her in 2 years for sure!

I organized an infant/​child CPR class in Spanish for a group of nannies from my mother’s group. Anna did a wonderful job teaching the class, she had everyone engaged and energized – this is not a boring class! The class was so well taught and immensely useful, I highly recommend getting a group together and having Anna teach it. Thanks Anna!

My husband and I took an infant CPR class about a year ago from Anna and today my 9 month old daughter chocked on something and couldn’t breath. Thankfully my husband knew what to do from Anna class and was able immediately dislodge the item (and now she is fine again). Thanks so much Anna!

This woman was great! I am a teacher of 17 yrs and have take many Cpr/​first Aid trainings. Usually they are so boring and hard to sit through, especially considering they are 4 plus hours. Anna’s class was actually fun and very thorough. I would highly recomend her to anyone interested in training for themselves or large groups!

We hired Anna to come over and give our family a training course in child and adult C.P.R. She was great. The class lasted about 3 hours and I came out feeling very comfortable with giving the Heimlich maneuver to anyone including a child. We went through C.P.R. on adults and children and practiced under different situations: choking, heart attack, electrocution, drowning etc. I learned so much. Anna is a great teacher, she’s patient (and you need to be with our group! lol), goes into detail without making you lose interest and she kept up the pace so we wouldn’t lose focus. Also, the demo dummies were clean and in good shape (a must when you are putting your mouth on them).
I have had participated in other in home C.P.R. classes and I can honestly say I have never learned as much as I did in this one. I highly recommend her for parents, childcare workers, teachers, elderly caregivers and anyone who would like to really be able to help and adult or child who is choking or unconscious and not breathing. Thanks Anna.
