    I took this free Friends and Family CPR class last fall and the Beebe instructors were great! Last Sunday I took a paid class through the American Heart Association to keep my 2yr CPR certification current (required for my Spin Certification) and the material covered in both classes (CPR and choking remediation for adults, children and infants) was substantially identical.
