I would give less than one star if I could.I've never experienced such a demeaning, condescending, and cruel teacher. Lenny Nathan's method of teaching is asking trick questions and berating those who speak up - making them feel stupid and insecure. He targeted one of the people in our class repeatedly, raising his voice and consistently making her feel bad. He was hostile, unprofessional, and oppressing.In the days leading up to our class with him, he was almost unreachable on the phone and when he did answer he was incredibly rude and unhelpful - blaming my company for not understanding instructions he was poorly conveying to us.I highly urge you to go through another agency and instructor. Truly awful.

This was my third AHA course that I have attended, but the first at HealthSav and this was by far my worst experience. Lenny was a miserable miserable man. I understand saving a life is a vital skill, but this man does nothing to promote learning. He was degrading and incredibly unprofessional. He answered a phone call for several minutes of our session wasting my time and money. I couldn't tolerate spending another second with this man. If I could give this location 0 stars I would. Find ANY other location to get certified and save yourself the trauma of this man.

When people describe this man as abusive, it is correct. The day after my training, I have so much pain in my body after being forced to be sitting on my legs for one hour straight while he yelled at me constantly.. I spent the entire three hours holding back tears from his abuse. This entire experience was a nightmare and so not what I was expecting. I’ve taken BLS classes in the past and knew what to expect until I met this horrible person. I have dyslexia, and I am slow to be able to distinguish left and right and he belittled me every chance he could. I literally feel like he should go to jail for what he does. If you read reviews on his company, you will see that I am not alone.

Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to do BLS or ACLS certification or renewal.

Everything said in the negative reviews is spot on. He is abusive. After this class I will never attempt CPR and I never used to feel that way. He made me feel I was the stupidest person in the world.

Horrible place, instructor likes hearing his own voice and enjoys yelling at beginners, expects beginners to memorize everything the moment it is said and treats it as if we’ve had a week to study the material. I’ve come to the conclusion that he must hate his own life somewhat. Do not recommend, 0 stars.

Horribly Unprofessional. the other reviews describe Lenny just as he is rude and mean! What teacher yells at their students? This is verbal abuse and a previous comment also mentioned the smell of this run down facility which has disgusting air quality dirty floors that have wrenches hanging around obviously to fix all the leaks because there's definitely mold in this old place! I felt like I was in a horror movie! Run! Don't jog don't walk run away from this guy!

Unsafe! RUN the instructor is so mean! Lenny has to be the worst instructor ever! He argues and yells at you! He was running so late and was yelling at me because of that which is so unprofessional. I should have read the reviews on Lenny as they all describe him as extremely rude. Never did I think to read reviews on a cpr instructor, but now I will. As soon as I got near this building I felt unsafe it's located next to a beer distributor and auto body car lot. The building is run down in shambles I don't know how the health department even allows classes to be taught here there's definitely mold you can smell and see how old the small rooms are. My allergies and asthma are bad and the air quality in this place was horrible plus with an instructor who is yelling at you my chest felt so tight I couldn't breath in there. I'm so happy someone also reviewed him today just as bad as mine because he is horrible

Took this course as a local to Rockland and went in thinking it would extremely convenient. It was absolutely ANYTHING but that. I have personally never made a yelp review in my entire life but after this experience, here I am. Lenny is definitely qualified to teach CPR, however does not know how to teach at all. Extremely rude, condescending, and negative. As a nursing student myself in a rigorous program with many "tough" teachers, this man blew all of them out of the water. I have never felt so discouraged and stupid after walking out of a course. Even though I am now newly certified, I feel as if I know nothing. Constantly yelling "NO" at students instead of positive reencoruagement. He would practically argue with students when they were genuinely confused and just wanted a better understanding. He would yell at you to answer questions but then proceed to yell more when you got them wrong. He also went over time about 2 hours making this an 8 hour course instead of 6. On top of this, the AC was broken throughout the building so it was literally 90 degrees the whole time. All of the students and I were dripping sweat from the heat and the stress of Lenny's instruction. One student who had asthma even had to leave to get her inhaler because she was so flustered from his instruction methods. He only provided us with a 5 minute break around hour 4 and that was it. As someone who does not eat breakfast, the man provided no lunch break and I went without eating until 6pm at night. I can tell this man is extremely passionate about CPR and wants students to learn the correct way to do it. However, this man does not know how to speak to other human beings and does not know how to teach. Very happy I am BLS trained for school but left very upset and discouraged because of this man.

I went in recently to complete my AHA BLS certification with Lenny. Lenny is extremely passionate about the importance of being knowledgeable, willing to learn CPR and being able to save a life. He kept us engaged and his teaching style will certainly keep you on your toes. Between the videos, hands-on work, forcing us to think aloud and being appropriately corrected- the knowledge I received here is invaluable. Thank you.
