“Took a PALS class with AERO! This was without a doubt the best PALS class I have ever had. I learned so much and refreshed what I thought I knew. Looking forward to taking many more classes with them. Thanks you!”
“Great experience from start to finish. Everything was so well organized & ran smoothly. Can’t wait to attend more training like this. Thank you to everyone who helped put this on!”

“An all around great experience. I was able to perform skills that I would never have the opportunity to practice until it is needed in the setting of a true emergency. Thank you to each & every person who put this class together!”
