Absolutely wonderful class

I’ve been taking these classes for years and this was so informative and helpful way more then the others I have taken.

Take this class and save a life. Scott was our instructor and he was phenomenal. He gave us the tools, guided practice, and resulting confidence that we’ll not only be able to help in an emergency situation, but administer CPR effectively to an adult, child or infant, and respond to a choking incident.

The best CPR class I’ve taken to date, and I have taken MANY.

Scott is a skilled instructor who teaches from experience and with heart. The video teaching materials are finally (more) gender and racially inclusive.

Thank you Jamie, great having you in class
The instructor was really great
August 30, 2026
I was comfortable within the class and to ask questions if I didn’t understand. He was informative, funny, and a really good teacher. Unlike other CPR/First Aid classes, the time didn’t drag on but it went quickly and the information was given in a way that I believe my retention on the subject will be much better.

Stop the bleed
May 17, 2026
Scott was an amazing instructor, very informative and hands on. I feel comfortable now with placing using and providing tourniquets !!! 10 / 10 I really like how at the end of the class they provided supplies in which we could purchase. As I did not know a tourniquet called SWAT that I was able to buy. Thank you again.

Scott’s instruction for the Stop the Bleed class I took was clear and concise, with lots of helpful examples and hands-on practice. I especially appreciated the practical approach and emphasis on the core, essential concepts (“pressure!”). I’ll be back for more classes!

Outstanding Instruction and Top-Tier Curriculum
March 20, 2026
Scott was an outstanding instructor—extremely knowledgeable and highly effective at making sure we truly understood the material, not just memorized it.
The online component was equally impressive, with high-quality videos and lessons from the University of Utah School of Medicine’s Wilderness Medicine Division. It was engaging, well-structured, and clearly built on top-tier expertise.

Stop the Bleed - great class
January 19, 2026
Learned a lot from this class. I had no previous formal First Aid or CPR classes and was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to understand the terms or techniques being used but Scott was very conversational, practical and jnformative. I would highly recommend this class for anyone of any skill level.

Great instructor
January 18, 2026
Wasn’t expecting as in depth of a class, but the instructor Scott Mize was great. In addition to covering the important material, he answered all questions very well, and helped show better techniques for applications of equipment (whether supplementary or intended directly) to combat bleeding and stabilize the wounded in the field. Also showed and explained some subtle things one can do that can act as a force ratio multiplier for pressure against bleeding, that simultaneously relieves the amount of pressure you personally have to exert.

Great instruction and skill development

Scott is a fantastic instructor brining years of experience to this course. I appreciated the organization of the content and delivery speed. Not to fast or to slow, and super engaging. The real world scenarios combined with the hands on practice opportunities helped to enhanced the training, deepening the learning experience. Because of this course, I feel significantly more confident in my ability to help in a highly emergent situation. Thanks Scott!

Acquiring the knowledge
November 10, 2025
As a responsible gun owner, I realized when I took this class if there was some fundamentals that I was missing and didn’t understand when I’m at the range, and I go out shooting, or I couldn’t figure out like, sometimes why I would jam. Or just the safety of just carrying the gun itself. This class has given me a high reassurance of knowing how to be safe with the firearm and protecting my family. The instructor was very intentional and knowledgeable and is a great asset to helping you be safe.

Informative class, good instructor
May 5, 2025
Just what I was expecting, good information, good instructor. The location and time could have been better. The Sportsman’s Warehouse where the class was held wasn’t open until 10am, the same time the class was to start. I would have preferred to NOT have the class run through lunch time…; Overall I’m glad I took the course.

Engaging and extremely qualified

I expected informative and competent but Scott was much more than that. His humor and authenticity kept the class engaging and gave the content relevance to everyday life. He used his years of experience to provide examples and guidance for possible situations that we will encounter; allowing us to learn from his choices before we have to make them ourselves. I will definitely recommend him to friends that are interested in a CHL.

CHL and Stop the bleed
October 20, 2024
Scott is very thorough and knowledgeable. From our first class with the CHL I learned more in that class than I did the first time I got my CHL. I only went to get my Utah certification since I already had my Oregon one but left with more information than I thought I would. Due to this we decided to take his other class stop the bleed which we would highly recommend. We are going to do more classes to follow, he is very easy to learn from and the classes go by fast. thank you for sharing life changing learning experiences.
