    I highly recommend Beyond the Sirens! Tyler is absolutely phenomenal and breaks things down so they are so simple to understand! I’ve tried for days before consulting with him trying to memorize things from a difficult chapter in the textbook, then I worked with Tyler and within minutes, a hard chapter was made simple and felt confident in it and understood it and how things worked! Not only is BTS helpful but they also know what it’s like to prepare for the NREMT, as they have been there in the same shoes! But also have worked in the field with tons of experience. Please do yourself a favor, contact them today and get your appointment set up! Well worth every penny! I cannot thank BTS and Tyler enough! They have changed my life and I’m forever grateful! Thank you BTS!

    I've had such a pleasant experience with 'Beyond the Sirens' the team was very accommodating and helpful with what I needed and with their help I was able to pass my EMT test!

    —Maya

    Tyler is a phenomenal tutor! He helped me study for both the NREMT test and my local jurisdiction's system entry test, and he could not have been more helpful and accommodating both times. He charges fairly, listens to your needs and meets them, and really knows his stuff when it comes to all areas of emergency medicine.
    Highly recommend Beyond the Sirens to anyone studying for NREMT or other similar exams!

    —Dan

    Highly recommend!! I found beyond the sirens when I was looking for tutoring opportunities for the NREMT-P and I am so glad that i did. Tyler is great and helped me a lot by turning hard topics into easy ones. He works around your schedule and his tutoring sessions are recorded and will send you the link after the tutoring session so you can rewatch it later when reviewing that topic. If you want to pass your next attempt for the NREMT, I would recommend using their tutoring services and you will be so happy with the results.

    We did an awesome training this morning with our preschool staff and loved how hands on it was! Thank you for being so engaging and really making sure everyone understood each step clearly. We will definitely be scheduling again!!

    —Sandy E.

  • ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    Fantastic job doing a presentation with my children (and others in the class)! She answered everything in a way that they could understand and was very patient with answering questions everyone had in the room. You could tell she truly enjoys what she does. She was very professional and I would absolutely recommend her to any family or individual. Very impressed!

    —Faith A.

    Our CPR class was amazing and so was the instructor Tyler! He made the class fun, interesting and easy with it being both, hands on and also visual.

    I took the Online Phlebotomy Technician course and had Lily as my instructor! I simply cannot say enough great things about this course and Lily! Lily's knowledge, experience, patience, detailed feedback on any questions I had, her encouragement and the time she spent with me on the hands-on skills portion of this course, are just a few of the many things that made this an exceptional experience! The curriculum was in-depth & I really appreciated the fact that I could go at my own pace. The reading material, workbook assignments, vocab review, chapter reviews, videos, and practice exams all fully prepared me to sit for the national exam and I passed on the first attempt!!! Lily, thank you so much for your support throughout this entire course! I attribute my success with this course & the national exam to how well you prepared me! You're the best!!

    —Jennifer R.

    My daughter just finished the “babysitting course” with Lily, and she was so proud of herself for all that she learned that day! My daughter was most excited to learn CPR and to have her safety kit which Lily so kindly provided. Great experience!

    —Jacky S.

  • ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    She worked very well with my young child learning CPR. We were in a group class and she had to watch everyone but took a few minutes to work directly with her to get her technique down because she is so much smaller. She was very thorough with our entire class and used examples of experience to demonstrate the how and why of providing effective first aid to help others.

    —Amy L.

  • ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    This was by far the most efficient course I ever could have imagined. I completed the phlebotomy training program within only a month with the help of my amazing instructor Lily. She was extremely attentive despite all of her commitments and responsibilities, making sure there was no stone left unturned & no question unanswered.


    The phlebotomy study material was also super useful, and the self-paced nature of the course made it possible for me to still have a life outside of my training. It also allowed me to re-check and go over any information I needed to refresh on! This experience was worth so much more than what I paid for it, and if I choose to explore more opportunities in the medical field, there’s no better option than this.


    Thank you so much Lily for your support and guidance! You have become an idol of mine and I cant wait to use this opportunity to achieve as much as you have.

    —Emma K.

    Lily is an awesome instructor who made the CPR class very fun and engaging. I’m glad I chose this company to do the training through. Very thorough demonstrations as well. Thanks so much!

    My 12 yr old loved this class! She was ready to babysit and wanted to be sure she had all the knowledge she needed. This class was extremely beneficial to her and taught her so much. She is officially certified and ready to babysit! Thank you for giving her all the tools in her tool belt to keep those she sits for safe!

    —Elizabeth S.

  • ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    Tyler was great! I needed to get certified to be able to coach and he came to my Middle School to do the CPR and AED lifesaving training and I feel much more confident about my ability to deal with an emergency effectively than before. Thank you, Beyond The Sirens. Also, their communication was great start to finish!

    —Jaynee H.

  • ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    Great for BLS and ACLS! They were very accommodating by coming to my house in NC on a short time notice. Also very thorough training! 100% recommend!

    —Sophie B.

    Just went through my CPR training today with Beyond the Sirens in Mebane, NC. It was great! Very informative and easy to understand! The instructors were very knowledgeable and you could tell they are passionate about what they do. Would highly recommend!

    I absolutely loved this course, it taught me a lot about babysitting, and I already feel like I would be a lot more comfortable babysitting infants and toddlers.
