A…read morefriend of mine recommended him when I was looking to renew my BLS and I've been coming back every 2 years. I think my most recent BLS course with him was my 3rd consecutive renewal session. He does a great job at explaining all of the important information we learned on the learning modules during the in-person skills training. He gives live feedback on your performance, and offer suggestions on how to improve/modify your technique. It's also a same day certification, which means the certificate is available within 5-15 minutes after the class. Highly recommend if you're looking into taking a BLS/First Aid courses!

Though not required for my role, my work pays for CPR classes for healthcare professionals. For…read moreme, it is important to stay up to date on my skills, as well as the updates for performing CPR successfully. A few days ago, I completed my second CPR certification through iMaster CPR, as my first was just over two years ago. iMaster CPR is in a small suite in an office complex in Mission Valley. It is easy to find and has plenty of parking. The classroom itself is not the most comfortable, as it is very small, and a bit on the warm, stuffy side. I had also wished that I had brought a bottle of water with me, as there was none available. George has been the instructor both times. He is a kind and funny person who walks around gently correcting our practice and sets us up for success on the written exam. At the end of class we downloaded a certification from the American Heart Association after we pass the short exam. iMaster CPR does a good job of giving us the required skills for certification in approximately two hours. I will say, for someone such as myself, who doesn't "need" the certification, but wants to carefully learn the skills, I would prefer a longer course with even more hands- on experience. All in all, I am grateful that I was able to take this course to stay up to date with my basic CPR skills. The instructor is good it is conveniently located.

At one point, I tried to ask her a question about whether the breathing part actually delivers enough oxygen, but her answer was for a different question. I felt like she didn't take the time to listen to what I was asking. The CPR training was reasonable, but the First-Aid part was barely addressed. I recently completed a NOLS/WMS Wilderness First-Aid course through REI, and I felt like I learned so much there. And while being in the wilderness may be a significant difference in circumstances, the injuries are not. Blisters, heat-exhaustion, impalements, etc. can all happen anywhere, especially with children. But in the end they were quick to respond to my email, and I got my certification in less than 2 hours, on a holiday weekend no less, so I guess I should be happy with that. I'm just not someone who's looking for an 'easy A'. It's kind of sad, because many of the students that come here are working for schools or the YMCA, and they're supposedly the ones trained to handle your children in emergency situations.

I have used this company before for standard BLS recerts in the year past…read more I recently attending an ACLS provider class that I really enjoyed. As a non nursing medical professional I am not required to have an ACLS cert, but I felt passionately that myself and others that work in hospitals should be aware of how Advanced Life Support works and what general concepts are covered beyond BLS. I will make it a routine to repeat the ACLS class in the years to come because they did such a great job at STAR to put students in simulations that you will actually encounter in healthcare. A big thank you to Patrick for being so knowledgeable, engaging, and kind in the class. Also thank you to Amber for being so communicative with scheduling and any questions I had during enrollment. This team truly just want health care workers- and beyond- to have the knowledge on how to save peoples lives. Thanks again! John

Not only was the course $100, but I did not receive my certification the same day. I have taken CPR courses over the last 10 years and I have always received the physical card or Ecard same day. I have tried to call their main line for days and nobody answers. Finally got a response to my email that I SHOULD get it by the end of the day. When I spoke with the American Heart Association, they weren't much help either. I was told that ACLS has 20 calendar days to provide the information to them so they can mail out the cards. I was not informed of this information at all. Please avoid this company at all costs. They do not care whatsoever after they receive payment.

I rescheduled with another local company and requested a refund. Kaitlyn Todd instructed me I would receive a refund within 6-10 business days. I wait 10 business days and never received my refund. I once again reached out to Kaitlyn Todd who said she would issue me a refund ASAP and was unsure why the initial refund did not go through. It's been a week since I last spoke with Kaitlyn Todd and have not received my refund. I have left a voicemail for her and called multiple times on different days. At this point, I feel as if I have been ghosted and will resort to disputing the charge with my credit card company. UPDATE: Kaitlyn has replied to my email and has instructed me to move forward with disputing the charge to my credit card due to being unable to refund my money at this time because of a backlog of refund requests. Again, I advise everyone to steer clear of this business.
