The group was meeting with a different instructor initially, however that instructor never showed up. some people drove from out of town to meet for the class.

Particularly during this period of the dreaded COVID pandemic, one would think that every blood…read moredonation drop counts. Unfortunately, I have been repeatedly disappointed about the way that the American Red Cross (ARC) has administered my past donation appointments within Santa Cruz County. On one occasion -- when I was admittedly running late (but willing to remain until I could be fit-in) -- I was abruptly & very publicly turned away. On another occasion -- when I arrived EARLY for my appointment -- I was informed that as the phlebotomists were running behind and as they had already achieved the quantity of donations targeted, I could reschedule my donation for another day. I respectfully declined and stayed to donate. These rather jarring experiences have left me with the distinct impression that the ARC Donation Experience foremost turns on the whims of their mobile team's willingness to receive than it does on maximizing every planned donation opportunity & donor willingness to give -- certainly not a formula for earning donor confidence or loyalty. Therefore, even though I reside in Santa Cruz County, I'm frequently "over the hill" and will very much look forward to donation opportunities at stanfordbloodcenter.org. Stanford's location in Campbell is close enough, and it's encouraging to see that this org has earned significantly stronger Yelp ratings. Indeed, the availability of choice is always a GOOD thing!

I volunteered with ARC in Santa Cruz starting in 2010. I've been to a few office now, and I can say…read morethat the staff and hospitality at the Santa Cruz chapter is really top notch. Lorraine and Sondra trained me and have gotten a lifelong volunteer out of me. They offer training and service opportunities, as well as really good coffee.

Gabby made the class go by quickly. She's upbeat, has a sense of humor and explains concepts…read moreclearly and concisely. We had about 12 people in our class, most of them taking the class as a requirement for their job (like me, too). We powered through all of the modules without breaks (we all agreed on this, of course) and were done an hour earlier! It will take you half a day to complete the course. You will do exercises (wrapping a bandage, CPR, AED operation and more tasks) but there is no written test for certification, just participation. My colleague and I walked out feeling more confident and equipped to handle situations that could arise at work (we deal with the public when we are open, so it is a requirement on our employer to take the class). I will sign up again when I have to re-certify in two years with this company.

The two hour session just flew by. One minute the session was starting, the next thing I realized she was wrapping it up. Karen has an amazing and infectious energy that is transmitted to everyone in the class. The class is very well organized and even fun. Karen has decades of service with the Santa Clara Fire Department. So she is very experienced, dedicated, passionate, professional and despite it being a Saturday morning, really seemed to be enjoying herself! I can't imagine a better learning environment for this material. In summary, I sincerely recommend HeartReady and Karen.

I've been needing to renew my BLS/CPR certification for awhile now…read more My cousin recommended me a place through a friend she just met, Lori so I decided to check this place out. Place is kind of hidden, limited parking or you can also park on the street. This place is very clean, and cute haha I had the privilege to meet Lori very briefly, the owner, and she was really sweet. I took a class with my cousin. I think this place is new because I've never heard of it before and there's not many reviews on Yelp. Our instructor is Njoki. She was very friendly, welcoming and entertaining! I love her. She made you feel comfortable. The course was supposed to last 3 hours but it goes by really fast and you won't use up all the time. It was more like 2 hours for us since it was a smaller class plus the information from the videos can be redundant. My cousin and I were the only students for that class which I loved! I learn better in smaller groups. I don't like crowded classes. I know the one on Meridian always has bigger classes. You watch videos and then you do the hands-on party right after or along with the video. Njoki repeated the main things you needed to know on the test you took at the end so it stuck with me. I was worried about that part because it can be a lot of information to take in especially if it's been awhile, your first time, and that they change every 5 years or so. Be ready for a workout! I was out of breath and my arms and fingers were hurting haha My arms were sore for the next 3 days. We went through adult CPR, infant CPR, choking, AED Use and took a test at the end. Don't worry about failing. There's 25 questions, and they're pretty straightforward. The videos repeat and bold the important parts on the screen. Njoki also tests us along the way and repeats the correct answers and also reviews with questions on the test. Place was very clean. It was very cold that day and the place was heated so I was comfortable. The class was very fun and informational. Njoki was a great instructor. Prepare for laughs, an intense workout, and prepare to be extremely out of breath from all the chest compressions and counting out loud. I definitely recommend this place to anyone. The fee was $75! It is cheaper than other locations in San Jose. Will becoming back here for my renewal haha !
