Directions were clear and concise. Good price and free parking. Chad is AMAZING. Would come back to him to renew.

TLDR: very informative course! The class started promptly at the time scheduled (I did same day registration and had no problems!). Chad made the course entertaining, quick to the point, and repeated information to make sure we understood all that he said. I came to renew my BLS; Chad did an excellent job demonstrating and ensuring that we knew how to be prepared in such scenarios. If you pay in person, there is a $5 discount! For parking, I parked on the side with Triple A; just take the elevators downstairs to see the B floor. Excellent experience - thank you so much! read more

Chad is the BEST instructor out there! Truly enjoyed the class and the knowledge gained. He explains really well and has a great personality.

Ever since I've joined the healthcare industry, Ive always seen Chad for my BLS card/renewal. Thats 8+ years. He's always been a fun instructor and entertains his students while he's teaching us with his jokes. It's obvious that he loves teaching others and enjoys what he does. I am going to continue to renew my BLS with the AED 40 CPR course for as long as I can! read more

Amazingly informative and Chad was very thorough at explaining everything from beginning to end! Highly recommend!

Had the CPR/BLS class today. Have done this every 2 years with Chad. Very systematic, making sure we understand, comprehend, each phase. Keeps it interesting with humor and real life experiences. Highly recommend 40 CPR. Doc (semi retired DDS) read more

I just completed my 2nd re-certification here. All of the information you need about the classes is on the website. It's very easy to register for class. Chad provided great communication between when I registered and actually took the class. He sent an email confirmation/receipt once I registered and also sent email and text reminders closer to the date of the course. The email contains excellent directions/map on how to get there, where to park, and how to find the classroom once you get on site. (I also had a very easy time when I had to reschedule my date a couple of times.) There are enough dummies for everyone to do their hands-on practice at the same time. He was very thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and made sure everyone's questions were answered. He has a friendly demeanor while stressing the importance of the course material. I left the course feeling well prepared to do CPR and use an AED when I left the room. I definitely plan on returning when my certification expires again in 2 years. read more

Chad is such a great teacher! He explains BLS (CPR/AED) regulations and procedures so well! Easy to understand and you will definitely pass your exam at the end! Highly recommend his class! Tip: if you pay with cash he will give you a discount! $55 online and $50 cash! read more

I've been coming here for years. As a personal trainer we are required to do in person CPR training every two years and this is the place I prefer to come to and I've recommended it to others! read more

Been coming here for 6 plus years. The building is a little tricky to find as you have to park and walk downstairs into the basement floor. The instructor makes the class efficient and easy to follow. I will never go to another place for BLS. read more

Excellent class. Instructor well prepared and knowledgable. I would definitely recommend.

Chad is a great instructor! One of the best BLS lessons I had. I am an RN and was looking to renew my BLS. I found this place on yelp and booked it online. The process of registering was quick and simple. The prices are not too bad either! It is 50 dollars credit/debit online. You can save 5 dollars by paying Chad in cash. The class flew by fast, and I got my BLS card sent to my email after class. I also liked how Chad texted everyone the day before the class reminding everyone what time the class started and where to find the class. I will definitely come back here! read more

Have taken multiple CPR / BLS classes and this by far has been the best one! Thank you Chad for a great class! Would recommend to friends or colleagues. read more

What is your super hero power? How about the ability to save a life? Come here are learn CPR and first aid. The instructor Chad is great and you get lots of good practice. CPR fun? Well with Chad as your teacher, it is. He is enthusiastic, funny and a delight. Chad is a former EMT, firefighter and military vet. He has vast knowledge and practical experience. He shares real life examples and cautionary tales. He really has the depth of experience to know what is important and essential. Check the website first for the location. It is just a little tricky finding the classroom. It is downstairs on the west side of the building. There is plenty of free parking and good restaurant options near by. The building is on the north west corner of Hawthorne Blvd. and Lomita Blvd. Registration is easy. You get a discount if you pay in cash. His classes are good for both people in the medical profession as well as everyone else. Good solid basic training but with humor. Can't beat that combination. With both video and a live teacher, you get the reinforcement and confidence you need. The class covers one person and two person CPR. It also covers the use of the AED. There are two parts of the training, CPR and first aid. First Aid follows the CPR class. You can take one or the other, or opt to take them both. Great, up to date information in both classes. He sends the CPR card by email, for you to print out. Quick and easy. What are you going to do when someone isn't breathing or is choking? If you take this class, you will what to do. There is instruction for how to help adults, children and babies. Emergencies don't send out warning texts, they just happen. Be prepared. It gives me great peace of mind, knowing what to do in a crisis. Get your peace of mind here. It's fun, cheap and painless. Get your super hero powers here and possibly save a life. Be a hero!! read more

Was looking for an alternative place to Re-Do my CPR and First Aid/Pediatrics and this place was great and close to my home. Very informative, straight to the point and really hands on with the class on what you need as many were there for different certifications. I will definitely be back when I need to renew my card. Prolly one of the best classes I've ever been to in the last 15 years I've taken the class. Great instructor, good sense of humor, and pretty chill and overall great! Easy to book online and pretty straight forward. read more

Mr. Chad is the best teacher!! I could practice a lot during the class. Also, he often checked if we were following well and everything was clear. His explanation was flawless. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this guy for a BLS class. It's actually the best & most informative BLS class I ever took in my life. Im definitely going here again in 2 years. read more

Pros: 1)Same day class enrollment, 2)Night classes (less busy compared to AM classes), 3)$5 off if you pay in cash, 4) lots of equipment available, 5)extremely smart staff, funny and approachable, 6)free parking 7) most important staff/class is straight to the point of CPR, no sharing personal stories, no asking us dumb questions, no sharing where we work at, etc. Definitely recommend Chad or Lewis Cons: nothing honestly, it was a nice experience. read more

Took this course with Chad to obtain my CPR/First Aid certification. He's very easygoing, personable, and funny. The course is straight to the point while being very informative & detail. I would recommend anybody looking to gain their certifications to definitely come here! Your cards are sent to your email at the end of the class. Thanks Chad! 10/10. read more

I just took a class today (3/10/17) to get certified in First Aid, CPR and AED, and was it so worth it! Chad, the instructor and owner of AED $40 CPR, made the class fun, interesting and actually very enjoyable (considering a class like this could be as dull as spending time in traffic school)?! The time went by so fast, and the way Chad teaches, he made it extremely easy to learn and retain the information. I didn't attend for BLS, but those that did and took the exam, seemed very pleased with their test taking skills thanks to Chad...he made sure that everyone follows along in class and understands the concepts to make their exam taking successful. So if you're considering taking a class, make the trek (I drove in from quite a far distance-- and would do it again in a "heart beat"!) and you too will also agree that it was so worth it!!! BTW... if you bring cash, you get a discount! Whoo hoo!!! : ) read more

AED 40 CPR - Yippie!!! - CPR Classes Near Me - Torrance, California

This has been by far the best CPR, first aid and AED course that I've ever attended. Chad is funny but cuts to the point and he's really efficient in facilitating the course. There are different classes so make sure you pick the appropriate one; you will have to do a test for the certification but it's easy because you see it in the video and during his additional input while practicing. I liked it so much that my family will be taking his classes soon! My course was $60 and that was for the BLS CPR/AED & first aid certifications. Sign up with Chad!!! read more

I've been to 40 CPR twice now and I will continue to go back to renew every 2 years Chad is a great instructor and an ex firefighter so he has plenty of experience, the class was a nice size there was plenty of space to practice and plenty of time to ask questions if necessary I definitely recommend this class read more

I am happy to come here again and again for my BLS recertification! They accept card online ($45) or cash in person ($40). They also have a ton of class dates and times to choose from so it is really simple to get to a class short notice. It's so easy to find the location. There is information on their website, they email you the day before, and they text message you the day before with all of the necessary information. When you enter the building, there's a ton of signs pointing you in the right direction. Honestly you have no excuse as the customer for not being able to find the place. Justin was a wonderful instructor and explained everything very well. There was plenty of time to practice and he answered any questions. I appreciate that there's small tables to practice on because being directly on the floor would be awful. You get your card the moment you pass the written test. You are definitely over prepared for the test when it comes so there's no need to worry if you have test anxiety. I'm happy to come back again in another two years! read more

AED 40 CPR - You can see this from the parking location (not viewable from Hawthorne) - CPR Classes Near Me - Torrance, California

Chad is great! I have received my CPR and First Aid certification from him several times now and each time, I have had a positive experience. First off, you can't beat the prices! Paying cash also gets you a $5 discount. Secondly, there are a variety of class offerings and class times to choose from. You can opt for a medical profession class or a non medical profession class (i.e., teachers). There are weekday classes, both morning and afternoon, as well as weekend classes, both morning and afternoon, to choose from. Chad is efficient in covering all the necessary material in a timely manner, and makes the class engaging and fun. The facility and equipment are very clean as well. At the end of the class, you will receive a print out of your certifications which is a plus! read more

I needed to get certified for Infant CPR and was glad to have found Chad. He gets down to the point and make sure that the class participants understand and can perform the life-saving maneuvers. Sign up is super easy online, and you get a discount for paying cash. The class time says 10am-3pm, but we got a 30 minute break around noon and was able to finish everything by 1:30pm. If you need CPR certification, this is the place to go! read more

I was looking for a CPR/first aid course that had good reviews, so I decided to give this place a try! I highly recommend! It was $90 together for my CPR and first aid certification. I had Dakota as my instructor. He was very chill and nice. If you had any questions, he was very understanding to answer them! I would definitely come back here to renew my certification! read more

Recently renewed my CPR certification. Chad is a great instructor. Given our current situation, he modified his class to keep everyone safe which is something I appreciated. He responds fast to questions via email. read more

This is my first CPR class through AED 40 CPR. I took a previous class in SF 2 years ago. With new federal regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chad was succinct but brought up all the important points we needed to know for the written test at the end (Provider BLS only). He's personable and funny which makes the class much more enjoyable! I could tell he's a pro at what he does considering he's been teaching CPR for 20 years and has been a paramedic for 12-13 years. The classes here are way more affordable than the others I've seen in the area. Paying by credit card online is $50 or $45 for cash when you arrive at the class. Thank you, Chad! Looking forward to coming back in 2 years! read more

This is my 3rd time re certifying with Chad/staff. It was amazing as usual. Chad is very enthusiastic and makes the course informative and fun. They offer weekend classes as well. I would definitely recommend taking them for CPR/ AED and First Aid as well. read more

This was the easiest and cheapest CPR and AED class for healthcare providers. I just left the class and it's simple, he gets you involved and makes sure you understand the material. The instructor is Chad and I would 100% recommend this class for anyone. You can't beat $40 in cash or $43 if you pay with a credit card online. I usually don't give ratings on yelp but this was worth it!!! You get your CPR card on the spot and gives you a review before taking the test. There's no way you'll fail... You WILL PASS this course!!! read more

Awesome instructor!! Chad was upbeat, friendly and professional. I was surprised to see the class was small considering the $40 price. I felt like I was taking a private one on one! What I appreciated most was Chad's way of teaching. He wasn't going through the motions. He really knows what he's teaching. If he saw a blank look or a question mark on my face, he was quick to help. Thanks Chad!! read more

I was able to take a class within 2 days of registering online. This place is inside the South Bay rehabilitation plaza. Parking is in the rear. You walk in and watch a training video. Chad will not stop in between the hands on portion of the DVD. But do not worry, he will do hands on training after he fast forwards all the parts he wants you to watch. Sort of like an intro, then he lectures and makes sure you get down the techniques with your with your dummies (sorry if that's politically incorrect). Chad is very knowledgeable and makes learning CPR simple and fun. He's animated, has a great speaking voice, loud and cracks jokes. I love his teaching style he is straight to the point and he repeats the important facts multiple times so it's embedded in your brain. He goes around and makes sure each person has the correct hand placements and sequencing. At the end, there is a test but he goes over the material. I've been re-certificated for BLS (health care provider) several times but this is the best class I've ever taken and I also learned some new things! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this course. It's fast and easy to sign up, the course is very effective, and we even got out 30 mins early!! I'll be back in 2 years for my renewal :) read more

I have been a Nurse for 11 years and been in the Healthcare Field for 22. Out of all the many CPR instructors I've met, Chad Chavers is THE BEST instructor ever! Very smart, funny, and makes the class fun with humor and active participation. Actual physical, group participation makes the information stick to your mind better as opposed to just sitting down all day in classroom listening to the teacher. Because if you don't use it, you lose it. This class indeed is a good reminder to help retain all important facts about First aid and CPR! Thanks again Chad! Will keep renewing my BLS with you in the future! ~Gina Flores read more

Toyally awesome teacher! Chad's Class was fun and not boring at all!! It was fun , instructor was funny and maintained professionalism. I learned a lot in those 3 hours. Coming back when its time to renew and get my first-aid. Definitely recommend to everyone I know who needs CPR . read more
