Code 3 ACLS was one of the best certification classes I've taken. The instructor was so knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone understood the material before moving on. The hands-on practice and real-life scenarios really helped everything click. I will definitely be coming back here for my renewal and future certs if needed. Also, the office support was so kind and patient with me as I was having a hard time on my iPhone registering for the class. Just an overall great experience. read more

My name is Ronald J. Brooks, P.T. I have been in private practice for 45 years and have undergone many cycles of CPR training throughout my career. Code 3 is the most professional organization I have ever experienced. This year, I enrolled in their online course, which made it easy to learn the written portion of the certification. My hands-on training took place in Camarillo. I felt a bit nervous walking in because I am now 80 years old and a disabled combat-wounded veteran. However, I was greeted by a gentleman named Joe, who welcomed me with a big smile and was very kind. Turns out he was the owner. read more

I was looking to get certified in BLS which most health care providers require. Yelp pointed me in this direction I took a Basic Life Support (BLS) class here covering CPR, AED, and other essential skills for infants, children, and adults. The facility was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment for learning. Our instructor, Tamar, was exceptional. She was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure that every participant understood the material thoroughly. Her teaching style was clear, and she took the time to ensure everyone felt confident in their skills. It was a great learning experience overall, and I left feeling well-prepared and informed. I highly recommend this class to anyone needing BLS certification. read more

Had a great group CPR, First Aid and AED course with Tamar! She was very informative and friendly. Highly recommend Code 3 Life Support for Cert class! read more

I've been attending Code 3 Life Support for my BLS renewals since 2006 and I will continue to return. The owner, Joe, and his staff are kind, easy-going and knowledgeable professionals. They desire for their participants to walk away feeling thoroughly trained and ready to be a first responder if the unexpected ever arises; and you truly do walk away with an excellent understanding of Basic Life Support. The office environment is clean and well equipped. They have locations and serve the community up through the Santa Barbara area. read more

Had Joe as my instructor and he was a blast! The class was straight to the point, but he made it really enjoyable with his personality. I highly recommend coming here if you want a class that will teach you what you need but still have a good time read more

I took a CPR class here for work and the info was great. The teacher made things practical and had clear answers to all the questions. I would highly recommend. read more

They are absolutely the sweetest people in the world! The place is clean and modern looking. I took my son in to get a covid test and antibodies test. He was incredibly anxious for the finger poke and they were so patient and nice. They brought him treats, let him watch the iPad, practiced the poke on me, so many tricks. If it were up to me I would've just forced him to do it (mom of the year?) but it was important to them that he felt seen, understood and comfortable. I highly recommend them! read more

Amazing service, courteous and flexible. I completely recommend them for your certification needs.

We've had such an amazing experience with the entire staff here at Code 3. Pre Covid, and now during COVID times, they continue to facilitate services professionally, patiently and most importantly promptly. Thank you code 3 family!! read more

I took my ACLS renewal course at code 3 yesterday and I must say, this was the most fun and informative ACLS course I've ever experienced. Our instructor, Joe, was hilarious- the guy should be a stand up comedian- and at the same time he is super smart and able to explain complex concepts in simple ways that one can understand more easily. Joe is an excellent teacher. The entire course felt interactive and engaging. We had plenty of time to run mega codes and practice with hands on manikins. This is the one course where I didn't find my brain trailing off the whole time. HIGHLY recommend read more

Awesome class... Joe is hilarious which helps with anxiety of taking an ACLS class! I recommend this place to anyone who what's to learn or reinforce their life saving skills!! read more

ACLS and BLS renewal is NOT fun. UNLESS you do it with these guys. Joe is great. He recognizes your skill level and works with you accordingly. Let's face it, some of us need to know ACLS through and through, have worked many codes, and have the algorithms memorized. Others may work in the (Derm) Office with Michael Scott and the only time they see CPR is the episode when Dwight performs an organ harvest on the rescue mannequin: "No Rose, she's not breathing, and they have no arms and legs." Either way, Code 3 Life Support is the way to go. You will learn something new and the process is painless. Jacob and the office staff are super helpful and no one makes you sing "Staying Alive" while performing compressions over 100 times per minute. A+ worth the effort to renew or certify with Code3. - Michael Scott read more

Code 3 life support is easily the best location for any cpr certification services, COVID testing, and materials. The staff Raffi and Tamar are absolutely phenomenal. The management here is easily the best. Joe and Arpi are one of a kind. They treat all customers with such respect and integrity. These behaviors trickle down to the employees. I will be referring all tests takers here. read more

Came here yesterday to renew my ACLS. The instructor was Joe, who was very friendly and kept the class from getting too boring. I've taken ALCS before, but at a different place... and it was stressful! I was stressing out about having to do my renew based on previous experience. I was also stressed out because I took ALCS right before they changed stuff and people were telling me that its harder and more confusing! However, this place was low stress!! Joe taught the info well and made it very clear and easy to understand. I liked the way the class was conducted and it was very nice that they had water, coffee, granola bars and some candy out for the class. These classes are long... and you do get hungry!! I helped myself to a granola bar and some water. It was good enough to hold me over till the end of class! I will definitely be coming here again to do my renewals!! I will also recommend this place to my friends and co-workers! It seemed like I was the only new person in the class as everyone else or most everyone else were repeat students! I see why they keep coming back! I will too! I see that they have a pet CPR class coming out soon. I'm very interested in taking that. I have 3 little ones at home to take care of! read more

I did my ALCS initial and BLS renewal combination class here with Joseph. At first, I did not know what to expect and I was so nervous about the ACLS class. However, Joe made the class extremely simple to understand. He also incorporated okes and stories into his teaching which made the overall experience fun and memorable. I highly recommend coming here to get your ACLS and BLS! read more

Code-3 has always been a pleasure to train with. Joseph and his staff are not only professional, but are friendly and welcoming. The company that I work for have been doing business with Code-3 for many years, and will for many more to come. Thank you, Code-3 for a amazing experience! read more

The instructor today (Nora, or Nori?) was outstanding and very knowledgeable. Many in the class asked very good questions which all could benefit, and if she didn't know the answer she honestly said so. She removed any fear or apprehensions I may have had about administering CPR or first aid. She also gave us all a meaningful appreciation for the song "Staying Alive" I'll never forget. I've taken this training 3 times and I've learned something new all the time. It was lively and instructional. I enjoyed it very much, time flew by. I would not have mind it if was longer Thank you so much! This was a Sunday well spent! read more

Enjoyed the class, instructor Argin was very knowledgeable, and kept the class moving and challenging. Nice clean facilities, would definitely recommend Code 3! read more

Such an awesome course, highly recommended for all who wish to do CPR/AED/First Aid training. I did the online course which was very easy to follow and made my appointment to do the in-person training and complete the course. Raffi helped me check in and Nora was my course instructor. She was very personable and such a great teacher, even teaching me tips and tricks to remember the steps that weren't in the online course. I was in and out in 30 minutes. I'll definitely be coming back here to renew my certificate when the time comes. Thank you Code 3 Life!!! read more

I came to Code 3 to get my BLS certification renewed. I loved the class and the teaching style - my instructor Adam was very keen on teaching the class in a very hands on and interactive way. I enjoyed it way more than a strict video based teaching method. I learned a lot of new information this way, and will definitely be coming back. Thank you Code 3 for making my experience very fun! read more

FRED is an incredible instructor, 2 thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I took my first ever Pediatric CPR/First Aid class this morning at Code 3 Life Support, and I am sooo glad I did! Being a nanny is fun, but when kids put stuff in their mouths I always get a bit nervous! But after today, I am now confident that I can save a life, if need be! I found Code 3 on Yelp (and of course, I have to read all of the reviews!). Their great reviews along with the 10% off Yelp discount made it an easy decision! Parking was easy, the front staff was really friendly, and Fred was cool! Fred kept us engaged and answered our questions thoroughly. It was overall a great experience! After the class ended, they emailed me my certification card, which I printed out for my wallet at home. I also purchased a CPR mouth/face shield keychain for $3 before I left. I am so glad they had those! Now I will always be ready for mouth to mouth resuscitation in case of an emergency! I choose Fred and the Code 3 staff for all of my future certification needs! Thanks guys! read more

My son went for a quick covid test. They were quick and professional in every way. Friendly too!

I took the CPR class with members of our cultural center yesterday and the instructor was named Joe. He is very good in that he keeps your attention with jokes and real life situations. This is my second time taking the class at this location, first time was a few years ago. If you plan to take a CPR class, I would suggest this place. They also do on-site classes. read more

Joe is an amazing teacher!He shared his own life stories that he linked up w/ the ACLS concepts; and so, it was easier to learn them. Most importantly, I felt his genuine passion! I highly recommend for all of you to take his classes...may it simply be a BLS/CPR class so that u can all bravely assist a helpless, sick stranger who may need it c",) read more

I renewed my ACLS this year with them. Super convenient because I was able to complete the majority of the program online so I worked on this between patients at work. I could push pause and come back to it later. I think doing this program online is amazing for anybody who has a busy schedule and needs convenience. Once I finished the online portion, I then went into their Allen location and took the hands on exam. Everyone is super friendly there. Joe makes you feel welcomed and he administered the 15-20 minute megacode test. I printed out the ACLS card at home and getting back to my daily routine. This is for you if you want easy and fast. read more
