Seriously! Sent Nathan a message asking to get a private BLS recertification training going and he was so responsive and so great. He truly went above and beyond to make my experience educational and meaningful. One of the best CPR courses I've ever taken (and I've taken about 10!) I would absolutely recommend Nathan to all of my friends, family, and co-workers in the medical field. He truly goes out of his way to support each individual person. Grateful to have found Nathan and get up to date on my CPR skills. Thanks Nathan! read more

Today a group of friends and I, all of who are grandparents (or very soon to be), took a Private Infant & Child CPR and Choking Relief Workshop with Nathan. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Nathan was incredibly friendly and made all of us feel comfortable from the start. Nathan provided clear, thorough instruction in a way that was easy to follow. He was well organized, and his approachable manner made it easy to ask questions. We left feeling confident in our skills and would highly recommend CPR Advantage to anyone seeking CPR training. read more

Took this course when my son was around 6 months old. Really great hands on work. Nathan gives you real life scenarios to practice with and it really makes a difference. Fast forward to today.. my son started choking on a small piece of orange. I remained calm and immediately knew what to do. The orange popped out within a few seconds. I can't thank you enough Nathan- your course is so important. I 100 percent recommend it to all new parents! read more

We took an Infant CPR class with Nathan at Tourmaline Birth Center. He was super engaging and his personality is perfect for teaching a class like this. I am a nurse and have taken many CPR classes and know how some can be so dry snd boring. It obviously is important knowledge and skills to comprehend but the delivery and flow of the class makes such a difference. As parents and caregivers in the class, he gave us real life scenarios to practice and I think that will help so much! This particular class was hosted at Tourmaline Bjrth Center and was super clean and easy to find with Parking. I would highly recommend Nathan and CPR advantage. read more

My wife and I are about to have a baby and of all the classes and pre-infant prep that are out there I thought learning CPR was probably the most important. Courses offered by the hospitals didn't exactly fit our schedule, so we did a quick Yelp search and found CPR Advantage. Our instructor Nathan was more than fantastic! An EMT and dad himself, his style of teaching was the perfect balance between fun and interactive, but also instilling the seriousness that emergency situations require. He created real life situations and walked us through what to do when an infant/small child is both choking or has stopped breathing, and we actually got to practice first aid and CPR on some of the best dolls that money can buy. I don't think you can ever be fully prepared for an emergency, but after this class I can honestly say that my confidence level is higher for a situation that requires either CPR or the heimlich maneuver. Nathan even gives you a laminated cheat sheet to keep around your house in an event you need to refer back to it. Can't say enough about how impressed I was with CPR Advantage. read more

Nathan was absolutely perfect! He disinfected all supplies and had plastic gloves and protective plastic wraps over everything. It was completely safe!! He absolutely blew us away! What a great experience. We feel so much safer now with our 4 month old. EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS!!!! read more

See all

I've taken First Aid, basic CPR and BLS from Nathan over the last 4 years and always have a great time. His personal experience working as an EMT, especially for Rady Children's Hospital, makes you confident you're learning the best from the best. He makes an intimidating subject easy to learn with his clear and constructive feedback. I will continue to go directly to Nathan for my CPR and First Aid class needs! Thank you for all the great classes over the years! :) 6-3-2020 I had a lot of fun and walked away feeling confident I could use my skills. Nathan Kohen is a personable and very knowledgeable instructor. I highly recommend him and his courses to all! 1-22-2018 read more

Highly recommend Nathan at CPR Advantage!! He was amazing to work with and made sure I felt confident with my skills. I appreciate how he made the session fun, yet extremely educational (especially when I asked a lot of questions haha). Get certified with him! read more

What an informative guy with amazing teaching skills and leadership presence. 10/10 would recommend.

My wife and I did the in-person Infant CPR class last weekend and it was excellent. The hands on training was very useful and we feel much more confident in our abilities. Nathan was a terrific instructor and stayed after class to answer all of our questions! read more

My husband and I took the infant/child first aid & CPR class with Nathan at Babies R Us back in December. I had researched a lot of class options, but many of them were long courses and didn't focus on just infants and babies. This class was a good price and was only two hours (granted, a jam packed two hours, but a perfect amount of time for busy people). Nathan is passionate, knowledgeable, and engaging -- all the things you want in an instructor. I had taken my husband to a lot of baby-related classes before our son was born, and this was the only one where he said it was a worthwhile class. I still think about what Nathan taught us and would love to take a refresher class with him someday. read more

Nathan was absolutely amazing for about a billion and a half reasons, but I'll just go through a few here: 1) I wasn't able to attend my first scheduled training for legitimate reasons, so he went to bat for me to transfer my fees with the facility and reschedule for another date. What's more, he's super accessible by email and phone, offering to help in any way possible long in advance of my actually attending the training. 2) Nathan offered incredible instruction of First AID, AED, and CPR. His acting scenarios are hilarious and effective to get you as much "in the zone" of an actual emergency as possible. He's willing to answer any questions you might have (and with years of experience teaching, as a paramedic, and working with the Children's Hospital and the fire department, he has an abundance of knowledge to share). He's incredibly encouraging and has great intentions to help inspire more goodness in the world. 3) Nathan truly cares about his students. He offers to support you after you've done the trainings with him in case you need refreshers or are simply seeking references to other related resources. The students in my course were of all backgrounds & ages and were there for different purposes -- Nathan made each one of us feel comfortable and welcome. Since you need to renew your certification every two years, I'm looking forward to that time to learn from him again and bring other folks I know who are looking to be better informed on how to help others. I'm a yoga teacher, mentor teens, teach stand-up paddle yoga, and offer Reiki services, so I now feel MUCH better qualified to support my students in case an urgent or emergency need arises. Nathan & CPR Advantage are awesome! read more

As a healthcare professional, I am required to keep my BLS CPR for Healthcare Providers certification up-to-date. To be honest, and most of my colleagues agree, none of us like when two years lapse and we find ourselves scrambling around trying to find a class to get into to renew our CPR cards. If you aren't planning ahead, it is easy to let time creep up on you...leaving you with sometimes only a week to get in somewhere, to renew your CPR...and if you don't get in, well, looks like you have to stop working until you get an up-to-date card! So, I found myself with only a couple weeks to find a class, schedule a class to actually fit into my busy schedule, and then sit through the typical 3-4 hours worth of information (that to be frank, most people in the class are not even listening to!) and of course show our CPR "skills"...to then be granted with that ever-important American Heart Association CPR card! I Googled around...I Yelped around...I asked around...I needed to find a place to get in and quick. I inquired via email and phone calls to multiple places, with my fingers crossed that one would work out. I got a call back from Nathan at CPR Advantage, and it sounded promising! Nathan explained that since I was just looking to renew, I could do the written exam portion on the American Heart Association's website (for $17.50) and then work with him to set-up a time to do my "skills" portion in person (which should typically take 45-60mins and costs $40). PERFECT! As opposed to my other option of sitting through the whole certification class for 3 hours, I loved the idea of spending 45-60mins online with the written portion whenever I had the time...and then doing the "skills" portion in person for 45-60mins. The best part is that CPR Advantage comes to you...so even though it was just me, Nathan came right to my own house! I called him two days in advance and he was able to squeeze me in. He showed up right on time...carrying his case with the adult, pediatric, and infant mannequins. Though I have been CPR certified for over 7 years now, I still am not perfect at performing the skills. Thank God, I have never had to actually perform CPR in a real-life situation...but if in the future I do, I honestly feel that Nathan has answered all of my questions and prepared me fully for any basic life support event. Bottom Line: --Nathan is extremely accessible via phone, text, and email. This makes it easy to set-up an appointment. --CPR Advantage offers a realm of certifications. I only needed the renewal, though they also offer first time certifications as well.. --Price was fair; it's actually less than what some places charge! --CONVENIENT!!! I can't emphasize enough, how awesome it is that CPR Advantage comes right to your own house or place of employment! (even if it's just one person and not a group!!) --Knowledgeable. Nathan has real life/work experiences with using life saving techniques. He is extremely passionate about what he does, and he really wants his students to fully understand how to perform CPR if the need was to arise. I HIGHLY recommend using CPR Advantage for your CPR certification or CPR renewal! :) read more

I recently took my CPR class with Nathan Cohen, and I decided to take his class based on the price and the positive reviews on Yelp. The class was personalized and based on the specific needs and certification that each person was pursuing. In my past certification, the classes took 4-6 hours to complete. This class was small with 5 people and took a little over 2 hours to do. The awesome part is that you received your certification card and all the other extra material necessary for your certification the same day. The price as well as the minimal time involved was well worth it. I will plan to return in two years for my renew certification. My wife and I had a great experience . Thank you Mike Chahini read more

My husband and I took an infant CPR and choking class with Nathan this morning. He is a FANTASTIC teacher! He's encouraging, passionate, and engaging. We both walked out of the class feeling so much more prepared for anything that could happen for our child or anyone else's child. I cannot recommend this class enough. Seriously! Nathan! Keep it up! Thank you so so much! read more

I have a 14 month old daughter and a nurse friend of mine brought to my attention that I really need to learn first aid and Infant / Child / Adult CPR & AED. I found Nathan here on Yelp. I was impressed with all of the praise that people had to say about him as well as all of the kind words about his character. I called him up to enquire about a class around 8:30pm on a weeknight and he answered the phone. I could tell right away that he was passionate about his work and not a hungry salesman. He had a class available the very next morning so I took it. Nathan was super knowledgeable and he does a great job transferring that knowledge to you. He does such a good job explaining things and answering questions that you leave knowing that you found the right guy to learn from. He even told me to call him anytime after the class if he can answer any questions. Also, his equipment is clean. He takes the extra steps necessary to ensure that every thing is sanitized. He goes the extra mile which he will explain and put you more at ease during the class. I'm 100% Positive that Nathan has turned me into a ready and able lifesaver. I'm very grateful that I took this class. Every man woman and child should have these life saving skills and in my opinion Nathan is the man to teach it. If you have just read this call Nathan now. Don't take a chance on regretting it some day if you don't. Thank You Nathan!!! read more

Nathan is amazing!! He made learning CPR both informative and fun!!! We hired Nathan for a staff CPR training class. His communication was superb prior to our class, he arrived early and made sure every staff member understood how to properly administer CPR and really took the time to help each and every person. Our three and half hour class flew by. Nathan was fully prepared with all the necessary equipment and even was very accommodating when we had an extra staff member show up last minute. I will most definitely do business with Nathan again and continue to refer him to all my family, friends and acquaintances. After taking this class I think that every single person should be CPR certified in case of any emergency. read more

I found Nathan on Yelp and I'm glad I did. He worked with my schedule and at my preferred pace. It's a great deal since he comes to you. He was very professional and kind. I will be coming back to him every time I need a renewal. If you need CPR or first aid look no further, call Nathan. read more

Nathan is the real deal. Super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and a great teacher. You can tell that he is really passionate about CPR. Instead of paying the same price to be in a class of probably 20-30 people for 8 hours, my wife and I got a private CPR course in 2.5 hours at our house. You do the math. Highly recommended. read more

Go to Nathan Kohen; he's easily the best CPR instructor I've ever had. I've taken CPR a total of three times in my life, this time for to become a teacher. Although the class was over three hours, it seemed to fly by. Nathan is not only clear and concise with his instruction, he's friendly and entertaining. He's an expert in his field and uses his experience as an EMT for examples, which I found especially helpful. The class was thorough and I feel that I'll be able to remember what I learned. And if I don't, Nathan makes himself available for questions any time. I really don't have any idea WHY you would take this from any one else. He's a great instruction: clear, helpful, and makes the time fly with his hilariousness. I plan to recommend him to everyone I know who needs CPR certification. Just like the stars indicate: THIS is a good as it gets! read more

We had a CPR and AED course today and it was fantastic. I've taken several certification classes in the past and none compare to this. Nathan is awesome! He made the content engaging and tailored the information to our needs. We will be taking the First Aid course next. Thank you CPR Advantage!!! read more

took cpr train at apprenticeship class instructor was great very helpful on up to date procedures on cpr for adults and children.

Nathan is a great instructor and he is passionate about what he does! This translates to his teaching because he makes sure you understand important concepts. I also like that he teaches from his own personal experience and shares practical advice in addition to the American Heart Association's curriculum. He teaches one on one or private groups and the session is affordable considering the one on one attention and if you value your time. The entire adult CPR + infant and child CPR took about 2.5 hour; this would take about 8 hours at a normal class session with 10+ people and would probably cost the same. I would definitely recommend him to others, he responds promptly to calls and e-mails and also encourages his students to keep a long-time relationship with CPR advantage and makes himself available by phone, text or e-mail. read more

Nathan was a fantastic and well experienced instructor! He was so willing to work with our large group by teaching back to back to back classes across 2 days consisting of smaller groups in order to abide by social distancing rules. We did ours in a park and it worked great! He was able to alter his instruction in order to allow our class to successfully and safely complete our certification. I cannot recommend him or his class enough! You won't regret it. read more

Nathan is an amazing instructor! Very personable, gave appropriate feedback, and left me feeling confident in my ability to use CPR and an AED if it were ever necessary. I was able to take his class with some of my classmates for our physical therapy program and we all had a great time. I would highly recommend him! read more

We had our awesome first class with Nathan. The knowledge and passion he has for what he teaches is incredible and made for a really fun learning experience. Thank you, Nathan! I would recommend your course to anyone. read more

Guys Nathan really is an amazing CPR/AED & first aid instructor!!! My wife and I are so glad that we went to him. I did a lot of research on CPR companies before we choose Nathan. He is very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, is super friendly and made the class really fun!!! He teaches in a way that helps you remember what you are learning too. One of the things I liked most is he prepares you with real life examples and prepares you for being able to perform flawlessly and confidently if you ever had to use CPR and first aid. It's not just about showing up and passing the test, Nathan really does care that you become competent in learning CPR. He loves what he does and is very compassionate about teaching others. Another thing I liked with CPR advantage is that the equipment is the latest and greatest. The mannequins are as close to real that you will get. And he disassembles them and sterilizes them and inserts all new lung bags unlike other companies that just spray alcohol to the disinfect the surface. All in all, IMO, if you need to learn CPR or get re-certified -- Then call Nathan. We'll be going to him again when we get re-certified. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND him! read more

If you are looking for a professional, personable and knowledgeable CPR/AED instructor who is willing to come to your location, then look no further, Nathan is the person for you! His course consisted of an easy to follow video with breaks for hands on application to adult and child manikins. Nathan provided individualized feedback to every student and customized some of the scenarios as they would play out in our indoor cycling studio. Nathan truly cared that we were properly instructed; his class could have ended 30+ minutes earlier but for all of our questions. At the end of the class, we received our certification card along with extra material for each person as well as for the studio. Compared to others instructors that we've had through the years, NATHAN IS THE BEST. The cost is very affordable and well worth what you receive. We will be taking his course again. Thank you, Nathan! Melanie Andrews Dansooz Cycle Studio San Diego, CA read more

Really happy with how much I learned during our instruction with Nathan to get CPR certified! He took the time to thoroughly explain everything to me and the rest of my coworkers and answered any questions we had if certain situations were to come up! Thanks for showing us the ropes Nathan! read more

The CPR advantage class is an awesome class to take. The teacher that runs it (Nathan Kohen) is a awesome dude and helps out everyone to be certified. I would recommend this class if you want to save lives and be a contribution to the world read more

My husband and I took the Infant CPR class today at the Baby Garten Studio and we are so happy that we did. The class had just the right length of time and amount of information so that it's not overwhelming, unlike the other baby classes we've taken. The hands-on teaching and immediate application on our mannequins made us feel a bit more prepared in our journey as first time, soon-to-be parents. We were engaged throughout as Nathan demo'd + walked us through scenarios and coached us in the new techniques we just learned. Additionally, Nathan's style -- which combines authoritative knowledge, real-life experience as an EMT and as a dad, compassion, and genuine passion to share this critical information, makes his class such a great investment. We highly recommend this for first time parents, or even as a refresher for parents with toddlers. Thank you Nathan! read more

I decided to use CPR Advantage because they got solid reviews and do private sessions at your home, which was great to accommodate my family's schedule. Nathan came to our house to do an infant / child CPR course. It was GREAT. Not only did he thoroughly cover all of the material, he really took the time to answer our questions and make sure we understood each technique. I've taken Red Cross CPR courses before but found Nathan's approach to be much more memorable and affective. It was 90% hands-on so you practice a lot as you learn. We will absolutely use CPR Advantage for future classes - thanks Nathan! read more

Nathan is the best teacher! He's friendly, professional, polite, FUNNY and best of all: knowledgable. I asked if he'd still be doing this in 2 years so I can get my re-cert through him. The class was very comfortable and fun, not too high pressure but gets a realistic point across and it's not boring at any point. Time flies and he's super prepared! You leave with your cards and all. I would recommend his services to everyone. He's got a great website and the best prices for the services provided. I'm super frugal and do my research before buying a product. This guy won my business easily. Most importantly, I actually feel confident I could save a life. Thanks Nathan and keep up the great work. You're awesome! read more

We've been using CPR advantage for a couple of years to certify our staff in both CPR and First Aid. The instruction is always professional, highly informative, and even fun. Nathan makes an otherwise stressful subject easy to learn with his relaxed demeanor and experienced insight. His passion for the subject creates a great learning environment and we all really enjoyed the class. I would recommend CPR Advantage to any group or business who is interested in these skills that might one day save a life. read more

Oh my, I made an appointment for Nathan to meet me at my house yesterday...he showed up right on time. My bad, I didn't do the first part online, like I was supposed to. He was SO nice and promised that it was no problem to meet me tonight instead. I felt like a schmuck! He, again showed up at my house (!!!!) right on time and he was great! The class was very informative, though I've taken this class every two years for the last 32 years, he made it fun and answered all my questions. I HIGHLY recommend Nathan and CPR Advantage. I will pass out his business cards to every person I know who needs his expertise!!! Suzie read more

My coworkers and I had a CPR/AED certification session with Nathan last weekend, and it was incredible! He is such a great teacher, and really takes the time to explain everything in detail & describe how things work. He was very knowledgeable and easily answered every question we had (and we had plenty). Beyond how wonderful a teacher he was, he was just a really, genuinely very nice guy. Very professional, too. I would HIGHLY recommend taking a class with CPR Advantage to anyone. It's so important to be certified in CPR and AEDs (now that they are more prevalent in the world) so we can all help each other out :)! read more

I highly recommend Nathan at CPR Advantage for First Aid and CPR training. He came to my home to teach a group of friends and new parents. He tailored the class to meet our needs with our infant children. Nathan met all of our expectations for the class. His instruction style and hands on practice helped us feel confident in our new skills. I am so happy that we took this class with him. We are definitely better parents because of it. Thanks Nathan! read more

We love Nathan. He taught us what we needed to know to keep our family safe during an emergency. We continue to go back to him to recertify. Thanks Nathan! read more

Nathan is a wonderful, friendly instructor! His high caliber of expertise and professionalism is refreshing, and his anecdotal information is priceless. He is thorough and precise, and he doesn't mind taking extra time to answer any questions. Prices are very reasonable, and Nathan's flexibility when scheduling classes (both time and location) is extraordinarily helpful. Overall, I would give more stars if I could! read more

My husband and I just took the two hour infant Cpr class. Nathan was an excellent instructor. Everything was hands on, and Nathan took the time to make sure each student had time to practice and feel confident with what we learned. I highly recommend this class! read more
