Great teacher who is knowledgeable. Easy to schedule classes online. Lot with free parking is nice.

I have been to CPR for Life twice and I believe it is a great place. Lisa and Hollie make a great team and give me lots of tips and pointers on becoming a CPR instructor. Thanks!!! read more

I am applying for a CNA program and needed to take a BLS course to get in. I stumbled upon CPR For Life through the American Heart Association website. I am BEYOND pleased with the experience I had and will definitely be back when it is time to renew. The class was me and one other person and I was really thankful for that. Our instructor Hollie was amazing and made sure we understood everything we were being taught. Having such a small class really made the learning more hands on. We got more direct attention and direct feedback. We learned everything necessary for CPR and BLS. I felt confident leaving the office that I could easily implement the skills I had learned. I feel confident that I will succeed in my program due to what I learned here. I will definitely recommend CPR For Life to friends and others I know to take a CPR course. read more

I have taken First Aid / CPR Classes all over the world for the last 30 years, by far this is the First Class I walked out of that I felt most confident and the use of the AED (Defibrillator) portion is essential and well demonstrated Hollie's commitment to have you leave Confident and Competent is refreshing She knows her stuff, Funny, and has a "Great" Attitude. I have a date with her in 2 years for my refresher course! read more

GET YOUR CPR TRAINING HERE! So many classes to choose from and available as soon as you need it. The price was very fair, best money I've paid so far to renew my CPR cert. First, the parking is abundant and FREE! The building is easy to find and not far from the 118 freeway. Hollie, the instructor for my class was very professional, knowledgeable, a good speaker and relaxed. She knew the material well and knew how to teach and discuss it in a way that was interesting and not boring. All questions were entertained, discussed, and answered. Class was not rushed but joe did it feel like it dragged. I'll definitely be spreading the word and returning in 2 years! read more

I am so glad I came across CPR For Life. My BLS certification was due before I left on a trip and I decided to take a class with the Red Cross, which was a pricey $85. I then found out two days before leaving on my trip that it was not accredited by the AHA and I would have to take ANOTHER class the day I had to leave to the airport. The staff at the Red Cross (who knew I was in the medical field) failed to inform me that it would not be accepted and that I would have to re-take this class. I called Lisa, the owner, and she was extremely helpful and made sure I was taking the correct class (AHA approved for those working in the medical field). They were able to get me into a class last minute, and assured me I would get the certificate on the same day! Perri taught the class and was so nice and informative and really prepared us for different situations. I received my certification within one hour and was able to turn in all my paperwork right in time. I highly recommend CPR For Life to anyone looking to get their CPR/BLS certification! read more

Took my BLS renewal class on Saturday morning. I love the instructors and the class is fairly small (7students and 2 instructors). The instructors were very informative and thorough. It was fun and easy course. I will be back for my renewal in 2 years! read more

This was my first time learning CPR and I had the best experience. My instructor, Perri, did a wonderful job teaching and coaching us. She was very kind and helpful which made the experience enjoyable. I am grateful for this class still being held (with social distancing) even during the COVID pandemic. The class size was small which allowed us all to get individualized attention. Sign up was easy and seamless, all my questions were answered, and I received my card the same day. Thank you Perri and CPR for Life, I will definitely be back when it comes time to renew! Recommend to all needing CPR/BLS training. read more

I'm so glad I took this class! I had to do CPR First Aid and Pediatric for work and had such a hard time finding the right place looking online and when I called CPR for life they were super informative! I set up an appointment over the phone and was able to enroll in a class in less than a week. My class ran about 6 hours which may sound long, but let me tell you the time goes by so fast because of how awesome Perri is! She makes it fun, easy, and most importantly stress free. I felt very welcome the moment I walked through the door and you could tell that everyone else in the class was genuinely enjoying it. What I loved most about her style of teaching is that she walks you through the steps carefully and makes sure everyone is comfortable and ready to move on to each new part. This was definitely worth it and I gained knowledge not just on how to perform CPR but also how to act in situations that involve choking, asthma, heat stroke, and so much more! I would definitely recommend this class for everyone. Thank you Perri and CPR for life :) read more

I'm the Director of an early education center & preschool in Santa Monica & we use CPR for Life every 2 years for our Staff of 50+ for re-certification of Infant, child, & adult CPR/AED/First Aid. All of the instructors are professional, knowledgeable , fun & engaging during the entire training. The training is thorough, approved by the American Heart Association & reasonably priced; our re-certification cards came within a week of completing the training. If you want your staff & yourself to be properly prepared than you'll want to be trained by CPR for Life! read more

My husband and I needed to take a CPR/ first aid class on a little bit of short notice. The owner was very accommodating and got us in the class. The two instructors were fun, friendly and very informative. The class felt small enough that we got the personal attention we needed. We ended up really enjoying the class and came away feeling comfortable with what we learned. After taking this class, I realized how little I had learned at the previous two classes I had taken with other companies. I would absolutely recommend CPR For Life! read more

I've been coming here the last 3 times for my Physical Therapy required CPR renewal. Very good instruction, very organized; yes, it is a legit 3.5 hours but no corners are cut. If you are dealing with potentially very ill people it is worth the time every 2 years. Appreciate that the joking , story telling is kept to a minimum. read more

This CPR experience was definitely much quicker and easier than I've had in the past. I got the online one and did that within a few days. The courses were very informative and the situational part was great being that it was online and you get to work on it at your own pace. Then I didn't know what to expect when it got to my skills portion. Made an appt with Lisa, she made things quick and easy as far as making an appt. went in on my appt time to find out it was just the instructor and I. Her name was Perri, she was nothing but the best! Very professional and made the experience quick and fun. Was out of there in less than an hour. I would definitely recommend this place to whoever needs to take a CPR class for the first time or renewal. I'll be back come renewal time! read more

Excellent course!! I'm so glad I had Collin as an instructor. This was definitely one of the best CPR classes I have attended

We've used CPR for Life to certify all the teachers at Robins Nest Kidcare for close to 5 years! They are professional and work with the needs of our teachers and Daycare. I highly recommend them, we appreciate their work and dedication to safety! Our class was conducted on-site which was convenient and appreciated! CPR for Life makes it easy and provides the training in an easy and relate-able manner! Stop looking around and just use them! We plan on using them for future certifications! read more

I've used CPR for Life twice for renewing my BLS cpr and have been impressed both times. The pace is very good and both teachers were excellent. CPR mannequins and equipment were in good shape. There were many different dates and times open to allow for people's varied schedules. See you in two years! read more

Fantastic class! I walked out of there feeling confident, and knowing that I can do CPR/AED if I need to.

I have been attending BLS CPR courses since 2013 when I was first entering into nursing school. Ever since then I've been going back every two years when I need to recertify for my work as a nurse. Each time I go my instructor is Perri and she is always extremely professional makes the class fun and makes it easy to learn the updated information. She applies everything in a real life setting and what we would be doing in our clinical practice. I highly recommend this company for your BLS CPR classes and recertification because they are nothing short of amazing. Thank you for everything the past four classes over the past eight years! read more

This was my second time coming to this place for the BLS course. I originally went to another place closer to home but didn't have a great experience, so I ended up going here and it was the best decision haha. I spoke to Lisa about signing up for this class, and she is so nice! She handles everything so professionally and I never had an issue with setting up an appointment. We practiced social distancing (4 students; 6 ft apart, etc). Perri was my instructor, and she is amazing as well. She was super patient with all of us and let us practice skills a few extra times until we felt confident to do a skills assessment. I had been given different information about what to do while the AED is analyzing/preparing to deliver shock while I was taking a different course, so it was a nice refresher to see what the AHA guidelines actually were. I received my certification within the next several hours. I would definitely come back for my next renewal. read more

I just completed my Heartsaver Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED class with Hollie. It was an excellent experience. She was very thorough and made certain I learned the techniques of each skill carefully and completely before moving on to the next. The presentation of all the material using the video along with a well written and easy to read textbook, and the variety of learning props made the day go smoothly and with unending interest. I learned many new changes in the law as well as the latest practices adopted in CPR and First Aid that will prove to be vital to me in my business. Hollie was very knowledgeable and professional and made the class serious but still fun and engaging.This was money well spent and I left feeling confident I could employ the skills I learned. read more

By far the best location I've done my CPR renewal course. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. They're direct and to the point. Also, I love that their class sizes are small and it's actually hands on. I've taken it elsewhere and there was 60+ people in the room and you barely get any hands on experience with the mannequin. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this site!!! read more

I took the BLS provider CPR certification course. They ensured that I was taking the correct course. I've taken this certification course at few other facilities but I enjoyed the instruction Perri and her team gave. The videos watched covered a lot of knowledge. Also, Perri and her team also added to what the videos missed; real life instances that can help in emergencies. The course was scheduled to run 4 hours and it was completed in that time. All in all, a great course read more

I am a nurse. been one for 26 years. I was coming up on needing a CPR renewal. I used these guys 2 years ago and it was ok. Since I was sort of lazy I just decided to use the same guys. first of all they are pricier than most . cost me 65 bucks for the 3-4 hour class. So what is the beef? here is the beef. We listen and watch this movie that shows us how to do compressions. Then we go to the mannequins. Our instructor..goes to the radio and plays 'stayin alive' by the Bee Gees. tells us that the rhythm of the song is the same as compressions need to be. now first of all, I have a bad knee and I cant be up on my knee the correct position so I have to lean to the side a bit. so doing the compressions caused me significant discomfort in my good leg because I had to compensate for the bad knee. the instructor made us do compressions non stop FOR THE ENTIRE SONG. I was almost in tears from discomfort. ok. got to go and sit at the table after that. moving on. if you have taken cpr you know you have to feel for a pulse in the neck on occasion. So I was doing my compressions and breaths and the instructor..tells assistant instructor..'can you show her where the carotid artery is?' oh I almost blew a gasket. I loudly said ' I am a nurse.. I think I know where the carotid artery is'. NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN. My good leg was sore for days. no joke. the muscles on the side of me leg were so achy. then my nurse friend tells me ..she got her cpr renewed on the computer....go figure... for 19 bucks. I am not going to be so stupid again. Do not recommend you go here. doing compressions for the length of a disco song without stopping is no fun. it is difficult.. I have never had to do it for such a length of time, for a class. Oh and the place we were at.... the bathroom had bugs crawling around.. I hate bugs. read more

I love this place! The instructors are GREAT! After one of their courses, I have the confidence that I could do my part in attempting to save a persons life!! read more

I had a great time here, and Perri was very knowledgable on the subject and was sure to add any details into the class that the video did not cover. It also was only about 2 hours for infant, child, and adult so that was great. I have already recommended to a friend. read more

A wonderful experience at this place second to none in professionalism always a pleasure dealing with this company

Friendly staff, helpful information. Overall it was a thorough and simple course. We even ended up getting out a little early. Prices can be found on their website, seemed pretty comparable to the others in the area, this was the closest location to offer the course near me. read more
