But the course presenter Anita, who was assisted by Jameston (apologies for probably getting the name wrong), were very welcoming and 10 minutes in I was already feeling comfortable enough to ask my "novice" questions. From the start Anita and her assistant were engaging and very professional. The class was thorough and interactive. The very hands on with the training mannequins and AED made me feel more at ease with learning the steps for BSL. The facility is super clean with 2 restrooms, located in a nice business park in Irvine near the Spectrum. Front desk and other staff in the halls were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be taking my renewal class with CPR Lady training facility. Great experience. Sorry, I don't have any pictures. I was too busy trying to focus on the class to do any selfies with the mannequins. Maybe next time! :)

I completed CPR training in February 2026 in Colorado and initially, the process itself was smooth…read more I can certainly acknowledge that. However, there were significant issues with the training setup that ultimately led to an injury. Due to the room configuration, I was unable to properly reach the mannequins and had to perform CPR on my tiptoes. The table was not adjustable, and no stool or accommodation was available. As a result of these poor ergonomics and lack of proper setup, I sustained a neck and trapezius injury mid-cycle. Ended up having to literally crawl on to the table . At the time, I reached out simply to provide feedback in hopes of preventing a similar experience for others especially individuals under 5 feet tall. The initial response I received was apologetic, and I appreciated that. However, after enduring five weeks of significant pain, I followed up to ask about the appropriate process before seeking medical care, as providers often ask for details about how an injury occurred. Unfortunately, the response I received at that point was defensive and dismissive, referencing a signed waiver rather than addressing the concern. The response was unfortunate. I fully understand that CPR training can be physically demanding. However, participants should be provided with a safe and properly adjusted environment to perform these skills. In this case, the setup did not allow for that and contributed directly to my injury. As a side note, I happened to have the session recorded (originally intended for social media), and it clearly shows the moment the injury occurred. Overall, I'm very disappointed in both the lack of appropriate setup and the company's response. I am still dealing with daily neck pain without resolution.

On the day of the course, I came in not really knowing what to expect. Dallas Shelly was my instructor, and honestly, he was amazing. He made the class feel super comfortable, very engaging, and adjusted how he taught the material based on everyone's level of experience. By the end of it, I felt very satisfied and just wanted to come on here and say how easy the whole process was. They gave the certification at the end of the course, and overall, if I had to do this again, I'd definitely come back here. Oh, and Patrick the admin guy was nice as well.

This review is only for their FIRST AID certification-…read more I was looking around for a place to complete my first aid certification. I was glad to find out that you do not need to register prior nor do you need to make a reservation to attend class. It is on a walk-in basis and you just need to sign in. Once you get inside the room, the instructor gives you instructions to sign in and fill out a paper and an envelope. I gave them a check for $44 for standard first aid. If you're working with children, you must get the pediatric first aid (also $44) and it is the same instruction, but supposedly you just get a different card. The class says it is for four hours, but the instructor breezes by the lecture and it was done before I knew it. The center itself is a little small and it is not a normal classroom except for there being a whiteboard in the front of the classroom. There were lots of CPR dummies on the floor scattered everywhere and we sat in white lawn chairs. The instructor was a guy who was monotone and tried to be funny, but I was beginning to be really sleepy. All in all, you get what you pay for. In & out with your cert! I think I will be back for my re-cert for first aid :)

Thankfully it wasn't boring and dry for 4-5 hours; because when doing a recert, it's really not needed unless you have issue with certain changes.... or there are lessons that you are having trouble with. In that case she is more than happy to go thru those things with you to ensure you really know the material. I would definitely opt to go this route again instead of a traditional long classroom approach the next time I need to recertify. Making an appointment is very easy on the website and communicating with Teresa is a breeze. Price is about right and if you have the book great but if not speak with her about it because she generally has loaners that you can use. Good spot to learn!!

The equipment wasn't clean and wasn't ready to go for my skills test appointment. The bag was missing the mask! I couldn't find the replacement until I looked under the manikins table and in one of the drawers. That wasted time. There should have been a spare set ready to go for my skills test upon check-in on the table. It was extremely hot in the room as well! There was no air conditioning in the room on a hot 90 degree day. I was literally dripping sweat doing the simulations until I realized there was a portable air conditioner. I did turn on the portable unit. It took awhile to cool down the room. Again, wasting time. The proctor had to intervene a few times because the internet connection was poor! It lost connectivity a couple of times and the connection was spotty. The person was very helpful but hard to understand. The instructions that were given were vague. On a positive note, the online portion was "excellent"! The course work was very convenient, easy to follow, and the videos were great! I loved doing the online modules prior and than doing the skills test from 4:00PM to 5:00PM. This saved a lot of time. I appreciate this option. My only recommendation is for the skills test on exam day to be ready to go for the scheduled appointment and better organized with complete kits to perform the skills tests. Also, a more reliable internet connection. Thank you for offering the Hybrid class! I would definitely consider testing this option again because my work schedule and the convenience, but with the hope that it would be more organized. I am certified for the next 2-years, so we are good. Thank you again. Have a great week!

I completed my IV certification through this school, and unfortunately my experience has been very…read morefrustrating and disorganized from start to finish. During the course, there were multiple last-minute changes, including in-person skills days being rescheduled the night before, which made it difficult to plan and take the program seriously. After completing the program, I submitted my LVN license on April 27 and requested that my certification be sent and posted to the Department of Consumer Affairs (Breeze) as required for employment. I received no response. I followed up again the next day and still received no reply. Because of this delay, I have already been denied multiple job opportunities since employers require the certification to be visible on Breeze. Only after multiple follow-ups did I finally receive my certificate, but it still has not been posted on the DCA website, which continues to impact my ability to secure a job. The lack of communication and delayed processing is unacceptable, especially when students are relying on timely certification for employment. This experience has cost me real job opportunities. I would strongly advise future students to consider other programs that are more organized and responsive. Also, I have an email stating that this was a three day course, I asked for the days off, and I already referred many people and paid, during the first day of class I was told this was a 4 day course and had to call out of work. I was also charged two times for this course and asked for a refund and received no reply, I had to open up a dispute with my bank. This school is very unorganized and they overbooked our class.
