I've been doing my ACLS and BLS recertification with Dr. Rendon for years! This is easily the best team I've ever worked with to do recertifications. Great teachers, lovely people. You won't regret signing up. read more

super nice people and made everything very clear and easy to understan. I've been going with the every two years for the past 10 years or so

You make BLS & ACLS certification so easy, no stress!! So happy you're here in the desert. read more

This business goes above and beyond! Lisa kindly assists before class with all your needs, and makes the registration/pre-course process as smooth as possible Dr Rendon is a skilled educator! He teaches in a direct and easy-to-understand manner. You leave this course with the why-what-how knowledge needed to save lives at all levels. He provides details and handouts that provide visual/practical assistance for better breakdown of algorithms. I cannot recommend them enough read more

GO ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR CERTIFICATIONS!! The $20-60 you save by going here is NOT worth the headache and waste of your time!!! I paid to take all four certifications - BLS, ACLS, PALS and NRP - at this sketchy establishment in the course of two days which sounded like a great deal and efficient use of my time. Instead, I was robbed of a whole day and a half of my time, $100+ in books I never received and an extra 2hr drive I was never supposed to make. From day one, with hours notice, I was asked to reschedule my two-day classes as I'd been the only one to sign up. I was understanding but at the same time, regardless of signups, I paid for THESE two days of classes - I was expecting to receive all my textbooks on the first day to assist with test outs on the 2nd day and I was already skeptical that they would get through all four classes in two days as it was, let alone one! I emphasized that I lived far away, had already been in route and needed these certifications for a pending job. Without so much as an apology, I was told to wait for an email to complete online trainings for BLS, ACLS and PALS. I didn't receive that email until the late afternoon hours leaving me with having to go through countless modules online late into the night before class the next day. The next day rolls by only to be met by another text saying that a flat tire is causing the class to get delayed by 1.5 HOURS after I'd already gotten halfway there! Not only that, but the NRP instructor wasn't available so I have to come back NEXT WEEK for the NRP class! Why wasn't I told this yesterday??? Having heard nothing for a week since, I had to reach out to get a time for the NRP class and was given a 6pm start time on a Friday night when I live an hour away and had originally signed up for 8am classes! I come back a week later and lo behold, the instructor hits a "traffic jam" and won't be there for another HOUR past the 6pm start time! THIS ESTABLISHMENT KNOWS NOTHING OF PROFESSIONALISM, BASIC DECENCY NOR RESPECT FOR THE TIME AND MONEY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. In reference to the pictures, I never received my refund for the textbooks I didn't receive and certainly saw no effort to refund the "coffee down the street" that was recommended while I waited a total 2.5hrs for the unprofessional instructors at this establishment. read more

See all

Amazing. Dr. Rendon's clear explanations truly simplify the learning process and make classes enjoyable.

ACLS was a stress free experience with Dr Rendon's class.The written test was fine to complete as I answered the questions I was confident I was doing ok. read more

Wonderful class. Have been going to this education class for years. Always nice to see co workers from past years New education presented. Thank you read more

We had a great selection of time slots for CPR. The instructors were knowledgeable and patient. They were cognizant of our time, and the mannequins were in excellent condition. read more

Thought it was great. Got a text a few days before the class saying the class had a low turn out so we could do it in 1 day instead of 2. Came in got down to business Learning what I needed and got out in at a reasonable time. Very efficient and will definitely come back. read more

I got my ecard for ACLS in a timely manner , the training was great and I recommend them to friends

This lady is funny, she's not rude at all, she just very blunt. Great CPR course, only downside the AC was not working! :( read more

Dr. Rendon, Revive Education - Recertification day! - CPR Classes Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Absolutely terrible experience. First of all, the fee is not refundable. You will never get it back regardless of how many times they cancel your class. Secondly, they cancel frequently, based on low sign ups. They did it to me and never refunded my money (over $240, as I was signed up for all three certifications ). Additionally, they cancelled my daughter's class the day before and offered that she take an "online class" instead. Would NOT recommend this business. read more

Great CPR class, the instructor was a great teacher! I felt very comfortable with what I learned. I would definitely recommend this CPR school! The instructor was also funny and entertaining. read more

I am a Registered Nurse and I have taken; ACLS, PALS and BLS with Dr. Rendon Revive at their Rancho Mirage location for the past 8 years. The instructors have always been very through and they take the effort to make sure that all material is understood. They tend to offer small class sizes, so there is plenty of opportunity for hands on training. I have never felt overwhelmed or intimidated by classes at Dr. Rendon Revive. I highly recommend taking a class there. read more

Cathy is a Good instructor! I took my BLS Class today February 10th in this location and I liked the way she teaches and explains every detail. Although she explains class Good she does have a Rude personality towards students! As I was asking questions In Class she asked me if I had a "Language Barrier " because as soon as I speak you were able to tell, and i told her I did not I was born in the US but Spanish was my 1st language and She started laughing and said WELL I THINK YOU DO! Which that made me feel uncomfortable and upset! I'm here typing this review because i want to let the Owners of this facility know about their staff and to the public as well. And because (CATHY SAID IF WE LEFT A REVIEW THEY WERE GOING TO MAIL US A CPR MASK BY LEAVING A REVIEW!!) I recommend this Class to anyone interested in getting their BLS! Just beware of Cathy the instructor... -Alma R. (using a friends account lol) read more

Great informative BLS class with very nice and helpful instructor. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for Saturday BLS class!

This is the place for CPR and ACLS! Kathy was an awesome instructor. We will definitely be back for renewals again. Thanks !!! read more

They are only after money they don't want a refund to give to students who made a very honest mistake and they say they care they only care for the amount and not really helping the people give their money back read more

The lady that checked me in was so harsh and rude. She didn't answer my questions about the process and acted like I was stupid. She didn't listen at all. I walked out. Now I have one week to find another place to take my skills test. A big fail for her. read more

Before I start with the negatives let me give the positive, I learned what I needed to know to pass the class, that being said the person teaching the class leaves much to be desired. I felt like she was a bit condescending and treated some people in the class as if they were children making statements to the effect of, "Get with the program" and telling people what they were doing wrong as if she was scolding a small child. I don't know about anyone else but I hold a professional license in a professional career and I felt this women was inappropriate on more then a few occasions. My advice in the future would be to maintain some semblance of professionalism when teaching others and watch your tone. read more

Susanne is extremely passionate about her work, and will guarantee you know what's going on walking out the door... Received my ACLS, PALS, and BLS this past weekend, and I intend to return so long as she keeps teaching and I have to pay out of pocket... Thank you! read more

This is a great school for healthcare professionals looking to update or maintain their PALS, ACLS, BLS, ECG. They offer competitive pricing and offer discounts for large groups. As a nursing student I really do appreciate it. The class was easy to follow, and the instructors while critical were awesome. I will continue to come here in the future. read more

This course took a very long time, although very educational, 5 hours straight was a bit long for me. The instructor was spunky, knowledgeable and fun. She gave great advice on BLS. It's a lot for one instructor to do. I do appreciate her passion for the subject! read more

Worst instructor! I don't recommend this place find another if possible. Instructor is just rude and disrespectful to entire class!

I completed my online PALS course and scheduled an appointment for skills testing. I showed up to the first appointment and no one was there. When I called they said they saw my reservation but forgot to schedule me. So I rescheduled for this weekend. When I arrived on the weekend, the skills test was fast, but their printer "ran out of ink." I've paid $150 to obtain this piece of paper and now have to come back this afternoon to get it. I'm hoping I don't get ripped off. read more

Easy renewal and an excellent instructor the class is was very though i felt i got all the information i needed. what more could you ask for? read more

I enjoyed taking the Basic BLS class today. The positives were: taking it with other like-minded people, the practice demonstrations, reviewing after the video and pearls from Vince. Kathy and Vince really provided an opportunity for you to learn; even if you made mistakes. What could improve is the side talk that occurred during instruction. The instructors were trying to be quiet but really their sound/noise created a distraction. This was my 2 experience. I will return. Thank you! read more

Well, I got what I came for - my ACLS certification! I took the online class and did the skills assessment on site. The skills test was quicker than expected but through. Not the greatest looking place, but when you're a busy health professional, you're just wanting to get the job done. Got my license and will return to this location for recertification in the future. read more

Best ACLS PALS ECG course ever taken in 15 years I will travel all the way from Northern California to recert every 2 years efficient fun and the best MD Trained American Heart instructors. Often Dr Rendon will teach the course himself. Dr Rendon loves to teach ! You can tell when he teaches that he loves his work. read more

This is a very detailed class. The price is great for a college student. My 2nd time here and will come again if I need to. If you are looking for a class or need the American Heart Association CPR card, this is a great spot. read more

100% dissatisfied. I was totally committed to enrolling and completing the MA course. My advice for this process is to be open up front from the very beginning....I was misled. The office needs more training and the owner needs to be aware that his staff is under qualified. I was able to get all my money refunded. But you jeopardized my future because of your poor handling of the enrollment process. read more
