I've attended classes at both the San Diego and Oceanside locations, and the San Diego location is by far the easiest and most convenient. Plenty of parking and absolutely no hassle. I recently took a class with instructor, P.W., and his instruction was exceptional. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, kind, and inclusive. He somehow makes an all-day class feel like it goes by quickly! What I appreciated most was his teaching style. He doesn't just give you the answers, he walks you through the question or scenario and helps you critically think your way to the answer yourself. He takes the time to explain things clearly and makes sure everyone feels comfortable asking questions. This was a challenging class for me, and having an instructor like P.W. made a huge difference. I'm hoping the next time I take a class, he'll still be teaching here! read more

I needed to take a PALS class quick and this business is the closest to me that had one coming up soon. Everything about the process was easy. The sign-up, the parking, they even had a nice little kitchen area with coffee brewed for us when we got there! Chris who taught my class was great. He was a bit shy when I asked his name, although I'm pretty sure he told us at the beginning of the class, but I forgot. But I will tell you that man kept me laughing and engaged, I didn't doze off even once. I felt like I left the building with a good solid foundation for my new job. I heard that the business is looking for a new home, apparently the owner of the building sold it and gave them very short notice. So it will still be in the Mission Valley area and if you are looking to take a PALS class, I highly recommend it. read more

I been going to this class forever. I wouldn't go anywhere else to review my certs. Quinn is going one best instructor to have. I got there super earlier, they all helped. Thanks Quinn. I appreciate that. Great all around staff and team. read more

I had my class with Tiffany Brown, and she was amazing. She made the class very entertaining and not boring at all. The pace was perfect, and she explained everything clearly. Overall, it was a very good class and a great learning experience. read more

I took my ASLS Prehospital and Inhospital Provider and Instructor course and I highly recommend this course to prehospital EMS, RN'S, NP, MD. It a comprehensive ASLS course where one assess a pt with normal sx, abnormal AIS sx and a full pt with gross motor AIS sx with return demonstration of abnormalities and treatment interventions. Chris the Instructor conducted the course along with Sephie and Daniel other Instructor assisted the course. Chris has a wealth of medical knowledge, training and made the course successful for my certification. The Team at Express Training Solutions are on top of the game with AHA course. I highly recommend ETS for all your AHA certification and other courses. read more

Did an ACLS training here recently and was a great experience overall. The instructor was knowledgeable and presented high yield topics that were easy to understand. There is ample parking at the facility, and you get the card same day via email. Would return when time comes to renew! read more

Ms. Gina Calvillo was professional yet personable, an excellent Instructor! Didn't take much of your time, yet taught you everything you need to know and more. read more

Patrick was an amazing instructor! Highly recommend. He took ACLS and made it approachable and memorable. He took the time necessary to help us understand not only the concepts, but how and why the steps are necessary. read more

I've been renewing my CPR (BLS for HC providers) for years, and I keep coming back every two years. I appreciate the text reminders, as well as the discount offered for return customers! The classes are fun, fast & convenient. They offer online, hybrid and in-person options. I was going to do the hybrid option except I'm sick of computers/remote software so I opted for in person class instead! I'll be back in 2025 for sure! ET also offer ACLS, PALS, Obstetrics, as well as other classes for nurses, paramedics and allied professionals. read more

Super easy and friendly! Did the one stop skills after the online BLS portion. Highly recommend

I have taken ETS for my BLS provider recertification several times with mostly great experiences with the instructors on 09/17/2022 and 05/19/2018. I also recommend the basic ECG course and Pharm pre-course. I have also bough CPR masks from this Oceanside location as well as BLS/ACLS books which I can't remember if it is part of the package. I know I needed the updated BLS provider handbook at my last in person BLS renewal on 09/17/2022. I never did get the chance to complete the PALS course with ETS due to my crazy workload during the pandemic. Luckily they honored my deposit to be applied to another course which was the last BLS renewal. My recent BLS 1 stop station w/ online access experience at the Murrieta was terrible. I completed the online course work beforehand, instructions to download and submit certificate of completion before performing the skills portion was not true as detailed in the email instructions. These things stress you out when you sign up on a Friday, complete on Saturday, and have a skills appointment Monday morning. Please update the information in the email ETS. Then on Monday I drive from San Bernardino to Murrieta to a cluttered small storage room where I am supposed to complete the BLS skills portion. First, the wifi was down. I called Admin and their only solution was for them to reschedule for another date, that wasn't an option for me. I attempted to restart the laptop as instructed with no luck with wifi connectivity. Then I had to go around the building on my own accord and ask the different businesses in the building to assist me with restarting the building internet or provide me with temporary access to their wifi!! I was lucky that a nightingale representative helped me out by providing me with their private wifi and then I was able to complete the BLS skills which wasn't the best instruction and not the best directions to perform the skills. I didn't leave afterwards feeling that I brushed up on my CPR skills like with past experiences. On top of that I personally had to move around their crap to be able to perform the infant CPR. Whoever is responsible for setting up this room for students should be demoted, replaced, or fired. This experience was substandard and I do not recommend it for the price of $89?? The BLS renewal used to be half the price, in person with superior instruction, and an overall great experience. Furthermore, I also retook my expired ACLS with Ahmed Jaffer on 10/21/2019 in Oceanside and he was an overall great instructor. However, he should keep his lame "miner" jokes to a minimum (we all know he doesn't get laid enough at home by his wife). Sure, entertain the students but don't degrade the lone male student to make the rest of the female students laugh to pump your little ego up you goof ball. I will not be returning to ETS, you lost a loyal customer. That is all. read more

Top notch customer service! I reserved to take the ACLS course a certain day, but it was after hours and I was unable to find the link in my email. John, the owner of this amazing company, went out of his way to call me in the middle of the night to send me the links! Generally the links are sent upon registration but for some reason, I didn't have it. I highly recommend this company for ACLS & BLS. Learned a lot! They have an amazing staff who goes above and beyond! read more

I've done a few bls/Acls renewal coarses here. All times have been wonderful, the instructors are great and extremely knowledgeable. It's easy to set up a class online and the staff is pretty flexible with any changes you might have. Everything is organized very well and classes are to the point. There's also a lot of different options for in class/online/hybrid that makes it easy for someone with a busy schedule. Will come back again when I need to renew! read more

I got my ACLS certification with Patrick today and it was a blast - He did a great job of systematically going through all the content and making sure we understood before moving into the mock code & testing section. Patrick made it a educational and fun experience & I will be coming back for my PALS and to renew my BLS when it is time. read more

Our company required us to take a Basic Life Support class and I'm glad I found Express Training Solutions! Our instructor was great and the course was well paced. We had a good mix of hands-on training, videos, and lectures. Each person had their own adult- and infant-sized dummies to work with. Normally, there would be more group exercises but because of COVID, they managed to come up with a system where you learn how to do multi-person rescues without actually having to practice in a group. I'll be sure to come back every two years when I have to renew my certification. read more

Definitely recommend their team! They were well diverse and patient while training our staff at SOS Anytime Restoration. Thank you for the CPR and First aid training! read more

I'm glad I came here for my BLS recertification! They have a great class schedule that can accommodate most people. I paid $50 for the class and $17 for the (optional) book. I started class at 9:30am and we finished up around noon. It was only 3 students and the instructor. My instructor Wade was really cool, friendly, and informative. The overall business was really nice and it's cool that they sell CPR accessories and they provide complimentary water and coffee. Everyone else seemed friendly although I didn't interact with anyone outside my class. Overall, I definitely recommend this place. read more

Best BLS class I had so far. Fun, informative, and open to questions. Highly recommend checking them out!

This was the very first time using Express Training for my healthcare certifications, specifically for my ACLS cert. and I was extremely happy with how the class was taught. I had Chris as the primary instructor. I haven't had such a talented and proficient instructor since my undergrad days at UCSD. He was organized, extremely knowledgable and was able to keep everyone engaged throughout the entire course. He was very adept at creating thought provoking and highly relevant scenarios for us to navigate. I was unsure of how to handle the "Megacode Simulations" but by the end of it I was actually wanting to do more. They were a bit daunting at first but Chris provides a very approachable and friendly environment that enables you to learn with each answer/response. His vast knowledge base and experience makes it such an incredible learning experience. I learned so much from both watching and participating in this. He was able to dynamically create various situations in a very relevant manner that made you actively think in a logical progression while utilizing the ACLS Algorithms. IMO this was one of best aspects of taking this class with him. Overall, the class was a success. I feel better and more prepared than before and I now have a renewed sense of confidence that I can begin to handle the obstacles that come with being a Tele RN. That said, I passed the exam with 94%. I will absolutely be using Training Express again for my next certification and/or renewal. read more

I really enjoyed taking the in person BLS class with Express Training Solutions! The course was easy in my opinion, but the staff made sure to cover all topics as well as refresh our memory in between lessons and training. Staff encourages engagement which helps ALOT. As well as being opened to questions and concerns. The course was fun! The staff members are all VERY NICE w/a great sense of humor. I will definitely be coming back to Express Training Solutions for future training purposes when needed! read more

I used Express Training for my BLS course, which I unfortunately let expire before renewing. The class moved along smoothly and efficiently, and the instructor was clear and concise with our hands-on practice. They equip you well for the quiz that is extremely straight-forward. There was plenty of parking around the building, and it wasn't too difficult to find. read more

Awesome is all I can say.... Excellent and very funny instructors... I chose this place to enrich my young son's educational interest in the medical field. I have a Doogie Houser MD on my hands... I am happy to say that this place met our expectations for higher learning. We took the ECG class (I had to come) Jason the instructor was very accommodating to my son's medical interest and guided us to other enriching future classes to take as well as encouraged us to keep learning! This facility is clean and everyone is very nice! They also offer coffee and tea complimentary. The average class consists of surgeons, nurses, nurse assistants and EMS professionals... This place is legit read more

I was really dreading taking this long BLS CPR class knowing it was a 3 hour course! But let me tell you, PATRICK was an amazing instructor! He made everything so fun & lots of laughs, but most importantly provided so much information, now I really am confident in administrating CPR on anyone! Enjoyed this course so much thanks to Patrick. I will be back to renew& would recommend to others! read more

Thanks Ahmed for making the initial ACLS class tolerable... and may I even say... fun. Our class of 6 on a Sunday was great. The whole process to book the class was easy and Ahmed made the class fun by coming up with crazy scenarios (I saved Matt Damon from various life threatening situations on a space ship). He was a great instructor in that he kept everything easy to understand and at a good pace. The class didn't drag on and on and I learned a lot! I loved that the facility had ample parking and that everything was clean. They have a nice snack bar for $1 a piece if you feel like you need a little something something. Microwave and fridge available if you bring a lunch. Free coffee and hot teas! Overall I was very impressed and will take future certifications again here! read more

My instructor was amazing! He was so thorough and he was so full of energy.
