This class went over first aid and CPR, mainly the basics given a certian situation. Since all situations will be different being able to recognize some signs we're helpful. The instructor Tricia was expressive and engaging, the 4 hour class flew by quickly with an information dump of how-tos, both in video format and with partner demonstrations. There were room for questions after each section and each answer was informative. Luckily they provide a take home manual that summarizes the slides you'll be going through if you forget. Bring snacks and drinks (closed tops/bottles), as you'll get breaks in between, though they do offer some for sale. Overall great class and definitely recommend it either for a first time, refrehser or if you need the most basic form of certification.

A special thank-you to Jordan, who was very professional and did an outstanding job teaching the material.

The communication is horrible unless it's about making payments to them. The owner is hard to get ahold of and never answers. Only time she shows up is to collect money. They never seemed prepared and kept forgetting things like informing us where our clinicals would be which left the students scrambling. On our first day of school everyone was told a different start time which left us outside waiting for hours. When we tried to reach out there was no answer. Also there was no light in our bathroom for about 2 1/2 weeks. Our clinical instructor was aggressive and doesn't understand physical boundaries. If I could give 0 stars I would.

If you are signing up because you think it takes 22 days then please go to a different program. This school makes you take the program and wait an additional 3 weeks for the certificate. They are very rude. The teachers are great but the staff is horrible. Cecilia is the only administrator and has horrible communication. I have my certificate but 6 other students in my class are still waiting for responses. They made a student retake her clinicals because she forgot to turn in a physical. The school should be reported to the state for allowing students to take clinicals without proper documentation..a few students were also in high school and had to miss days for that and the school is making them wait 6 weeks to redo 1 or 2 days. It's actually surprising they are even open. On top of that I dare you to call them. The response rate is 1-2 weeks. I'm in the middle of reporting them to state and the BBB because I genuinely feel sick for the other students who are the mercy of the school since they don't give refunds. And if you think you can complain to TUBA the owner, WRONG. She's worse. She calls the students back and is so rude to them, how dare they waste her time. Anyways pay the extra money to go to another school like Eastlake medical college. Eastlake gives you your certificate and schedule your exams within 2 weeks of graduation. San Diego medical college makes you wait 3 weeks for the certificate and then you have to sign up for exams which can take 2 weeks. Dont confuse the Eastlake branch of San Diego medical college with Eastlake medical college. They are two different school.

At one point, I tried to ask her a question about whether the breathing part actually delivers enough oxygen, but her answer was for a different question. I felt like she didn't take the time to listen to what I was asking. The CPR training was reasonable, but the First-Aid part was barely addressed. I recently completed a NOLS/WMS Wilderness First-Aid course through REI, and I felt like I learned so much there. And while being in the wilderness may be a significant difference in circumstances, the injuries are not. Blisters, heat-exhaustion, impalements, etc. can all happen anywhere, especially with children. But in the end they were quick to respond to my email, and I got my certification in less than 2 hours, on a holiday weekend no less, so I guess I should be happy with that. I'm just not someone who's looking for an 'easy A'. It's kind of sad, because many of the students that come here are working for schools or the YMCA, and they're supposedly the ones trained to handle your children in emergency situations.

Went to the school to file a complaint against a employee for texting me to "grow up" because i…read morehung up on him since i was at work. Arrived at the school and before i could put a name to the face he actually greeted me and was cool but once i stated my name and told him it was me you were texting that he was super unprofessional and he should not talk to people/future students that way if i answer fine if not im busy and BUDDY WAS READY TO FIGHT. I said i need to talk to a higher up to file a complaint and he said he was the highest in the building and that we can talk. As we are conversating he became more agitated and started stepping up to me and telling me to be a "man" and then guided me to a empty classroom to talk behind closed doors. I said ABSOLUTELY NOT with the way he has been aggressive and essentially baiting me into an altercation. I stated i wanted a 3rd party there due to the tense situation he was creating. He then guided me to the welding area and pulled the welding teacher aside infront of students and started again saying be a man and say what you have to say and again i said i need someone thats in a high position i need to do some type of formal complaint and know its been acknowledged. Whole time the man was swaying back and forth belittling me and just asking for a fight which was not my intentions at all. The welding teacher was completely clueless and wasnt understanding what was even going on. At that point i just asked who can hell me file a complaing because this guy is extremely upset and wanting a altercation and i was directed to an office. In thay office a nice lady helped me and immediately stood up when she heard what i was trying to explain. Whole time the man was there being aggressive and still approaching me trying to coax me into doing something. The lady noticed that and quickly got me the Director of Operations even tho the man lied and said hes the highest in the building. As i was waiting the man and i were going back and forth and bickering and ultimately just displays his unprofessionalism and lack of control. He denied it was him that texted me even though he answered when i called the number with the unprofessional text message, he lied saying i came in making noise when he greeted me and i simply asked if he was who i think he is, he lied saying i went to the welding area disturbing them when he guided me there. All that for a simple text he should not have sent but he thought it was okay to do that. Never did i go with intentions for an altercation. I felt if he felt like he can just send a text like that as an employee to a possible student he clearly doesnt respect people as he should especially being in the front greeting people onna daily. I was disrespected and be littled being called less than a man and out of my name but none of it bothered me as i am confident in myself as a man, father and veteran. Moral of the story if you lose your temper as a employee and attempt to coax someone into fighting in your workplace behind closed doors theres no space for you in that establishment at all. I spoke to the director and followed the instructions he gave me to move forward and i have also submitted a complaint with BPPE. I have never been put in this situation before so i will file with whoever and wherever because this was unnecessary and someone could have been hurt or arrested.
