I took this class as a requirement for my job and wasn't supremely looking forward to it, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Our instructor was Chris Peters who was very energetic and lively but also had a real sense of experience around him. He allowed lots of opportunities for questions and answered each with ease. He also explained the medical and reasons behind each activity which was really helpful. He came über prepared with a speaker and clip on mic and had all the supplies. He even took the AED we have on campus and showed us exactly how to use ours and the test AEDs, that was a nice touch. We also watched videos but he went into each video with a discussions no explanation after the video. I really appreciated his canter and commitment to saving lives. read more

Have had Chris as a trainer for the last three years for both cpr and first aid. As a previous red cross trainer myself I can say his class was top notch, entertaining and extremely educational. With his firefighter background he has seen it all and is able to give real life examples to some scenarios that may happen. I know it's 2021 and I have been sheltering in place for a bit to long but attending his class might have been one of my highlights this year. Chris has a great sense of humor. read more

Every two years educators take a CPR accreditation ; we have to and we are a difficult crowd: it is always scheduled when we are at the height of prepping for our student returning to school , usually after 3 days of full on heavy meetings and teachers are just bad listeners. Well, Life Savers CPR trainer passed all those hurdles seamlessly by being timely, engaging, smart, funny and to the point. The course is optimized and a balanced between listening watching doing. Repetitive enough so when it will come to the recall process in a emergency situation we will have clarity. read more

I am not going to lie. Yesterday our school was scheduled for our CPR class and I was so not looking forward to it. Our classes are usually us listening and following directions from a teacher that is direct and to the point. Yes, we all want to get the correct information and move on. But yesterday's class was not only informative but fun! Our teacher Chris Peters was engaging and funny whilst teaching us the importance of CPR and safety. I left there happy and still energized to finish up some prep work for school. Thank you Chris! I definitely will not forget how funny you are and hope you stay safe with everything going around us right now. I would have given you 10 golden stars if I could have! read more

Great instructor and course. Great mix of humor, content and information, while checking for our mastery of the life saving steps. Did this as part of a big group and it was done well. Highly recommended. read more

Took this course as I work at a school and it was very helpful to brush up on my CPR skills after not working as a lifeguard for a few years. Chris and his assistants kept a lively pace and led an interesting course; he always paused for questions and had a wealth of knowledge and personal firsthand experience. I'd recommend this course to anyone! read more

Our instructor was Valonda and she did a great job. This was our first onsite training since Covid started. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. She also brought some humor to keep the class engaged. She discussed what the recommendations were for different areas that have changed, from the video, as a result of COVID. We have used LifeSaver for a couple years and you can never go wrong with their instructors and knowledge. read more

Wow - next level. Our school has Chris, an Oakland Fire person conduct our class and he was the best I've ever had. I've gone through cpr/first air probably 20(?) times and this was the best. Solid mix of real stories, humor, and covering all of the curriculum. read more

He deftly handled all questions and left me feeling prepared if I need to help my colleagues, the high school students I teach, or my own small children. read more

Dear Chris, You did a fabulous job of reinforcing the few video segments with anecdotes from your experience. The hands-on bandaging wounds and CPR and AED (defribillator) instruction were fabulous in that we were able to practice, and practice again those lifesaving procedures. No time was wasted in our instruction. You're a lively, informed, compelling speaker, AND, you answered all our questions concisely and thoroughly. Thank you, thank you for a great course. Warmly, Donal and Brenda Brown Corte Madera read more

Anyone who has taken CPR knows that there is a lot to learn, or relearn, and it takes about 4 hours. Chris makes it easy to process and retain the information and keeps the session lively and engaging. He has the perfect personality for his job! The time goes quickly and is most informative! read more

I've been taking these classes continuously since I starting my nannying business at 13. This was easily one of the most enjoyable. Our instructor was hilarious (James) and laid back, using sly humor to keep us engaged for the entire 6 hour course. I appreciated how he didn't keep us any longer than he had to, either. The pace of the class never dragged. I'm really glad this class was offered through my workplace, and I hope I get to use them again in two years. read more

Awesome training as I attended this class with my company (FLY). Asked the trainer specific questions after class and instructor was so nice and informative. TOO FUNNY and instructor made class fun to learn yet serious enough to learn instruction throughly. Thank you Chris Peters. read more

I teach at a school where we are re-certified every two years for CPR/First Aid training. We have had LifeSaver CPR come each time, and they are wonderful. In particular, the founder Chris has led our sessions, and he is organized, punctual, and funny. This last quality is important: We are teachers, and the training is often at the end of the day during a busy week of meetings. His quick humor drives the training forward and keeps us engaged and enjoying what we're learning, as serious as it is. Looking forward to our next training in two years! read more

Chris every year does a fabulous job of keeping us up to date and informed. Each time I feel more confident because of him. He is always direct yet calm. Great sense of humor. read more

Chris came to our school to do the training and somehow made a morning of CPR, AED, First Aid training fun and entertaining.

Made learning something that could be seen as boring or stressful very interactive and a truly positive experience. Thank you!

The former fire/EMT instructor was professional with a little humor thrown in when appropriate, kept the class moving but not rushed, made sure all students were keeping up, and verified that each student's performance was correct. I've always taken Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid, but I liked this better because he used his real world experiences perfectly, which resulted in a very easy delivery while thoroughly educating the students. read more
