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.

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!

As a non nursing medical professional I am not required to have an ACLS cert, but I felt passionately that myself and others that work in hospitals should be aware of how Advanced Life Support works and what general concepts are covered beyond BLS. I will make it a routine to repeat the ACLS class in the years to come because they did such a great job at STAR to put students in simulations that you will actually encounter in healthcare. A big thank you to Patrick for being so knowledgeable, engaging, and kind in the class. Also thank you to Amber for being so communicative with scheduling and any questions I had during enrollment. This team truly just want health care workers- and beyond- to have the knowledge on how to save peoples lives. Thanks again! John

Besides…read morethat fact, I have to say Anita and Dave are concise, thorough, friendly teachers that really want you to know all the basic skills while delivering them in such a way that it'll stick. They have a more fast-paced, hands-on approach - however, this works since Anita wants you to approach a variety of real-life situations using critical thinking. The class was held in their own private residence condo in Coronado, and parking was a pain (then again, it was Coronado). Overall, I would definitely recommend Anita and Dave for their thoroughness and personable natures. I think this is the first time all of the first aid and CPR content stuck in my head without having to watch videos or do vast amounts of paperwork. Plus, you get your cards from the American Heart Association right after class!

He gives live feedback on your performance, and offer suggestions on how to improve/modify your technique. It's also a same day certification, which means the certificate is available within 5-15 minutes after the class. Highly recommend if you're looking into taking a BLS/First Aid courses!

I graduated from one of the top universities in America, and I can confidently say that Spencer is better than nearly all of the professors there. Seldom can you find a teacher who is overflowing with knowledge, is able to convey that knowledge concisely and effectively, and manages to not display an ounce of hubris. Not only is he a walking EMS encyclopedia, he genuinely cares for his students. He wants everyone to succeed, and it shows in both the way he teaches the class and how he treats his students. His lax and understanding nature creates a more comfortable environment that fosters growth and learning. After graduating from the class, I feel fully prepared for the NREMT. But more than just an EMT class, I feel that I have learned an incredible amount of practical knowledge that I can utilize for the rest of my career in medicine. For more of the logistical stuff, I took the 5 week full-time course. It's a lot, but it's manageable--especially if you have a background in science. I was able to score above average on all the exams by basically just listening to Spencer's lectures. I PERSONALLY did not feel the need to read the book or go over the PowerPoint slides, but they are both great resources for additional help. I think the fact that I was able to do well in the class simply based on Spencer's lectures is more a reflection on his ability than mine. Random tips: -There is no wifi. So if you want to be connected to the internet, consider getting a Wifi hotspot for a month if you don't have it already -There's a Keurig machine -Don't worry too much about the uniform. You need it before your ride alongs that are scheduled usually 2-5 weeks after the beginning of the course. Of course, you will look goofy if you are the only one not wearing the uniform during class, but don't worry too much if you don't have it prepared by the first day of class -You need to print a lot of things. Just be aware of this and prepare accordingly. -I highly recommend a restaurant called "Tadian". It is super close by, inexpensive, and tasty with great customer service.
