I've been coming here for over 10years and it's the best way to get BLS and ACLS certification. Informative, but not stressful.

Been going to Mark's Pro-CPR for over a decade. Always learning what the newest concepts and technique. It's a very safe and friendly environment to learn. Afterwards you will feel ready to resuscitate a person when needed. Great price and lots of parking. read more

Mark is knowledgeable and makes ACLS /BLS fun. Lots of dates available so no problem trying to fit it in. I have been going there for many many years. read more

I have been going there for years. Amazing place! Mark is the best! Super knowledgeable! I love to go there!

Very detailed for a reasonable price. CPR Certification and cards come via email and mail. The cards came in the mail on time. read more

Great place to do CPR class! My husband and I have been renewing our BLS classes here for a few years now. The classes have always been informative and helpful. read more

The instracter was very responsive to my questions via email even before the course began, and the training was practical, providing essential information and techniques. I'll definitely go back in 2 years! read more

Had my first CPR class done here at a nice location in Long Beach. Close to the CSULB campus for any students requiring CPR classes. I highly recommend getting your training done here for an affordable price and a relaxed teaching environment. read more

Mark's classes seem to almost always run smooth and efficient. He has a lot of knowledge to share and is an experienced teacher. Cash only.

Renewed my BLS here and loved it! The registration process can be confusing at first, but is actually very straightforward. I used the contact form on their website, included the course and date I wanted to attend, and received a confirmation email within the hour. Parking was very easy to find along the street right outside the building. Class sizes were capped to allow for proper distancing. The class itself was stress-free, entertaining, and easy to follow along. Loved how the instructor incorporated his own personal experiences and gave us some extra tips. I would highly recommend! read more

Mark and Kathy are the very best! They make it fun and of course interactive. They have the latest data and techniques and give you more than just the minimum training. Part of my job is safety and wellness. I needed to get over 100 people certified within a two month period. Mark and Kathy worked their magic and got it done without any trouble. They are phenomenal! Love Them Both! read more

BEST ACLS, PALS, AND CPR instruction ever! Mark and Kathy are the best. You will always learn something new. Totally worth every penny.

I highly recommend pro-cpr. I love how Mark teaches the class. He is very enthusiastic, and you can tell he loves what he does.

This is my favorite location to have cpr classes over the years. It's a wonderful, relaxed environment to review skills and get the latest updates. I love how Mark applies the information to realistic scenarios that I find so helpful to retain the information. Thank you Mark and Kathy for making cpr recertification and other skills classes that I've taken with over the years so pleasant! You are awesome!! read more

I took a BLS class with Mark today in preparation for nursing school, and the class was awesome and super informative! Usually CPR/BLS classes can be a little intimidating (especially if you're not in the medical field or new to it), but Mark made the class super accessible and promoted a friendly environment. The classroom was easy to find, the CPR manikins were clean, and the class was honestly fun! The time flew by because Mark made the class engaging and interesting. He is an excellent and very approachable instructor. I definitely learned a lot about CPR/BLS for adults, children, and infants. I highly recommend PRO-CPR to anyone! read more

I took the basic cpr class Dec 2021. They used to give us our cpr cards at the end of class. This time I was told they will email them. I've gone to pro cpr for over 20 years no issues at all. They have great classes. But I was on a time crunch moving 500 miles away. I looked every day for a email. After a week I called left messages and emailed. No reply. It's now Feb 8th, 2022. It looks like I'll need to take another cpr class for my employer. That's my only complaint in the last 20 yrs. read more

Terrible email communication at Long Beach location. Misunderstandings, unclear instructions, instructor was a no- show . Double check that they understand your needs and double check on their needs and requirements day before showing up for any appointment. read more

I've been to plenty of CPR Classes but nothing comes close to this one. Mark the instructor made this experience so awesome. He knows what he's talking about and he teaches so effortlessly. Usually I'm ready to go home after the first hour but I was having so much fun. I def would recommend this place to any nurse or person looking to get their CPR card. Thanks Mark read more

I've renewed my CPR certification every 2 years for decades, so I've seen a variety of different approaches to teaching the same dry subject. I appreciated that the instructor did not rely on videos for teaching CPR (less than 10 minutes of the three hour class was spent watching a video). He covered each area, (adult, child and infant CPR plus choking) very thoroughly. He had good pacing and voice modulation which allowed him to repeat himself frequently to reinforce the concepts without appearing to drone on and on. The CPR manikins and other equipment were up-to-date and The setting was comfortable enough. Hopefully I'll never need to utilize what I learned in that class, but if I do I think I will recall it better than I would have with some of the other classes where the material is presented by video and not so well reinforced. read more

Much faster with new covid rules. Shorter time. The o f guy is great at keeping to essentis

It's always a good thing to be CPR(BLS) certified but somehow I can never find the time to get certified until the last minute. PRO-CPR has ample availibility of classes while maintaining proper COVID protocols. Mark is very knowledgable and presents in a manner that is concise and easy to retain the information. When my 2 year certification expires, I will definitely return to PRO-CPR and I recommend then highly for anyone looking for CPR cerification. read more

I was really nervous about taking this class by myself. The instructor was fabulous, I enjoyed the class and highly recommend it.. read more

The BEST!! Highly recommended. I have taken many ACLS/PALS and BLS. This by far was the best! Very good teaching! I am sure Marks teachings and experience has saved SO many peoples lives. read more

Whether you're a newbie to CPR or a seasoned professional, Mark offers a really fun and educational learning environment. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in health care in addition to a great sense of humor. I highly recommend his classes! read more

Been coming here for ACLS and BLS since 1997. Love there techniques and teaching. The husband and wife team are two for one a RN and EMT. The education is engaging and makes the time fly. They also offered the both ACLS and BLS in the same day. It's more proficient to be able to do the pre-study then the in person teaching. I alway feel like I learned someone new every time. read more

Just completed my BLS CPR in person class today and like always it's a pleasure. Mark is an amazing instructor, has all the tools necessary for this class. He is very informative and hands on during your whole leaning process. I've been attending his class for almost 8 years now and never fails. It's a fun class and the instructor Mark is great! I definitely recommend this school. read more

The most affordable, interactive, and efficient CPR class you'll ever take! Vital things to know: -$40 flat fee for first timers and renewals. CASH ONLY. -Class is only 3.5 hours long. -Certification covers basic life support (BLS) for adults, children, and infants. It's optimal for healthcare providers and is good for two years. -Come to class ON TIME or else you'll be turned away. -Located on the 5th floor of the Cambrian Homecare building, Room 509. -Although a 25 question multiple choice test is given at the end, it's super easy because the instructor drills the answers into your mind as he/she teaches. Tests are taken in a group too. You'll spend at most, 3 minutes watching videos and the rest of the time, you'll be learning by doing, with a partner or group. First, go on this website and find a class date that is conducive to your schedule: http://procpr.wix.com/main2#!bls/c1p4j Then email info@pro-cpr.com to reserve a spot in the class. They'll respond quickly and confirm your reservation. The fee is paid at the end of the course. ----- Conclusion: Pat, the instructor has a breviloquent, stern, and no-nonsense teaching style which can be intimidating at first, but you'll later recognize that this hands-on teaching method is meant to inform so YOU can perform. At classes end, you'll have the confidence to work out in the field or in a clinical group setting, guaranteed. Extra Notes: -CASH ONLY -ACLS class is $145. BLS only $40. -While there's an option to renew your CPR certification online, it costs more ($58) and you'll eventually have to come in and take a clinical test anyway--just sacrifice 3.5 hours and pay less to get re-certified. -Free parking adjacent to the Cambrian Homecare building. -Clean restrooms that require a key read more

PRO-CPR - Adult Education Near Me - Long Beach, California

This place is legit, ignore posts that say otherwise. This is just a really small business, the person who owns it obviously has other stuff or jobs on their plate so they cannot answer every call and email every time. And my experience was a return email right away, she was super helpful and the whole experience was amazing. I did the hybrid version where you do an online portion then go in person for the hard skills review/test. You use the actual dummies adult, child and infant. The whole thing was easy to do as long as you read everything in the online class. I'm so glad this business exists. And people should chill out and wait for a response instead of demand. read more

Always a great class that meets the requirements and is enjoyable and retainable information. Thanks PRO CPR for always having classes available! read more

I highly recommend this place. The way Mark simplifies ACLS/BLS has made it easier for me to understand the algorithms. Also, Mark is very knowledgeable and has a a strong passion for his work, he knows how to take away the stress from learning. read more

Totally recommend this class! Haven't taken a CPR class in awhile. It was very informative and I actually enjoyed it. More hands on training which is great for me since I learn faster through demonstration and practice. It's the cheapest CPR class I found in my area. $40 (cash only) isn't bad at all. Will definitely come back here to renew my CPR in 2 years! read more

I've been coming to Pro CPR for my PALS & ACLS recerts for quite some time. Mark is a great instructor! His experiences bring so much to the learning experience. I've recently had to renew both again during this whole COVID-19 situation and was worried about how the class setup and size would be. Everything was great, the class size was kept to 5-6 people and we were distanced inside the classroom. We all had masks on. Mark had his alcohol spray bottle to keep us sanitized in between touching manikins and the equipment. Definitely recommend them!! read more

This is a very convenient way for me fulfill my ACLS. It's close to home, beautiful view of Long Beach from the classroom and easy parking. The instructor is thorough and makes the class fun. The registration process is odd, but I've never had any problems signing up for a class. read more

Just finished this year's ACLS Re-Cert Class & PASSED!!! Stress-free & concise!!! Love you, Mark...you're the BEST This is the ONLY PLACE to go if you need 1st Time Certification or Re-cert, believe me 11/2019 Here I am again. I have been coming to Mark & Kathy since '97. Will NEVER go anywhere else for my ACLS/BLS Recerts‼ Just plz don't retire before I do-Promise‼ read more

Mark was so friendly and enthusiastic and even told some stories about times when he has given CPR. The class was very hands on and quite fun. I highly recommend coming here to get your CPR certificate! read more

I've been going here for several years now. I had to pay out of my pocket to come here instead of one offered at my work. I started coming here because it's a) close to home, b) convenient class scheduling c) if you need bls too, stay a little after class to review and get your cards the same day! It's worth it. Mark makes the class interesting while learning. He's experienced and knows what he's talking about. Now my job says we can only go to the one offered at work which I think is BS. read more

GREAT INSTRUCTORS AND GREAT CLASS!! If you're looking to get or renew your cpr and first aid card, on a budget, and fastest way to get it, this is the place to go to!! Seriously I've researched other places to renew my cpr and first aid, and all were just way too, and Had class sessions weekly. But here at PRO-CPR, You're there in and out with learning so much material. First you need to register by going on the website and you can see what days they have classes and just email them on what day you would like to attend since class fills up. First time there I came for BLS CPR, and Patrick was so helpful! He was on point about every instructions and very hands on with the class. The class was so fun! After he was done with his teaching we took the test and I passed the test with flying colors. And that alone only cost my $40 Second visit, I came to get my first aid card. There's 2 parts to get it, the online course ($28) which was easy and only took me about an hour to do it, then come in to take the skills check off test ($30) Again you have to email them when you want to come in. I came with my friend and we both spent about 15 minutes because there were just 3 people in class. (Of course after Mark went over first aid materials to refresher our minds) So literally were were just in and out. Btw Mark is so awesome!! FYI cash only don't forget about that guys!!! Fellow yelpers, this is the place to go!! I'm definitely coming back here! read more

I no need to look any further for my ACLS/BLS certifications now! I came here to do my ACLS certification since my card expired 4 years ago, my coworker recommended this place and read the great reviews here on Yelp and decided to try it out. This was my experience from beginning to end: The Planning: I was planning to go with a group so I had a lot of questions. I emailed Mark back and forth soooo many times. He was great at responding back quickly and very flexible with our work schedules since we all worked night shift in my group. Finding the Class: I used google maps and found the building with no problems. It's located in large building where there are multiple different businesses. There are multiple entrances to the building but the main entrance to get to the room is at the lobby where you take the elevators up to the 5th floor. Parking was not an issue for me, its located near a small park, residential area and theres a plaza right across the street with parking. Class in Session: The atmosphere was incredible for me and the others in the class to learn and ask questions and that was mainly because our instructor, Mark (who also has his wife who teaches also on different days). Mark welcomed each person who walked through the door with a friendly greeting and had each person sign in and write our email since the ACLS Card is now an ecard through American Heart Association. He had us begin by having each of us introduce ourselves and then he introduced himself. His experience as a nurse and his wife's background was very impressive! The class was so informative and had great acronyms and ways of remembering different rhythms and tips that I plan to use at the bedside. We did multiple mock codes with different situations, everyone was able to be hands on and practice using the medications, the defibrillator, and other equipment. What was great was he didn't make you feel intimidated or dumb if you were a little hesitant (even if he knew you have been a nurse for a while). At the end of the course an exam is given, but all the material was well reviewed by Mark and you will pass! This was well worth the money spent! You will come out of class full of confidence and knowledge! read more
