Renewed my BLS CPR with Kristie today. She was honestly amazing, super knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole process really engaging. She explained everything clearly. Highly recommend her if anyones looking to renew or get certified. read more

Really great instructor! She answered all my questions and I now feel confident in performing CPR.

Wonderful, In-Home CPR/First Aid Class! I'm having a baby this spring and wanted to do CPR/Aid training with my family. I had heard good things from a friend about Pulse Check CPR and it sounded like just what we needed. For groups of 3 or more, they will do an in-home training for infant, child and adult CPR and first aid. Plus, the price is very reasonable! Jeremy was our instructor (and I believe the biz owner). He was personable and very well-informed. He also handled my rowdy family very well--let us have fun, but kept us on track. I would highly recommend getting a family and friends CPR/first aid class through Pulse Check CPR. I believe he also does CPR certification classes. read more

Our instructor Dan was awesome, professional, and knowledgeable. For a group of soon to be teachers after teaching all day, Dan was relaxing and reassuring of our questions. I highly recommend Pulse Check CPR for all you CPR and First Aid needs. If you have enough people ( 5+) getting certified, then they are willing to come to you. read more

I usually don't review these kind of things, but I have to say it was super easy to sign up for their near-daily classes. I just logged onto their website the day before and signed up. It was reasonably priced $70 which includes the book, the test, the instruction and your printed card at the end of the course. Easy to find, easy to park, straight forward information. I did not try the telephone line, but I did hear a few classmate complain they didn't get to talk with anyone prior to class. Jeremy was my instructor too. It was very professional, informative, threw in a couple jokes to get people to pay attention- but did not make it cheesy. He did a great job about making sure people's questions were answered. He gave some good real-life scenarios. It was a long class 6:30 to 10pm but at least you only need re-certification every two years. There's single serving gourmet coffee, tea, water and snacks. The back looked like a kids' photo studio. Something with the floor just being polished - the place smelled super clean (like a cleaning agent) which was ok, but got overwhelming as the class wore on (light headache, can't be great breathing that stuff in for so long.) Otherwise, I would have to say the convenience of this class was the best. read more

The class itself was fine, the instructor Jeremy was great, good mix of professional, and knowledgeable yet digestible. They advertise that you'll be there til 1p, but I was done with the ~40 question text in a shorter time and I walked out around noon. There was a question that was badly (misleading) worded, he admitted himself, and apparently that's the one everyone tends to get wrong, but... they never bother to fix it. Prepaid with their Paypal system, not a problem. You will NOT walk away with the CPR certification, they give you a paper that says you completed it and you're told to wait a week to get the card in the mail. I didn't get it until a month later. During which I both emailed and called repeatedly and never got a response, but luckily the envelope magically appeared a month later. That was really irritating and unprofessional. Other than that the program was fine and did what it needed to do. read more

Jeremy is great. Very knowledgeable and relatable. You can tell that Jeremy knows what he is talking about. Apparently he's been teaching these classes for over 12 years. Very nice office and environment. Snacks and coffee are a nice touch. Near food and across from the theater. read more

See all

Is this company even in business still? I tried contacting several times to schedule a class, leaving voice messages and nobody bothers to call me back. I guess either they're out of business or they don't want business. I end up going to a place in Alameda for my CPR certificate, a little further but they respond right away, they even make a class just for me because I couldn't make it to their regular time. Now that's a good company, LifeSavers CPR. read more

I just got my CPR/AED certification from Pulse Check CPR. Jeremy was an excellent teacher. He was professional, straight forward but not at all dry. The class was very informative, easy to follow and best of all, not boring. Even though you know you "really should" get your certification it's not something most people get excited about spending their saturday morning or precious evening hours doing. That said, the class went fast yet I learned a lot, so go get certified! You know you really should! I definitely feel more empowered knowing that I won't be completely helpless in the event of an emergency. read more

Very interesting class! Jeremy was an excellent teacher: knowledgeable ,unswerving all questions. I will definitely will back in 2 years again for renewal. Thank you Jeremy. read more

I had a very bad experience with this place. I made a reservation online for $70 for a Saturday class. I showed up bright and early only to wait over an hour for an instructor that never came. I called every number they had on their website and left multiple messages. I got no response. I continued to call well into the week and couldn't get anyone on the phone or get anyone to call me back. I had the same thing happen when I emailed them. Pulse Check CPR is totally unprofessional. This place might have been good in the past but now it's just a scam. read more

I registered online, received a confirmation, showed up for the class on a Saturday AM, paid $70, received a temporary certification after the class. It was that easy! The class was great and interactive, instructor was professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Pulse Check CPR. read more

The class ended just a few hours ago and it was great. Jeremy did an awesome job of making sure all the points were clear and easy to understand. Parking is free and there's coffee available too! Class ended on time too. I definitely recommend this place for anyone who needs to renew their cert or for any newbies. Thank you, Jeremy! read more

I am a nurse and needed to complete CPR certification pretty quickly. I was so excited to find an available course so close to home. The excitement rapidly diminished when I received absolutely NO reply to my e'mail or voice mail inquiries regarding class registration. It has been now more than a week and still no reply. I have to agree with an earlier review that this company is either out of business or doesn't want new customers. I took that reviewer's recommendation and went through LifeSavers CPR course -- very professional and almost immediately responsive -- and one of the best re-certification courses I've ever taken in more than 30 years of experience. If you are still considering Pulse Check, run away and look into LifeSavers CPR... really. read more

I wanted to agree with the other reviews in terms of the instructor (engaging), location - at least they had a picture / image of someone doing CPR so I could find it otherwise it's just a brown building with "1072" outside of it. Parking on the street. He offers coffee (thank you for that!!) As a brand new person to CPR training, I found the video overwhelming at first. I even had to get up to ask him if I was in the right cert class. But it all came together at the end, you just have to take notes and pay attention since he does hand out a quiz at the end so he can gauge your understanding. Mostly the reason I'm writing this post is because for those of you who expect the certification the same day - it does not happen. You now get "e-cards" sent through your email. He said to allow 3-4 business days. Unfortunately he got sick and I had a test I had to take a few days later so I had to continually ask him to send out the card. It was extra stress on what was already a stressful time for me. I couldn't take the test without the card. So just a warning, allow ample time to receive this card. The instructor should probably revise that time estimate accordingly on his website. Also, as for any confirmation of payment or enrollment, you won't get it. Just show up to the class and have proof of payment if necessary (you get an email receipt). read more
