She is VERY thorough and ensures that you are up-to-date with the AHA guidelines. I can appreciate working with someone in the medical field, (She's a Registered Nurse) that can give you REAL-LIFE scenarios during the skills session. Ms. Williams made everyone feel comfortable and allowed ample time for each of us to practice our BLS skills! I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Williams' for initial and renewal CPR courses. She is a certified AHA instructor for BLS, ACLS, PALS, and NRP.

From the online class component to the in-person instruction - it was all very easy to complete. I called twice in the days after I registered and Edward was available to answer my questions each time. He even provides the completion certificate within 24 hours of completion, sometimes even same-day. The in-person training was very useful and made me feel good to get the hands-on component to feel more confident. I needed this training for a work application, but I'm so glad to know it for my friends, family and kids as well.

They brought all their supplies to my home and were extremely informative and helpful.

My sister recently had a baby so I felt like having the baby dummies was extremely beneficial, you don't want to be clueless when something like this happens in the real world.

My son recently attended EMT school at this location. We chose it because it was the closest to…read moreour home in Temecula. My son was doing well in the class up until the final. The final exam required 80% to pass and he had a 79%. Subsequently, they dropped him from the class. It seems that failing the final, regardless of previous class performance is an automatic drop. There is no re-take allowed. We accept responsibility for my son's failed performance but...I feel that there are some broader (very unusual) circumstances at play which future prospective students should be aware of. 1) My son's class started with somewhere around 33 students By the time of the final it had dropped to somewhere close to 14 Only 6 students passed the final as we understand it That is a sub-20% completion rate Which means that this school is equally stringent to the Navy SEALS BUD/s training? A quick search of Google shows that the average completion rate for EMT schools across CA is about 60-65%. Therefore, this 20% statistic is a red flag for me. 2) The school will not allow any immediate re-takes of the final. When you get dropped, they immediately send you emails on how you can pay another $1500 and re-take their entire course for your second shot at the final. But that is the only way. Proving that there is no moral objection to a re-take by the instructors. You just have to pay for the course again for the attempt. This policy also raises a red flag. 3) Further, I find this unusual given that the NREMT exam can be taken 3x before remedial instruction is required but this school's exam cannot. I also find this policy disheartening as not all students learn best in an academic setting or test best with timed exams. The fact that some students struggle with standardized testing but excel in practical application is a known phenomenon. Therefore, it seems rational to give at least 1 re-take attempt. Even in my days at USMC boot camp, recruits who failed the rifle qualification were given 1 re-take. This is another red flag for me. When I look at these policies...which I am sure were enumerated in whatever forms we signed at registration, as if that is an excuse for bad policy...I am flabbergasted. 1) This school (at least this class) had an attrition rate equal to Special Operations forces, 40% lower than state averages. 2) This school does not allow a final re-take. Well...they do but you have to pay another $1500 and go back through the whole course. And they will be very quick to spam you about that option (and a potential discount enticement) as soon as you get dropped. 3) This school does not allow a final re-take despite the fact that the NREMT that they are "preparing students for" allows 3 re-takes before requiring remedial instruction. The combination of these things is unfortunate and leads me to a conclusion that I hope is incorrect. I feel, based on me and my son's personal experience that the school's model is prioritized more on filling their seats and their pockets rather than helping solid kids with lots of potential become EMTs. I have written this post after careful deliberation as I want to be objective and non-emotional. At the end of the day, my son failed to meet the 80%. That is on us. But the other statistics and policies that I revealed are not about our personal situation and they are things that could affect any student. If I have stated anything non-factual, I am open to correction by the business. I have put forth the information as I understand it. And yes, I have spoke with the business owners via email in private dialogue before I made this post. They did not challenge my assertions. They simply pointed to their policies and said that they "disagree with my characterization." As their response was vapid, I feel it is my duty to write this review and warn others: Do your research and look at the options before you choose SOCAL EMS as your course provider.
