Shane's amazing! Came to do my CPR renewal and he was very nice. Explains everything good and you do everything else after. Super smooth and easy. Highly recommend if you need your certificate. read more

Just had my BLS/CPR class with Shane this morning and the process was straightforward, quick, and informative. I've always struggled with in-person skill demonstrations but he explained the materials very well. Definitely coming back when I need my certificate renewed. read more

Just had Shane again to renew our family's CPR certification! Again, such a great experience and our family had fun! Definitely would still recommend Shane! read more

Shane was a fantastic CPR instructor. My cohort was enrolled in the blended class option and once we completed the online portion, Shane was able to reinforce all that learning and give us very valuable insight using his decades of experience in the health care field. He was knowledgeable, friendly, cracked a few jokes, and got us all certified and out into the world as quickly as possible. Highly recommend. read more

The whole process was very efficient and a good experience. I was able to sign up for CPR through Evergreen and due to COVID-19 the usual school class training wasn't an option. Our instructor Shane was kind enough to set up training in his back yard. He kept everything very professional and taught class at a very good pace! He answered everyone's questions and had great teaching skills! I would definitely recommend his class and will retake it when my license expires! read more

I first took Shane's CPR class through my nursing school program. I enjoyed it so much and thankfully, we had his information to contact him again for a second class. Shane is SUPER accommodating and flexible with the whole corona virus thing going on. He makes sure his equipment is wiped down after every class and has a limited amount of people so that we can safely physical distance. He even purchased shades which he hung in his backyard to be more accommodating. Couldn't ask for a nicer instructor. Can't forget that he had a fridge full of water which he periodically offered us throughout the class. See ya in two years for renewal Shane! read more

Shane is a wonderful instructor!!!! He is really thorough with the training and made sure everyone knew what they were doing and doing it correctly. It wasn't boring like I had expected it to be as this was my first cpr class I've ever taken. I would highly recommend taking his class!!! I'm definitely going to come back and retake it when my cpr card expires!!! read more

Shane came to my class to give us CPR training and he was a wonderful instructor. His training was informative and easy to follow; he mixed his humor which made the class more fun. He had the dummies to practice on plus knee pads which really helped while giving CPR on the floor. Overall, after taking his training course I feel more prepared and equipped with the knowledge on what to do in an emergency situation where CPR is need. read more

Shane is a great instructor!! A very informative class and I loved it. I took this class for CPR renewal and this class is by far the most thorough class i've taken. He knows the subject well and he has a great sense of humor. He makes the class exciting and I highly recommend this class for everyone. read more

Just took his class today and I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. Everyone in the class was able to perform CPR correctly after his clear instructions. I would definitely recommend SABA TRAINING to my friends and family members. read more

Cool training for my nursing program. Could definitely be shortened by at least an hour. Doing cpr on our knees on linoleum was definitely not the ticket. read more

This was my third time recert-ing my BLS CPR card, and my first class with SABA Training. Repetition really makes things stick! Shane, our instructor, shared relevant experience from his work as a paramedic, which really helped solidify understanding in the classroom setting. My favorite tip for making sure all on scene are safe when using an AED is verbalizing/observing that 'I'm clear, you're clear, we're all clear' then proceeding with an advised shock. I have recommended SABA Training to current EMT co-workers and I look forward to recertifying with SABA in years to come! read more

Shane was a great instructor. I took his class for recertification, and I learned more in his class than the others I have taken. He is very knowledgeable being that he is a paramedic. He shared some of his own experiences with the class to give us an idea of some scenarios that could occur. He made the class fun but also gave us key points of things that we should remember. read more

He is really friendly and flexible. I took the class during COVID-19 pandemic and he made it possible. He followed every requirement from the disinfectant to the social distancing. His lecture is clearly and straight forward. Highly recommend him if you want to take a CPR BSL class. He also teaches at home so I think that is super convenient for those who want their entire family take the class. Also, from my own experience his price was a lot better than others. read more

Hands down best CPR course I've ever taken. Shane is super knowledgeable and funny! Will definitely renew with him in two years.

Shane is a good CPR instructor. He's not boring and got some laughs out of us throughout the day. He's also very knowledgeable since he has been in EMS for 10+ years. He emphasized all the important aspects of CPR and made sure we got it down. Overall, I would recert with Shane whenever it's time. Hope whoever is interested in taking it with him decides to do so. Directly contacting him will make attending classes much easier, whether it be at the comfort of your own home or at a site that he will be at. read more

Working with children, I have been CPR certified now 4 times and Shane was the best instructor yet! When he came to Extreme Learning Center for our management team CPR and First Aid Training, he made the hours pass by quickly by keeping our attention, being funny and answering questions thoroughly (even the ones I that I asked that I thought might be stupid!) Totally recommend him and we can't wait to have him back for our next one! read more

Shane is a wonderful and interesting instructor! He's also funny, but still on the topic regardless. Having him as an instructor for CPR is truly remarkable. I would really recommend that you guys take his class. He can go to your place if driving to Gilroy is not convenient. He went to our college for us to be trained! Kudos for the man with many hats! read more

Saba training & instructor Shane are incredible. Shane brings a real sense of pride to teaching CPR / life-saving techniques. He combines real world practicality with a sense of fun, while still maintaining that CPR can & should be learned by everyone. I would recommend him to anyone interested in becoming certified & learning these critical skills. read more

I just took my first course from Shane and it was a lot of fun! I've been to numerous health care provider training courses and I really appreciated how approachable he was, and even had some funny jokes to spice up the somewhat-dry material. It's great that he is still working the field of emergency response, so he uses realistic scenarios to bring the course to life. I will definitely be calling SABA Training for renewal and also to inquire about other certifications I may need in the future. Thanks Shane! read more

Shane Christiansen was a fantastic instructor. He was quick and concise. Because he has been in the field he knows the reality of the situation not just how to teach the steps. It's a long class with lots of information but he made it fun and easy. Most of all I left feeling confident that I would preform well in any emergency. I will be taking his class when it's time for renewal for sure. read more

I first took Shane's CPR training two years ago in compliance with my nursing program requirements (and just recently renewed this month), little did I know how useful his instructions would be outside of my clinical setting. Not long after taking my first class with SABA training, my worst nightmare as a mother occurred when my one-year-old daughter ended up choking on a piece of apple she was eating. In that split second of absolute terror, all of my hands-on training from Shane's course came rushing back and I threw her upside down and over my knee and gave her a few good thumps! Out came the apple and a devastating outcome was completely avoided. So thankful I had that knowledge/muscle memory and was able to react quickly. EVERYONE should know CPR! Shane is a marvelous instructor that actually makes learning CPR fun! He has a brute charisma and knows how to work with a diverse group of individuals. Highly recommend SABA training - you never know when you will need CPR, until you need it! Get certified. read more

Shane is a really great instructor. The class was great, he kept it fun. He gave some great techniques to make sure you were on track with the counting. He always had a clear answer to any questions we had. I would really recommend him to anyone who is looking to take a CPR class. read more

Shane was great. We are first time parents and wanted to be prepared by learning cpr and first aid for infants and children. He came to our home, was very professional and knowledgeable. He brought the learning tools and cpr mannikins with him. He took time being thorough and answered all of our question. Really well priced as well. read more

Shane is an amazing instructor! Even though I have taken several CPR classes before, he managed to hold my attention and make things interesting. I will definitely be recommending him! read more

Shane was a great instructor. He is very knowledgeable, personable and experienced in training. I enjoyed getting CPR certified with him as a teacher. read more

Chill dude, really knowledgeable! Did CPR training in about 4 hours, videos and hands on practice. Coo coo!

Nice guy! Very informative. He's a good presenter and he's funny. This is naturally very dry material but Shane does a good job keeping everyone engaged. He has a lot of value to add to the standard AHA information. I learned a lot. And, I left the training feeling capable. Everyone should take a CPR class! read more

Went through this class with a breeze! Shane was funny and very enthusiastic which made it easy to learn the material. He has years of experience and it is apparent through the information he shared with us. I would definitely recommend him and will be returning again. read more

Shane was so awesome! He trained my colleague and I. We learned a lot of information. The hands on training was amazing. The video was great. Shane explained everything, asked us frequently if we had questions and guided us through everything! Thank you so much! read more

Shane came to my home to renew my certification and the training was easy and informative. His manner of teaching is very engaging and the amount of practice was individualized. My card was ready the next day. While I hope I never need to use it, I feel well equipped following Shane's training. Thanks, Shane! read more

First time attending a CPR course. Shane was very informative and explained everything really well. Overall, the class was enjoyable and fun. read more

After searching for a quick, straight-forward and reasonably priced CPR training for my job requirements, I came across Shane. He was able to accommodate us, a group of teachers, and meet us at the location of our choice. He was patient, even though we had some late-comers. The actual training covered everything you need to know. Not only that, but Shane ensured you would feel prepared in a real scenario... It was that engaging :) he comes with a lot of experience in the first responding field, so he has lots of stories to share about why these skills are so important. Great class, and our CPR cards were ready within 2 business days! Can't thank him enough for his flexibility and enthusiasm for the field. read more

Wonderful instructor! Hands down this is the only instructor I would get my CPR training with since he is so informative and a pleasure to listen to! read more

Shane did an excellent job on the training course for CPR, AED, choking, and more. Shane is both professional yet, fun and engaging. He was patient and answered all our questions. He was very thorough in teaching the techniques. I would definitely recommend his class. (Thanks Shane! From all of us at Bay Area Backflow, Inc) read more

Best CPR training I have EVER received! Shane is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He has spent many many years working in the field of emergency medicine and truly excels at what he does. Shane not only teaches you how to be extremely proficient at the skills he teaches his students, but he also continues training each and every student until they feel comfortable enough to save the world! I can't rave enough or thank SABA training enough for the service they provide our citizens and community! read more

Shane was an excellent instructor, very hands-on and detailed for the CPR course I took with him. I received my CPR/First Aid/AED certification from him and left feeling prepared and confident if I find myself in an emergency situation where I need to perform CPR or administer an AED. The first aid portion seemed a bit abbreviated at the end of the main CPR/AED class, but I am happy with what I learned. read more

Shane was an excellent CPR instructor. The content can be tedious, but Shane helped the time go by quickly and made the class interesting with some humor mixed in. I appreciated his teaching style, and his concern for students to learn the information rather than achieve a perfect score at the end was well done. I highly recommend him. read more

I thought Shane was a great instructor and made getting certified as minimally complicated as possible. My opinion probably never would have changed, except for the fact that he does not get back to his clients when they need to be re-certified. I have a friend who has also reached out, after my recommendation and he never got back to that person either. He is very hard to get a hold of, does not return a call or respond to an email, even out of common courtesy or to simply say "I don't need the business" or that he's booked up. He does not seem eager to meet the needs of his clients in a timely manner. I'm bummed to leave a review like this, but maybe if he sees that he is not providing excellent service to all of his clients, he may work on improving things. read more
