We loved our experience with Safety Skills! Cheryl was an amazing teacher and went over everything in a way that was easily understandable. She fit us in late notice for an Infant and Child CPR class that we wanted to take prior to bringing our twins home from the nicu. She was sweet, welcoming and a great teacher - would highly recommend!! read more

My wife and I took a CPR class with Cheryl and Mike and we are so grateful that we found them. They were very accommodating to our schedule, incredibly warm and friendly, and created an environment that felt like it was easy and fun to learn these essential skills. Cheryl taught the course and she was just the sweetest; she is super knowledgeable in the mechanics of CPR and very personable, as we were able to share our story with her as well as hear some family stories from her. We loved the course and want to recommend Safety Skills to all of our friends! I wish I could give more than five stars! read more

I had to be CPR certified for a new job and Mike and Cheryl were recommended to me. They are amazing and so nice! I took the Heartsaver CPR AED course. It was only $50. Very affordable! And they give you the workbook with it, and I got my card the same day. When I took the course, it was only me, which was great! I love one-on-one teaching and it made it a lot easier and more comfortable to learn. Cheryl was very kind and willing to answer all of my questions. She makes sure you understand everything before moving on and before you leave the course. They both have experience in health care, and Cheryl is a registered nurse and works at USC. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly. Cheryl and Mike were both very welcoming and kind and made me feel very comfortable. I definitely will be back when I need to renew my certification and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs certification. read more

I took this CPR AED class so that I know how to save lives and to add a skill to my yoga career. Cheryl was very professional, sweet and knowledgeable. The class was conducted at her comfortable home. She explained everything thoroughly and welcomed any questions I had. She had mannequins for adult, kid and infant, and made sure I was giving CPR correctly to all three. I'm excited to do my First Aid training with her. Highly recommended! read more

Cheryl is top notch. Her positive energy makes this class flow so smoothly. My husband and I decided to take a cpr class prior to our twins arrival. So glad we did.

Took class with my 72 yr old mom. It was a great class, like others said, comfortable, everything is explained thoroughly. I have taken a few CPR classes and by far this was my favorite. Cheryl was so understanding and sensitive to our needs, I was recently in a CPR situation and wanted my mom to take it ASAP. They were very accommodating. I'm not in healthcare, just wanted a refresh my cert was exp. and my mom, 1st time in 30 years or so. I strongly suggest to everyone to take a class, hopefully you never need to use the skills but if you have to, you know what to do. Thank you Cheryl so much! read more

Excellent CPR class! Cheryl and Mike are very friendly. I needed to renew my BLS Heartsaver Provider card right away and they were able to set me up with an appointment the next day.

She was so knowledgeable of the human anatomy and how things are done on the floors of the hospital! I had so much fun thank you so much !!! read more

Fantastic class! Never in all my years in nursing have I ever been in a class that was this down to earth and well... just fun. With things changing all the time I came out with clear and concise life saving skills for kids and adults. So many things were clarified for me that before were a bit confusing and I now genuinely feel ready and prepared to act in an emergency situation. Cheryl made things so easy to remember! Not only that, but Had answers for ALL my questions. read more

What a great class! I took a CPR class through the Red Cross a few years back and I learned more in the first ten minutes at Safety Skills than I did in my whole class time at the Red Cross. Cheryl is a wonderful teacher, she's very knowledgable, warm, funny, and patient. She really knows what she's doing because she's been a nurse for 30 years. It's very hands on, if you don't understand something she'll explain it until you get it. It's a very relaxed and laid back environment too. I wasn't looking forward to taking this class but she made it fun and enjoyable, I'll definitely be coming back. Bonus, she has wonderful catch phrases like "what the dickens". read more

Cheryl signed me up for a one-on-one class the day before, and clearly explained the all-inclusive fee for the CPR/AED class: $50, which included the reference book. Her class started promptly at her very comfortable home location, and included great animations on DVD explaining the difference between a heart attack and fibrillation, and how chest compressions make the blood flow. She had sufficient adult, child, and infant mannequins for hands-on practice and closely supervised my technique, never rushing the class and checking for my understanding. I would recommend her class to any teacher that needs a new or renewal CPR card for their education credential, this is professional instruction at its best! read more

Safety Skills was by far the best CPR training experience I have ever had. In previous classes with other instructors, I got the feeling that the teacher did not really care, and was just going through the motions. Not with Cheryl. She is animated, happy, and you can tell that she really loves her job. She makes sure everyone knows what they are doing, and will gladly answer any questions you have. Never before have I learned so much, and been so happy with a CPR class. Her teaching comes from experience as she worked for some time as a nurse. I highly recommend her, it was definitely the best experience I have ever had! read more
