This company was so accommodating to me. Becky really helped me out when I accidentally bought one too many courses for the ACLS renewal. She was able to refund me the difference and book the correct course. Justin was my ACLS instructor. The fact that he is a paramedic brought a lot of value to the class. He was very knowledgeable of running a code, funny, and straight to the point. I appreciated that he offered to do a practice mega code for those who wished to stay after being tested out. It was a nice small class setting so your participation and interaction brings more value to the learning experience. It was quick and easy. The best type of course. Thanks for a smooth ACLS testing session. I will be using you guys again when it comes time to renew in two years. read more

Safety Training Seminars provides it all. I renewed my BLS, ACLS, and PALS. They provided practical hands on practice and great visual feedback during practice portion. It was easy to schedule and sign up. Overall a great experience. Thank you! read more

This was my first experience using an online format, and in person skills class. Learning platform was straightforward and learned what you knew as you moved through the course. I enjoyed doing the in person skills without others around. The system gave good feedback on rate, depth and quality of compressions and breaths. It was easy to navigate and overall a good experience. I would definitely use them again for future certifications. read more

A very easy and straightforward way to renew my ACLS and BLS certifications. The online modules were very thorough and informative and the skills test was clear. The skills testing room was well organized and clean. read more

This is a great location to get your CPR certification / license renewal. Here are some great reasons: 1. Tina was a great instructor. She was clear, concise and compassionate. 2. Facility was very clean and they provided each student one gallon of hand sanitizer (see photo). 3. The video lessons are up-to-date, appropriate and effective learning tools. 4. Location is easy to find and access. read more

I've attended Safety Training Seminars to obtain my CPR card prior to becoming a licensed healthcare provider and continue to attend BLS/CPR classes to renew. Safety Training Seminars is easy to book for appointments, central location that hasn't changed much over the years and provides quality classes to better equip the everyday person to providers with life-saving knowledge. The classes run by instructors Tomas and Tina are well run, seamless in transitions and are sure to provide constructive criticism all the while stressing the importance of certain key points of the training. The mannequins can be finicky but work well to simulate the given situations. All training equipment is provided and clean. After the videos, and skills simulations there is a 25 question test at the end. The instructors provide breaks and there are items such as water, coffee, tea and granola bars available as refreshments. The price point is reasonably cheap and if you have the existing book, you can save yourself an additional cost. You receive your eCard within hours of completing the training. I would highly recommend for ease and providing quality information. They give out portable keychain CPR masks with Yelp check-in. read more

I've been here several times over the years for my BLS renewals. As always I had an A+ experience during yesterday's class. Facility: Very clean inside the facility, including the restroom. Complimentary snacks and drinks were offered. There was also a charging station available for use at the front left side of the class room for students to use. One student was assigned to each desk to help maintain a 6ft distance. Items were disinfected before and after use. Lysol wipes were available if needed and hand washing was encouraged! Instructor: This time my trainer was Tiffany. Tiffany was very patient with students who were asking questions. Some of the questions were relevant, others not so much. She kept her cool the entire time. She also admitted when she wasn't 100% sure on an answer to a question (this question was not totally relevant to the material being taught so it made sense not to be 100% sure). During our 10 minute break she did some research, found the answer, and shared it with the class. She was also very observant to detail which was helpful is helping important concepts stick. I will continue to use this facility for all of my training. I'll be back soon to complete my ACLS certification. Thank you for being so awesome! I appreciate you Tiffany! read more

Really enjoyed my experience! Had my BLS Renewal class today and I feel like it was a great refresher for me. My instructor was Tina and she made things really easy to understand and follow. Her feedback during our practice sessions was also very helpful. 25 question test at the end of class, which is open note and open book. Highly recommended. See you again in 2 years! :) read more

It's an easy way to renew your certs. Probably not ideal for a first time certification, however if you know what your doing it's a ged way to keep your certifications updated. read more

Don't bother purchasing the "required" book. Paid $20 and was told the book would be given at the class. It was not, the instructor said the were working on getting us an eBook. We did not receive it during the training. I received an email containing a link for it after my card was issued. So what was the point? I asked for a refund and was refused. Why not just increase the cost of the course if you're trying to make more money? Customer service was seriously lacking. Other than that, the course was straightforward. They have spray bottles with alcohol and hand sanitizer at every station. Masks required. Instructor was clear. read more

My instructor is very helpful. I have learned a lot from this class. Let's save people's lives. read more

Back for a recertification, and my instructor was James M. He made the class fun, engaging, and super informative. I admire his enthusiasm for education and was grateful that he was my instructor. Not gonna lie, I was definitely falling asleep during the videos, but I think he noticed and was able to change up the course to be more engaging and motivating. I definitely recommend him and would give him a big tip & 5 star rating if I could. read more

Friendly, convenient, easy instructions, and well organized course! Highly recommend this place for your BLS recertification. read more

I forgot my instructor's name, but I came in December 28 and this lady was very nice. She made the class easy and simple. We just watched a video and practiced on dummies while she walked around and critiqued our technique. She also went over the main points that we should remember and went through similar scenarios that would show on the exam. Got 100%! Would recommend BLS course :) read more

Instructor and pacing of class was great - speed of course makes it seem like it's more for recertification than first time learning

Recently, I took my basic testing skills with Connor being my instructor. An excellent instructor with clear and concise instructions. He is also very informative and knowledgeable. He kept the class engaged and gave ample time to practice hands on with dummies. I had the experience of an hour basic testing skills with no instructor present, and nothing can compare or beat the skills testing like you do in an actual class setting! I appreciate and thank you, Connor! read more

Still a great place. I buy the ACLS ebook and do the class session that way. As true as it gets, they test your "skills" at the center, simulations were all done online. Best way to go! They also upgraded their manikin to have depth perception when you are doing CPR. Woo! read more

Great class, I really enjoyed the course! The classes are fairly affordable and if you're going to get certified by anyone, it should be by the American Heart Association. I got the basic life support class! My instructor was named Wendy and she was funny. She really cares about students fully understanding the course and she tries to make it a pretty interactive course. Rest assure that you will surely know how to perform great cpr and help someone who is choking! 5/5. Definitely coming back in two years! read more

Very good instructor. Clear and informative. She made sure everyone understands the topics. read more

I had to renew my BLS certification for work. I'm glad I chose this company. Signing up was easy and straightforward. The class is designed, so you follow the book along with the video while the instructor points out key things to remember. Out of all the BLS classes I've taken, I really enjoyed the set up and execution of this one - no awkward individual demonstrations in front of everyone and not in someone's living room (yes I've experienced both). Would definitely recommend! read more

I took the class with Conner, he is energetic, drops enough clues, covers the main points that if you pay attention you should pass the BLS (Basic Life Support) course with flying colors. The Safety Training WiFi password is the phone number which is 4087249985. You will learn adult CPR and pediatric CPR and practice chest compressions, rescue breathing, use an AED and use a breathing ventilation mask. Class is fun, engaging, and you will learn real life skills. We finished the 3 hour class in under 2.5 hours if you paid attention to the open note test. read more

8 hours CPR- First Aid training sounds tiring, but Tina is such an awesome instructor, she made it a breeze. We started with CPR. Some of the mannequin they have in class don't work properly, but Tina was always quick to help. Lunch break was about an hour (McDonald's, Subway, Safeway, Walgreens and Starbucks are only a few minutes walk. There is a diner there too but the wait is long). We came back for the First Aid training, and Tina gave us an extra 10 minutes break when she noticed that some of us were tired. The test was quite easy, if you have been paying attention you will surely score 100%. I collected my certificate, and totally forgot to check in on Yelp to get a mask. Bummer! Anyway, anyone who needs Safety Training should definitely sign up for this class. I even drove all the way from Berkeley to San Jose for it! :-) Update (3/26): I received the keychain in the mail today! Awesome! Thank you Charles and Becky! read more

If you need to get your CPR/AED certification, then this would be the spot to go if you're in the San Jose area. Easily one of the most painless experiences you will ever have. It's $50 bucks, plus $20 for the book you need to have. One of the cheapest options in San Jose. Believe me, I checked. They check you in, and the three hour course is done in about 2 1/2. The instructor, whose name eludes me at this time (Tina? Linda?) was great and super friendly and helpful. I pretty much knew what I needed to do at every second. Watching the video can be a bit depressing as their is no closure. Did the baby at the gym die? Did the dude who had a heart attack at the airport make it? Still, very informative. At the end of the day, I felt like I learned something, and now am certified to give CPR. Great instructor, and great class. read more

Regardless of whether you're involved in the health care field or not, you should DEFINITELY take some time to learn CPR. Because I was interested in a specific volunteer opportunity that required CPR certification (RockMed), I came across the San Jose CPR Certification office. It's sponsored through the American Heart Association and there are several locations around the Bay Area. I was specifically looking for a CPR and Basic Life Support class (specific for people involved in health care) and this place offered it. It's like $60 for a 3-hour class, not including the additional manual/book that's around $20 for a new copy. But for $80 and a morning of your time and effort, you'll walk away with SO MUCH knowledge as well as a new certification to save lives! Coming in, I was a bit nervous of the experience but the instructor was very welcoming and super helpful. Every person in the class came from different backgrounds and skill levels, but we were all here for the same goal of helping others. The course was broken up into several parts (adult CPR, child, infant, and choking situations), with each session including hands on practice and videos. Overall, the morning went very quickly and smoothly! At the end, you're given a short quiz and if you pass (by basically paying attention) you'll be given your certification as an ecard. Looking back, I'm SO GLAD I took this course. It taught me so many things I never knew about life-threatening situations and how to deal with them. I know how to perform CPR now as well as how to use an AED. The only feedback I'd give to the course is for it to be maybe longer? It felt rushed and I wished the instructor kinda worked with each person individually; she did help everyone practice skills but it wasn't too personal. Plus, I honestly don't think you need to shell out $20 for the book for this course because the instructor basically teaches you everything there during the class; you should however get the book on your own time to really dig deep into the concepts. If you got a morning to spare and some cash laying around, definitely sign up for a CPR class here. You'll learn valuable skills that will save someone's life one day. I give this place an "Omg, I'd travel 2 hours for this" rating. Stay safe and prosper, read more

Great class! Took my cpr and first aid training and learned so much! Highly recommend this class! Our instructor was Tina and she was great! She made sure if we had questions, she would make sure we understood everything! Love this class because it teaches you every age from infant to adult. Will defiantly come back to renew my card. Only disappointing thing about it is they didn't remind us we can get a free mask if checking into social media, and totally forgot about it. Was sad I didn't get my mask :( But overall , great experience!! See you back in a couple years! read more

Every two years, I come back here to renew my BLS certification. This time, I had Karl as my instructor & he was a hoot. Super personable/funny but also very informative. Would totally recommend coming here to get your CPR/first aid certifications done. I've been back at least four times now & will plan to be back two years from now! read more

I had to renew my ACLS due to lapsed certification. Making the appointment was convenient, it has Bay Area classes every week, ACLS was closest to home. Our instructor Erik was knowledgeable and very thorough. Breaks were every hour for stretching and using the restroom, lunch was 45 min and he gave us some local food tips. Mega ode was non-judgmental and extensive. Class size is small enough to have all of our questions answered. It was clean, professional and organized. I recommend for sure. I will be back next week for BLS since mine expired over 1 year ago. read more

The class was very informative and the instructor was knowledgeable. The pace of the class was good and she kept us engaged. It was also nice to get hands on practice with the dummies. I've gotten certified online before but you dont really retain as much or really learn the techniques like you do in an actual class setting. read more

I took my ACLS renewal class today and it was excellent. Robert was great! He kept the class fun and low stress. I learned a ton and am so glad I took it! Will come back for all my future certification needs. read more

Great establishment for getting certified/recertify for AED/CPR. Made a dumb mistake in registering for the wrong class and STS corrected it by allowing me to re-register for the correct class. That's what I get for not paying close attention to what I was doing. Awesome customer service! Class was also Covid Safety friendly. read more

Great location, good size classroom, and great teachers! Price range is normal. Would highly recommend :) also you get to take home a handy mouth piece that you can hang on your keys! read more

I just took the class for the CPR/First Aid/AED. I thought it would be a tough class to get through being that it was a 5 hour class but it went through pretty quick. The class is based on Video, Instructor, and hands on training. The videos are very self explanatory and are easy to comprehend. For each section, they give a scenario skit. The videos are also overly dramatic which can be kind of funny, but you get the picture. :) CPR: Depending on how many people are in the class you may get paired up with someone else with a mannequin. Each person receives their own rubber "face" and CPR mask to practice on the mannequin. It's very sanitary. The video tells you what to do and the instructor gives you more info and tips on where to apply the CPR on the mannequin and how to apply the mask. 1 group of people practice at the same time with the video then they switch and the next group of people practice. Each time you switch, you take off your rubber face and the other person puts theirs on. You practice on an "adult" mannequin and also an "infant" mannequin. You also learn about how to use an AED, which i never knew what it was until this class. You practice this also on the mannequins. We also took a few breaks in between throughout the 5 hrs of class. They serve refreshments, such as tea, coffee, water, soda, snacks also. First Aid: This section is mainly video based with a few hands on training. There is A LOT of information in this section as it talks about every situation. The only thing i wish is that there was a paper guide to have for this section to remind you of what to do in each scenario. Hopefully i'm able to remember if i'm actually in a real life situation. The instructor, Kaaren, was great. She was really nice and very knowledgeable when questions were thrown her way. She also knew how to make use of down time when we were watching the videos. She was always cleaning up and changing out the mannequins shirts and masks to make sure fresh ones were used. Also, don't forget to check in on Foursquare, Facebook, or Yelp to receive a free CPR mask! I would definitely refer someone here that was interested in these classes. read more

This is one of thee best BLS/CPR classes I've ever taken! My instructor was Bianca & she was great! I signed up and registered the same day (3 hours before the class). I came straight from work and Bianca was very informative, up beat & energetic which helped boost my mental capacity as I was physically & mentally about to expire! Everything you need to know about the classes (& other classes they offer) are all on their website. Once your done with the class & passed the 25 question test, you get your CPR card right after. And the best part about it was that the BLS/CPR class was only 3 hours! I remember back in the day the class would take a whole 8 hours & you get your CPR card mailed to you within a week, so this is a major PLUS! They also offer free tea, coffee, soda & phone charging station! If you need to take or renew your CPR card then register now, you won't regret it! read more

A group of friends and I bought a Groupon for the CPR/First Aid Certification class. I thought that it would be a grueling 5-hour class on a Sunday morning, but our instructor Dave made everything fly by! Dave spoke in very simple terms and never made anything over-complicated. He made us feel comfortable and kept us engaged and energized throughout the session. Not a single minute in those 5 hours felt like a waste. Super educational AND entertaining. The classroom is spacious, and the materials are clean. There are also some snacks, drinks, and tea/coffee offered to fuel you through your session as well! Don't forget to check in on Yelp to claim a free CPR mask keychain! read more

With so many openings and times available this is a great choice. Process was easy and the instructor was experienced.

Did my initial CPR class here before starting nursing school and was back again for renewal! Love the new space (only just around the corner now) it's much brighter and makes for a better classroom environment. My instructor was Tina and she was great! I did the in person class because it was more expensive to do the online class. All Covid precautions are taken place and we were required to wipe down all mannequins, masks, and AED's after each use. There are also hand sanitizers at every desk. Overall seamless experience, and great instructor. Thanks! read more

The instructor in my class is Wendy. SHE IS THE BEST!!! Very clear instructions, and love the sense of humor in her speech. Solid practice, excellent teaching skills, and always willing to answer questions. Couldn't complain about anything. THE BEST BLS class I've ever attended. read more

I enjoyed Bianca's dynamism, energy, and her efficient way of teaching! We were able to practice CPR/AED on dummies several times, which is great for somatic learners, like myself! Before, I had taken the online course, which pales in comparison to a live class. The dense information was communicated in an engaging way that caters to the variety of "learners" out there (kinesthetic, audio, visual). I feel confident about properly handling emergency situations after taking that class! I will definitely come again! read more

I really enjoyed taking my BLS CPR class here. The instructor was very knowledgeable and kind. I enjoyed the videos and I felt safe here while taking this course during the Pandemic. The price was also reasonable. read more
