Usually come here every time it's time to renew my BLS, this past time we went class went by very quick. Instructor is very clear about what to do and what not to do. We did buy a new book seems like you need a new one every other year . Purchased online when regeistering. But I believe they are also available to buy in person. Class was pretty full and instructor kept up with disinfecting everything . We did practice social distance and 1 person per table. read more

Safety Training Seminars - Infant cpr training - CPR Classes Near Me - San Leandro, California

Close to my house, great equipment, excellent customer service. Will continue to come back!

*a review during the COVID-19 pandemic* This is my second time renewing my BLS with STS and once again I'm satisfied. I signed up for the HeartCode option which includes an at home/online portion and a 1 hour in person skills. Because of COVID we did not practice giving rescue breaths but we practiced chest compressions, AED, and BVM. The instructor I had was Justin which is the instructor I had 2 years ago in Concord. He's so lively and makes the class fun and go by quickly! I hope I have him again the next time I take a class. PARKING: For this location it's recommended to park at the Center Street Garage on 2025 Center St. It took me less than 5 minutes to walk to the classroom. TIP: Check into Yelp and get a free keychain CPR mask! read more

The process from registering to completing this course is super easy and smooth. I started by selecting the class that best fits my full-time schedule and I was stoked to find that they offer a hybrid option where you can complete simulations online, then just come in for practicing with the different equipment (instead of a 3-hour class in the classroom setting). After completing the online simulation classroom requirement, I then came in for the in-class simulation using the equipment. There were 3 other students who attended my class. I loved the small classroom setting because our instructor Tj, was able to really give us specific pointers on what we can do better within our CPR technique. You graduate the course with a new BLS/CPR certificate is that's good for 2 years! I recommend this company for all CPR/BLS Certification needs! Thanks for a great class Tj! read more

Safety Training Seminars - BLS book - CPR Classes Near Me - San Leandro, California

I am a health care professional and have done my cpr thru this company for many years, never a complaint. But now the classes are remote with Voice Activated Maniqins and they are a total pain. I had to return 3 times to pass, with the 3rd there being an instructor present. The settings on the dummies are too much. Trying to call and communicate with the office was a joke. Notice in the room a sign that says most people don't pass the first 2 times. What's the point then? I'll find someplace else. read more

Excellent overall. Quality instruction. Online portion was great. Hands on follow up very good. Felt safe and clean at this time of covid. Hand sanitizer, wipes available. Would consider providing N-95s. Maybe door open with security screen door? I heard a fan. read more

The best place to go to do your CPR training. time goes by fast with the nice knowledgeable funny instructors.

"You will be walking away superheroes" I really did feel like that after this course. The instructor was funny, informational, clear, and relatable. Easy to find, book, and pass! read more

Nina was a super great instructor for my first time getting CPR-certified! During the pandemic, our class was practicing social distancing and everything we used from the mannequin to the desk we were sitting at was constantly cleaned down with alcohol wipes. Nina was amazing in keeping our class engaged, informed, and fun. A few hours went by so fast! This was definitely worth the commute from San Francisco for me. I'm looking forward to getting more training from this branch. :) read more

So far a fun class Conner with the Texan accent is really funny guy, he will keep your attention while learning this course! Wasn't looking forward to spending my Saturday renewing my CPR license but, I am glad I am here and learning with him. He made it worth the 3 hours of learning and I didn't feel like I wasted my time. Everyone should know CPR! I also like you get your card and certificate emailed to you upon completion of class, also the location is walking distance from BART and that is always a plus. Nina was a great Teacher also. Thank you read more

Best certification classes ever. Second time coming here and I won't ever go anywhere else. Organized and efficient. Jeff was instructor-- he is knowledge, patient, and professional. Fantastic experience and highly recommended for anyone who want to get certified without any hiccups! Fantastic!! Thank you so much!! I'll be back in 2 years for sure! read more

Don't worry about social distancing because they took a lot of time in making sure everyone was safe. It was one table per person as well as one mannequin or baby per person. Alcohol wipes were provided, as you were to wipe down the mannequin or baby once you were done. Wearing masks were a requirement before entering the building and our instructor, Jeff, was very thorough in teaching our class. read more

I generally do not like CPR training classes. The instructor's name was Carl with a K. He was experienced funny and very personable. I would highly recommend this training site with Karl for anyone that needs the education. read more

Nina was my for instructor today! She was knowledgeable, efficient & super friendly! She engaged so well with the class that everyone seemed super comfortable and it made me feel so confident after my training that someone's like could be in my hands and I would know exactly what to do from start to finish performing CPR, checking for breathing, pulse etc and how many compressions and breaths to give in different situations and different ages from infants to adults. I like taking up a training course where the instructor makes you feel at home, from beginning to end. I was even thinking of going back to become a BLS instructor, that's how wonderful this instructor was. Definitely hard to find teachers who will teach, and make the training fun for all yet at the same time to take it seriously in case those emergencies should arise where your training will be put to use. Thank you Nina! Great job, you just look like you love what you do and though it may not be much for me that goes a long way.... read more

Conner was my CPR, AED, and First Aid instructor. He was very easy to understand and thorough with our lessons. He gave us ample time to practice and made sure everyone was comfortable, before we moved on. He was funny and kept the class fun, while we learned a lot. I took CPR and First Aid, so our class was a total of 5 hours. We had plenty of breaks - one every hour. Some students close only to take the first three hour portion, with CPR only. I would recommend taking the entire course, because if you decide to take first aid later, you'll end up paying for the entire class all over again. I feel confident about what I learned today and I look forward to brushing up my training, at this very facility. Thank you, Conner! read more

I have to say, I really enjoyed this class. It was quick, precise, and useful. Within the short constraints of time, I was able to learn proper techniques, gain extensive knowledge for standard CPR protocols. And much more. It was definitely beneficial that the instructor himself was a rather fine gentleman who made it quite entertaining. Having had stupendous expectations and the class being thoroughly orchestrated, I must say I would recommend coming here! The test was very straight forward, and it's open book. So win, win. read more

Great class! Nina was on top of her game, very knowledgable and it shows. Her dedication to teaching is very evident and contagious. Thanks! read more

Upon arriving to the hands on CPR class I was nervous but Nina was an amazing instructor. She answered my questions and made sure that we understood every step. Thank you Nina I feel confident preforming CPR if needed. read more

The best CPR class I attended so far. Although I've taken several courses before, this one, by far, was more engaging and informative - kudos to the trainer. Although the topic of saving a person's life is serious, I had a good time laughing and having fun with the other attendees. For it being conducted early as hell on a Saturday morning, I had a good experience. read more

Quick, fast, easy. Refresher course will have you in and out in 30 minutes if you completed the online instruction portion already. And if you want more time for hands-on practice, you can stay longer with the instructor. I'll be back in two years. read more

Awesome and completely COVID 19 safe. They modified the course so that you can keep your mask on at all times.

Excellent basic training for CPR & basic life support BLS. Friendly, well organized, efficient & respectful of different physical needs. I was able to practice the techniques without straining my knees or back. We placed the manikin on a chair or table for safe practice and discussed how & why it is important to deliver CPR on the floor or firm surface. The instructor was very professional and experienced. read more

Efficently run, clear info, and great instructors--I appreciate all their insights from being first responders. I'll go back every renewal.

Zac taught a great ACLS class with excellent updated AHA videos. Covid-19 precations where enforced to provide us with a safe classroom.

I completed my online course a week before my in-person class. The class was great. All the equipments were clean and the instructor (Jeff) was absolutely awesome. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs CPR & First Aid training! read more

Nina H. was my instructor for my BLS course and she was phenomenal! As a healthcare provider, I have taken many CPR renewal courses throughout my professional career, and this one taught by Nina was by far the best one. She is very knowledgable with her extensive experience as an EMT, highly passionate about what she does, and makes class enjoyable. Learning the material was so effortless as Nina reiterates high-yield concepts and provides good feedback as we practiced our skills. I feel well-prepared and confident to respond to an emergency. I highly recommended taking the CPR course with Nina from Safety Training Seminars! Will definitely attend this same course in two years again for my renewal read more

Excellent ACLS review course- not stressful and I loved having real stories to help me remember the algorrhythms. I'm so glad that I chose again to take your class. Parking is very easy and not expensive. read more

I had Nina as my instructor and she was amazing! She had such a positive attitude and checked on everyone's CPR technique and gave us good verbal feedback. She makes sure everyone passes the class and throughout the class, she tells you if what she's explaining will be on the test (basically giving you the right answers, just pay attention). The test is also open book. If you miss more than the 5 you're allowed to miss, Nina will tell you which questions you answered correctly and you can review the incorrect ones and correct them. I would highly recommend taking this class with Nina! read more

The class was great. Good instructor, my only complaint is when they add you last minute I'm having hard time retaining my e-card.

Great training programs for beginners. Convenient. Easy to schedule. Very informative.

Dreaded renewing my BLS cert because I didn't want to sit through a boring 3-hr class but I ended up enjoying it. My instructor Nina was great! She was witty and funny which made the class fun and engaging; time flew by. I came in on a weekday afternoon and my cohort comprised of 6 people--which I liked because this meant that everyone would receive substantive feedback on how to improve techniques. 10/10 would take a class here again. The only downside is metered parking. read more

Very informative and helpful. I am thankful that the classes have changed and kept distant from other classmates. It's great

My second time renewing my ACLS at this location and even though I don't live in the bay full time anymore, I would rather wait when I'm in town and attend their classes. The instructors are always so informative and I feel confident in my skills at the end of each class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! PS-our instructor was Luke and he was great! read more
