This class went over first aid and CPR, mainly the basics given a certian situation. Since all situations will be different being able to recognize some signs we're helpful. The instructor Tricia was expressive and engaging, the 4 hour class flew by quickly with an information dump of how-tos, both in video format and with partner demonstrations. There were room for questions after each section and each answer was informative. Luckily they provide a take home manual that summarizes the slides you'll be going through if you forget. Bring snacks and drinks (closed tops/bottles), as you'll get breaks in between, though they do offer some for sale. Overall great class and definitely recommend it either for a first time, refrehser or if you need the most basic form of certification.

I recently took a class with instructor, P.W., and his instruction was exceptional. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, kind, and inclusive. He somehow makes an all-day class feel like it goes by quickly! What I appreciated most was his teaching style. He doesn't just give you the answers, he walks you through the question or scenario and helps you critically think your way to the answer yourself. He takes the time to explain things clearly and makes sure everyone feels comfortable asking questions. This was a challenging class for me, and having an instructor like P.W. made a huge difference. I'm hoping the next time I take a class, he'll still be teaching here!

Bonus that the class was only $49, compared to another agency I was looking at that charged $90. Overall an 11/10 experience!!

As a non nursing medical professional I am not required to have an ACLS cert, but I felt passionately that myself and others that work in hospitals should be aware of how Advanced Life Support works and what general concepts are covered beyond BLS.

A big thank you to Patrick for being so knowledgeable, engaging, and kind in the class. Also thank you to Amber for being so communicative with scheduling and any questions I had during enrollment.

Supposedly BROKE GUINNESS RECORD with 3400 participants--but didn't register. Bummer…read more Nearly a 5 hour ordeal and still 5 stars!!! Great job American Red Cross! Here's what happened: Wanted to get up early to take the earlier classes to avoid the rush since it's every hour from 7-1 pm for registration with the last class supposedly at 1 pm. The CPR process is reported to take about 3.5 hours. 10:00-11:15 am: Got up and got ready, taking care of what I got to take care of before leaving and grabbing my ID, cash (at least $20 to be safe), and camera. 11:15-11:45 am: Drove to San Diego Concourse where it's taking place. Paid $5 for parking at the location (YAY for reduced CPR Saturday rate). 11:45 am: Took elevator down to street level and went WTF. There's like 300-400 people in line! 11:45-12:00 pm: Got in the wrong part of line and cut a bunch of pissed off people who finally spoke up 5 minutes later. The line weaved like crazy, I thought I was at the end. Got to the end. Chitchat with people and realize I needed to grab a clipboard, register, and stand in a different line. 12:00-12:30 pm: Bubbled my registration and register to get a wristband that was my ticket in. During the wait, a guy announce once you have the wristband, you can wait in a line or just sit anywhere until your hour is called. 12:30-1:00 pm: Walked to Wendy's a short walk away and grabbed breakfast/lunch. 1:00-1:50 pm: Headed back to San Diego Concourse and ate lunch and waited. Things were running behind 45 minutes so the 1pm session was at 1:45 pm. 1:50-2:45 pm: Waited until everyone that was in the line went in and went in myself. Even though there were about 300-500 people my session, the line moved in under 10 minutes. There's no reason to wait in line unless you wanted good seats. The front row was the last to fill up anyways, so got a front row seat. Watched a 45 minute video. Don't expect it to be super entertaining or have great acting. The video is suppose to teach you CPR and that's what it does. No further comment. They announced more than 3000 people have done CPR training today with more to train at an additional session at 2pm since they didn't want to turn away anyone that came in time. 2:45-2:50 pm: Took written test and got 100%!!! 2:50-3:05 pm: Waited in line to do CPR demo on real person. 3:05-3:30 pm: Did CPR demo with an assigned partner since I came alone. 3:30-3:40 pm: Waited in line to do CPR demo on dummy. 3:40-4:00 pm: Trained on dummy. 4:00-4:30 pm: Got certificate and headed home. Too pooped to go shopping at that point. Yes, it was a long ordeal but it's FREE and now I can possibly save someone's life. If you want a shorter time frame, arrive early. Don't hate.

It's also a same day certification, which means the certificate is available within 5-15 minutes after the class. Highly recommend if you're looking into taking a BLS/First Aid courses!

They have a more fast-paced, hands-on approach - however, this works since Anita wants you to approach a variety of real-life situations using critical thinking. The class was held in their own private residence condo in Coronado, and parking was a pain (then again, it was Coronado). Overall, I would definitely recommend Anita and Dave for their thoroughness and personable natures. I think this is the first time all of the first aid and CPR content stuck in my head without having to watch videos or do vast amounts of paperwork.

Spencer is the greatest of all time. I'll take him over Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and Usain…read moreBolt any day. I graduated from one of the top universities in America, and I can confidently say that Spencer is better than nearly all of the professors there. Seldom can you find a teacher who is overflowing with knowledge, is able to convey that knowledge concisely and effectively, and manages to not display an ounce of hubris. Not only is he a walking EMS encyclopedia, he genuinely cares for his students. He wants everyone to succeed, and it shows in both the way he teaches the class and how he treats his students. His lax and understanding nature creates a more comfortable environment that fosters growth and learning. After graduating from the class, I feel fully prepared for the NREMT. But more than just an EMT class, I feel that I have learned an incredible amount of practical knowledge that I can utilize for the rest of my career in medicine. For more of the logistical stuff, I took the 5 week full-time course. It's a lot, but it's manageable--especially if you have a background in science. I was able to score above average on all the exams by basically just listening to Spencer's lectures. I PERSONALLY did not feel the need to read the book or go over the PowerPoint slides, but they are both great resources for additional help. I think the fact that I was able to do well in the class simply based on Spencer's lectures is more a reflection on his ability than mine. Random tips: -There is no wifi. So if you want to be connected to the internet, consider getting a Wifi hotspot for a month if you don't have it already -There's a Keurig machine -Don't worry too much about the uniform. You need it before your ride alongs that are scheduled usually 2-5 weeks after the beginning of the course. Of course, you will look goofy if you are the only one not wearing the uniform during class, but don't worry too much if you don't have it prepared by the first day of class -You need to print a lot of things. Just be aware of this and prepare accordingly. -I highly recommend a restaurant called "Tadian". It is super close by, inexpensive, and tasty with great customer service.
