Mike was an outstanding ACLS instructor at NEO. He has a clear, engaging teaching style that makes…read moreeven the most complex concepts easy to understand. He focused on real-world application, not just memorization, which made a huge difference in confidence and retention. What really sets Mike apart is his ability to break down rhythm interpretation and ACLS algorithms in a practical, high-yield way. He created a supportive learning environment where questions were encouraged, and he made sure everyone truly understood the material before moving on. His experience, patience, and passion for teaching were evident throughout the course. I walked away feeling well-prepared, more confident in emergency situations, and genuinely grateful for the quality of instruction. Highly recommend Mike to anyone taking ACLS--top-tier instructor.

I recently renewed my PALS and ACLS certifications at Nurses Educational Opportunities (NEO) and,…read moreas always, had a fantastic experience. The registration process was quick and easy, and I promptly received an email with clear instructions and comprehensive study materials. Parking was plentiful, which is always a bonus. The highlight of my experience was Instructor Mike--hands down one of the best instructors I've encountered. He brought a great sense of humor to the class. He explained the content well and tailored the instruction to meet the learning needs of all participants. Mike frequently checked in to ensure everyone was on track and understood the material. What stood out most was how seamlessly he navigated the differences between real-world practice and AHA standards, often prefacing explanations with, "In the AHA hospital..." or "In practice, you would...," which made the content more relatable and easier to retain. I've been taking certification and renewal courses at NEO for years and will absolutely return when it's time to renew again. For full transparency: I do not work for NEO and have not been paid to leave this review--I just genuinely appreciate the consistent quality of their courses and instructors. Highly recommended!

After finishing the online portion of the training you have to schedule an in-person training for official certification.

I had a great experience today with Gloria as my instructor at the Rancho Bernardo location. I,…read moretoo, received a text that stated the Mission Valley class enrollment was low and that I needed to reschedule. But the text also gave me the option to switch locations to Rancho Bernardo at the same time as my Mission Valley class. So, it wasn't an inconvenience because they were able to accommodate my scheduled class time...just at a different location. I actually loved the RB location because it is in Gloria's home and the relaxed atmosphere made it easier to ask questions and absorb the info quicker. It was nice being able to sit on a comfy couch and drink my Starbucks while watching the training videos and listening to Gloria explain the CPR instruction up close and in detail. We had 7 in our class and every few minutes Gloria would ask us if we had a good grasp of the info. I've taken awkward CPR classes before with stuffy instructors and long class hours. This BLS class was efficient and effective and I will be solely going through them from now on for my certifications. If you book through them, just know that your class may be rescheduled. But in my opinion, the possible hassle of rescheduling is worth the quality of the instruction I received.

She made me laugh most the time, she made the class feel like she's been teaching us for months! I just want her to know she's special and her energy truly makes a difference. When I have to renew my first aid card I am looking forward to just sitting there and enjoying her company for a few hours! Thank you so much Bonnie.
