This is my second time taking this class at SureFire and Swish was an amazing instructor! She made the class fun and interesting and I'm so happy she was my instructor. read more

Hospital fire safety class was super engaging and informative, instructor was so involved and cared about what he was teaching his students (didn't catch his name, had glasses and a moustache? lol). Videos worked well with what was being taught; overall the four hours felt like two! Was able to leave early due to the class finishing at 12 and there was time post class to take the assessment, so depending on when you finish the test, you're able to leave whenever you finish downloading the certificate. read more

I took my ACLS renewal here and I was amazed at how detailed and helpful the instructor was. I am a Labor and Delivery nurse and I am not too familiar with reading cardiac strips but attending this class made me understand it more and use the logic they taught. I have been a nurse for 15 years and it was even my first time injecting an Intraosseous infusion (IO) on a mannequin. It felt awesome. Now I can do to my patients without fear. Parking was easy, there were refreshments and snacks available. The restroom was just around the corner. Signing up online was easy. Instructors and staff were friendly and helpful. I recommend this place and hoping they will continue with their great service and very informative classes. read more

I have visited many facilities for BLS over the years of renewal and I have finally found a facility I will consistently use for all my AHA certifications. I visited this location for my ECG & pharmacology certification. All of the staff were so nice! Joey was the instructor for the class and he was awesome. He was knowledgeable and passionate about the information of the class. He was patient and willing to answer any questions we had. I have learned ECG many times but he was able to put it into simple terms making it easy to follow along. In addition, their information packet was the class was perfect. Easy to understand and follow along. Joey mentioned they've been adding more realistic strips to the class which was another nice addition because as we know ecg strips in real life are not as clean. Overall 5/5 for this facility, their staff & the content of the class. I will surely be doing my BLS, ACLS & any AHA certifications here. read more

Needed to renew my BLS and thanks to my co-worker, she recommended I give this place a try. Easy to book your course and complete any testing required beforehand. Since I needed to renew my BLS, I chose the option to complete testing online and go in for the skills check. Tony (Anthony) was my trainer and he made the entire process seamless! The staff is very friendly and following COVID-19 protocols. Reasonable pricing and plenty of available course dates. I would highly recommend this place for any CPR renewal. I will definitely be back when it is time to renew!! Thanks again, Tony!! read more

I have been an RN for almost 10 years and have been to multiple CPR Cert businesses. SureFire CPR has been by far the best!!! First of all, Ryanne was absolutely amazing. She was informative and really worked hard to get me scheduled in on my off days. She honestly went above and beyond to help me and I am truly pleased and impressed with her service. I was scheduled with Brandon for ACLS and BLS. He was also amazing! So knowledgeable, friendly, professional and helpful. I have PALs coming up and will leave a review for that instructor after the class. Thanks so much for the pleasant experience. You have a lifelong customer here! read more

Over the past 4 years, I've completed various certification such as BLS, ACLS, PALS, and Hospital Fire Safety. I've enjoyed each class and the instructors make the courses fun, informative, and interactive. Their goal is for you to pass but also to feel comfortable to step in real life situations. All of my instructors have been paramedics and they truly are the pros when it comes to emergency situations. They share stories and give real life scenarios to help apply the concepts. As for ACLS and PALS, SureFire has a great ECG system and the instructors do a great job of explaining the rhythms, how to identify them, and the proper treatments. In addition, the mannequin is hooked to their system to ensure the rate and depth of your compressions are correct. During their scenarios, they will switch back and forth between rhythms and it is expected to identify the rhythm and the treatment within seconds. I find this very helpful because this aligns with real life patient care. read more

I've been coming to SureFire CPR to renew my BLS and ACLS since I was in nursing school almost 10 years ago! The instructors are so knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. I always learn something new and I love hearing everyone's real-world experiences with CPR! It's a casual environment and I feel super comfortable when I'm there. They're always stocked with snacks and drinks, and you can take bathroom breaks whenever you want. They make learning/relearning the material such a breeze and really fun. They also offer a 10% discount when you renew! Not too shabby. I highly recommend Surefire CPR for healthcare professionals of all levels, whether you're a nursing student or have been working in healthcare for many, many years. read more

We just left the best CPR class ever! My daughter and I took the class with instructor, Samantha aka "Swish" and she was so knowledgeable and kind. We left feeling better prepared and confident to handle an emergency situation. She empowered us to take control of an emergency and confident in our skills that she taught us. Thank you!!!! read more

SureFire CPR - CPR Classes Near Me - Orange, California

I attended my fire safety class today via Zoom, the instructor was Zack. I just want to say great job on the presentation! He made it fun, interesting, & beyond informative. It didn't even feel like a 4 hour course, it flew by fast & it didn't bore you to sleep. Lol I seriously learned so much & i was able to take notes to help with the little quiz at the end. I will definitely always choose, & recommend SureFire to anyone looking to be certified! Thank y'all so much! Great job Zack!!! (: read more

Went today to get my BLS class out of the way. Good pricing and easy appointment booking online. But Swish was the best instructor, made the class entertaining and it didn't feel like we were there for a long time due to the laughs. I like coming to SureFire to get my cpr out of the way, always a great experience, thank you! read more

I came to renew my BLS license here and I was very impressed. Registering was quick and easy. I appreciated the reminder text and emails, along with the clear instructions on what to expect from the class. My instructor Swish provided the perfect kind of energy for classes like these, and it made the time go by quickly. She was funny, informative and encouraging. I feel much more confident in my skills. I would definitely recommend taking a class with her to anyone, new and returning. read more

The class was fun, and you learned a lot from instructor Swish. She is the best instructor ever!

Update: The owner, Zack, reached out to me immediately after reading about my situation to apologize and ensure that this won't happen to anyone else in the future. He informed me that he will set a new policy in place with his instructors and make sure mothers are accommodated properly from now on. I felt a lot better after speaking with him and felt that he was truly being sincere with his apology. I will gladly take future courses with SureFire when I need to recertify from here on thanks to Zack! read more

Awesome learning environment and experience renewing my BLS and ACLS. They give you a study guide outline of main points. The lecture session, I would recommend for a good refresher. Our instructor Joey was outstanding, was not intimidating, had great slides and tested us throughout the class with questions for test preparation, to make sure we can teach back. Highly recommend! read more

Did a quick research on CPR certifications nearby and this was one of the few places that had weekend CPR certifications. Reserving the class is very easy and done online. The 3 hours went by really quickly. The instructor, Justin, was very informative and structured the class very well. The class consisted of presentations, videos, and hands-on participation. At the end of the course, you have a short quiz to take and they go over the answers with you. You don't really need to take notes during the class. There were no notes passed out during the class but there is an online source you can download after which includes all the information you have learned. This was a very informative class and I learned a lot. Even if you don't need to be certified for anything, this is still a really good course for anyone to take. Just a note: for some reason neither Waze nor Google Maps can find their address, so just follow the directions from your email confirmation. read more

Swish seriously needs her own First responder's Netflix show!! I've been attending sure fire's BLS classes the last 6 years and today I had the absolute best instructor anyone could ever ask for. Swish was VERY knowledgeable, and hearing her brave story of saving her own Father's life is enough for me to want to learn from her and I've been in the medical field for almost 15 years. She's brave, smart, funny, charismatic, she captivated her audience and keeps them engaged. She's a lifesaving comedian, definitely of a kind. Thank you Swish I look forward to you teaching me again at my next recert! read more

This is a top-notch place to get your necessary certifications/renewal. I would definitely recommend it. My instructors names were George, Rachel, and Matt. They were all very knowledgable and helpful! I definitely left feeling very comfortable with the skills I learned. Also, I really appreciate that they are able to have in-person classes while also following proper CDC protocol. The classes are strictly 6 students at their separate desks and face masks were required. They also wiped down all the equipment and used gloves when needed! Thank you for keeping us educated and safe! read more

I just took my first CPR training course with Swish and she was the absolutely amazing and so friendly! She made it a fun learning experience and was open to any questions we had. Definitely made the class feel personable and made sure we left with confidence! I would recommend anyone to take a class with her! THANK YOU SWISH :) read more

Amazing amazing course! I'm going into residency and needed to get acls certified. I was worried about my capability about running a code in the hospital but SureFire made me feel SO comfortable after I left. The review guide given is great and our instructor, Robert did a fantastic job. He was enthusiastic throughout the entire in person course which ran from 8am to about 4:00pm and broke down everything into very basic terms with tricks o how he remembers things. One of the best instructors out there would 10/10 recommend! read more

Just completed my ACLS renewal with the instructor Carolyn. Carolyn is engaging, thorough, very knowledgeable and patient. She incorporates real world experience/examples into the content. I appreciated this because as a seasoned nurse, you're not always going to get a textbook picture of an arrhythmia, stroke, etc. What I also appreciated was the structure of the Mega Code. Again, Carolyn was patient and reassuring. She ensured that the hands on portion was practical but far from intimidating. I hope she sticks around because she is an excellent instructor. Surefire CPR in Orange is the facility I frequent for my certification needs. With each encounter, I am greeted by friendly and helpful staff. The facility is always clean. The complimentary snacks and drinks are a plus and a source of a much needed pick me up since class can be a few hours long. Overall, I am very pleased with the array of courses offered, the quality and experience of the instructors and variable locations. Thanks again guys! read more

Great place to get CPR renewal. Did the review online and hands on skills were done in 5-10 minutes. They are very professional and great experience. read more

Great training and service, my card was email within 24 hours and didn't have any issues

Swish is the best! I've done my CPR class at tons of places over the years and she's the first who didn't make me wanna fall asleep! Her jokes were totally on par and funny. Sometimes people get creepy. Five stars for swish! read more

This place is top notch for ACLS/BCLS/PALS certifications. I really like the fact that they offer flexible scheduling/weekend courses and bundle discounts. If you don't have much experience in emergency medicine, please don't worry...you will be fine as long as you go through the study guides they provide. It's imperative that you do this prior to the class. Also, pay close attention to all the clinical scenarios they present during the class since these are the main sources for the exam questions. I certainly recommend this place to all medical providers and will definitely return for future courses. James and Justin were great instructors BTW Update: Just finished a BLS course a few days ago. I truly appreciate them being open during the COVID-19 situation. Nick did a great job of teaching the course and Chelsea was awesome with all the emails/scheduling details. Will certainly be back! read more

SureFire CPR is absolutely amazing and deserve recognition for all they do and how much effort they put into their services! I once heard of this company through West Coast University as a nursing student and needed some renewal certifications for clinical rotations. I was in dire need of finding a course within 2-3 days and found some opening spots at the Orangewood location. Because my deadline to upload my documents was this past Friday, I was fortunate to enroll in a Fire Safety course and BLS course on the same day, one after another! I was so relieved and stressed out regarding my situation but SureFire gave me assurance of same day certification cards and wonderful staff to help me refresh my memory of material. A shout out to instructor Joey from my Hospital fire safety course; he was engaging and very down to earth, I appreciated how much he tried to help the class learn concepts and encourage participation. Another shout out to my instructor Nick from my BLS course who made the class very entertaining, and interactive. I appreciated your continued patience and learned a lot in our class, thank you! read more

I took my CPR certification class today and my instructor Swish was so beyond amazing! I was really nervous for the class since I had only ever taken an online class in high school for a health class. She made the class fun and interesting and shared real life experiences with us to help us understand how the material plays out in real life scenarios. If I could recommend any class with any instructor it would be this class with Swish. I felt so scared going in and felt so happy leaving! Loved it thank you swish! read more

I took ACLS here yesterday with two awesome instructors. They are very knowledgeable, approachable, and made you feel comfortable. My classmates and I really enjoyed this course. I also did my BLS at this location as well and had a great experience. Highly recommend. read more

SureFire CPR - ACLS class with awesome instructors! - CPR Classes Near Me - Orange, California

I had to take the BLS class for my medical assistant program that I am in and I was a little nervous since it was my first time taking a class like this and all but honestly the instructor (Swisher) really helped reassure me that I can do this. She definitely made me feel comfortable and confident if I was ever to be in a scenario where I had to use basic life support. The class is at least a 3 hour long class. Its informative but also pretty easy to follow along and she brought an upbeat energy to teaching us so the time flew by quick. Definitely would recommend this class to anyone who needs to or wants to take this class. Thank you Swisher! read more

Swish (Samantha Swisher) is amazing! Her class is the best, very creative way of teaching CPR. I can honestly say I enjoyed my BLS class renewal. I've been in the medical field for almost 15 years and Sure Fire is my favorite place to take my class. read more

Highly recommend SureFire CPR classes! They are fun, straight to the point, and you learn so much in the process. I took the CPR/AED class for my teaching credential with Edwin and he was the best at answering all our questions. Even gave us all a keychain CPR protective barrier. They have a snack area with granola bars, Keurig cups, and gummy snacks for a quick bite between class breaks. Another plus is that they give you your certificate that same day. Will becoming back in two years for sure! read more

Had to get my PALS recertified, but alas as I had let it lapse, I had to retake the entire course. Given how painfully long I remembered my initial certification being, you can imagine just how enthused I was by the prospect of a 12 (eep) hour course. Fortunately, the course didn't wind up actually being 12 hours. Not only that, it was nicely paced with well timed breaks while still being very efficient. The instructor (Joey) was pleasantly upbeat, and explained things clearly without any judgement when people weren't sure of the answers. It's still a long day, but they even provided snacks and coffee to help the hours pass a little less painfully! After having gone through my own initial PALS certification (and hearing horror stories of two day courses?!), this wound up being as painless and pleasant as possible. Little surprise this is one of the officially sanctioned PALS certification centers for my future workplace! If you have to get your PALS certification, you can't go wrong with this place (that said, I've definitely given myself a calendar reminder to renew in two years so I hopefully will never have to completely recertify again!). read more

I came here to get my ACLS certification and I have to say that it was a great decision! My instructor Dan, a paramedic, is very knowledgeable, patient, and very understanding since our class consisted of 4 students, all 3 RN grads and a PA. We were all pretty much "fresh" out of school and did not have much experience on us, so we were able to work together and get through the course as smoothly as possible. When you sign up for the course, you will get a confirmation email. Be sure to read it! There's a link to a study guide (I recommend that you print it out) and a link to a Pre-Course Assessment quiz just to let the instructor know what areas to focus on. I just knew that my EKGs were weak; and Dan S. spent probably a good hour on explaining to us about it. But anyways, the ACLS cert class format was pretty much going through the videos, reviewing the basics of BLS and hands-on practice with the dummies. There's no judging here as everyone is here to learn - that was what I enjoyed about the class. I never had a feeling that I was raising my hand to ask a "dumb" question. We're all future medical professionals, and the classroom environment was conducive to learning. My memorable part about this class is how the instructor made the Megacode learning a game for us. It was definitely interactive and educational. Keep in mind that this is a 12 hour class, so obviously you will be cramming in a bunch of information in one day: medical algorithms, medications and dosages, heart rhythms, etc. Honestly, what you put into it is definitely what you get out of it. Never stop asking questions! You're here to learn and definitely make that $186 worth it! The classroom is small, but definitely homey once you get to know your "little family" over the span of 12 hours. I definitely recommend this for those who are getting certifications. I'll definitely come here in 2 years for my ACLS re-cert! =) TIP - you can get 20% off if you enter your school or Hospital employer code online. read more

Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable instructors. They made me feel comfortable at all times, and I never felt stressed out during class. I've been at other companies that made you feel anxious about getting things wrong, but the instructors here are very constructive and always positive. Definitely will be coming back for future classes. read more

This was my first time using SureFire CPR and was really impressed! Their OC office was clean and they even offered coffee and light snacks! They had a variety of classes to pick from and even have Saturday and Sunday classes too. Their instructor Edgar was energetic, knowledgeable and made the 3 hour class less dreadful. Would definitely recommend their services. Thank you SureFire CPR! Nurse P. read more
