I shopped around before booking our group class with Brian. I booked him because his pricing was comparable, he was able to come to our studio for the class and he was able to secure date and time that was convenient for my team. I highly recommend CPR solution! Brian, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. He came on time, answered questions I had before my team showed up and made the class fun. All the equipment we used, from his mannequins to AEDs, were clean and in perfect condition. He's professional, very knowledgeable and most importantly, my team mentioned how they really learned from him. The knowledge we learned from Brian is invaluable and we feel confident and comfortable putting this life saving skill to use....hopefully never! See you in two years, CPR solution! read more

Every two years I have re-take my CPR certification. I have that time of year and this time around we had to find our own place to go to. BEST CLASS EVER!!!! If you need to get your CPR certification-- then look no further than CPR Solution. Brian is so great!! The class was not boring by any means. I understood everything he taught and the way he used the videos in conjunction with his teaching was great. He answers his calls and response to questions quickly. He really did make the class fun and comfortable. Guess in two years I won't have to dread get my re-certification. Also, he was very reasonable priced- no hidden charges and he ensure I got a receipt so I get reimbursed. THANKS SO MUCH BRIAN!!!! read more

Man! I was dreading this class, but Brian made it so much easier for me and taught really well. He's a very personable guy and what makes him better is that he's a very good teacher. He definitely knows what he is doing and helps the students understand the proper technique and takes the time to help correct them. I'm also really happy about the pricing of this class, they are fair and competitive. I'd recommend Brian to anyone trying to further their professional knowledge or taking this course for other educational reasons! I feel confident now in my CPR skills after taking this class! read more

***Best CPR class I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO*** Not only did the teacher (Brian) know his stuff but he was really caring about you knowing your CPR stuff, I understand having to teach a class over and over anyone can put on a DVD and say watch this and figure it out; however Mr. Brian would stop mid class to give you fun facts about how to use CPR and Pop quiz on what is the right and wrong way, he was always super processional, friendly, and really knew his stuff. If you are reading this Mr. Brian I will keep coming to you for my future renew in my CPR & First Aid class. Strongly suggest this CPR class Thank you again my friend :) read more

Brian was a wonderful instructor! He made the class enjoyable and made sure we got the skills down! I learned so much from his class and I highly recommend this place! Thank you Brian and Alisha for all you do! read more

This review is long over due. We had The CPR Solution out to our business for a small group training in September 2017. Brian and Noly were easy to work with. The provided a fun environment to learn as well as a pressure-free environment. read more

Brian! An amazing instructor who simplifies and desires to educate people in an effective and efficient way! I registered for a Thursday class, on a Wednesday, and waited for a confirmation email with information about the payments and class. Yet, I did not receive one so I emailed Brian directly. He immediately responded within minutes and let me know the class was canceled. He apologized and gave me alternative solutions. Brian suggested that I take the Blended Course and he allowed me to come to the Anaheim location the very next day, which was extremely kind of him to do. I ended up registering for the Blended Course which was half online and the other half was completed in a Skills Course with Brian at the Anaheim location. The online course was a little overwhelming because it had a lot of information. It took a couple of hours to go through each section. When I completed the online course, I printed out the Online Completion Certificate and finished the Skills Course with Brian. He was extremely kind, friendly, and informative. I was the only one who he trained but he covered the material with great precision and simple understanding. I feel very comfortable with the online material because he spent an hour going over any questions I had. I finished within an hour. It was a great experience due to Brian's friendliness and helpfulness. I highly recommend contacting him directly through e-mail or phone and he will offer you the best way to earn your CPR certification. Thanks Brian for providing a great service. I have learned a lot and I feel prepared! read more

Brian and Noly were amazing!! They made the CPR and First aid training so fun and it was easy to follow. All the needed content was there and everyone enjoyed and was very happy with the class. We asked them to do an on-site training for our company and they were very flexible, prepared, and very knowledgeable. Will DEFINITELY recommend to everyone!! read more

The class was definitely not for older health care professionals who have back or ankle problems. We were up and down from the floor many times. The mannequins could have been up on a table. The company charges for moving a class even though a service has NOT been provided. read more

I need to renew my BLS card every 2 years like any other nurses. I won't look for any other BLS courses anymore. One of the best classes I have ever taken and Brian is a wonderful instructor going above and beyond what you need to know. read more

Brian was very personable, funny, and made sure everyone understood what was going on and how to do it before moving on. This class definitely gave me the confidence to administer basic life support when needed. I feel like I won't forget what I have learned unlike my previous class which felt almost useless. Would recommend read more

Was nervous about going back to school. Had to get my CPR Certification to become an EMT. Brian had been highly recommended to me by the American Heart Association. This was such a plus! His class was the perfect combination of instruction and challenge. As an instructor, Brian teaches people how to learn, not just remember. Brian's class gave me the confidence I needed to move forward with my goals to become an EMT. Thank you Up Of SoCal!! :) read more

Brian was an amazing CPR instruction. He truly cares about student learning. He does not rush things but still keeps the class entertaining. He's very patient with everyone and makes sure that all students are on the same page. He takes the time to focus on individuals who need more help. The class was organized down to the T. Although I was there for renewal, taking Brian's class further boosted my confidence in providing BLS in any setting. Highly recommend! read more

This place is awesome! I thought I had registered for the class, but I had only reserved a spot. Even though this meant I had to fill out some extra paperwork, Brian was extremely sweet about it and he even stayed later than he was supposed to to help me get CPR certified anyway. He taught very effectively, and the mannequin practice was high tech and realistic. I did the blended learning, so I only had an hour session here, but it was great! Come here to get your CPR certification! read more

Brian made the class super fun and the info simple to retain. I feel more confident in my ability to use the skills in this class in the real world! I forgot to go to my class last week because I forgot so I just paid for another one because of their policy. Brian pulled me in after class and told me that he was going to refund me my money so I didn't have to pay twice! They definitely care about their customers. I highly recommend. The price is probably one of the best as well! read more

Awesome place for CPR/First Aid training. Completely education yet still light and fun! Felt super comfortable applying what I had learn and left with no questions. read more

Love love love The CPR Solution. By far the best cpr training course I've taken. Instructor is amazing! Very approachable. I've been twice now and won't go anywhere else. My husband came with me this most recent time to learn and he loved it as well! We both feel very prepared. Thank you Brian and Noly! read more

The instructor Brian was great. The class was a breeze and he really made sure everyone understood and used the correct technique.

Brian is an excellent instructor who offers a relaxed learning environment (relaxed not slack!). His main goal is to make sure you learn the correct way to do CPR. I have been to many CPR classes and recertification classes over the past 20 years and I must say that CPR Solutions is at the top! read more

Such a fun class and very informative. I had to take this class for my training as a personal trainer and I can say it was so helpful. I definitely recommend taking this class. read more

Took Brian's class for the second time! He is friendly, precise and thorough. His class is enjoyable and easy to follow. Love his teaching style. Will be taking his class when it's time to renew again! Thanks Brian! read more

I just got my BLS/CPR certification from Brian's class in Anaheim--it was my second time coming back to his class and I was so happy to get the reminder email about my renewal! Brian is an excellent instructor! Even before the reminder email came, I was planning to return to his class for my certification because I remembered that I really enjoyed his course when I first took his class. His classes start right on time and end right on time; he's funny, friendly and respectful; and he breaks down the material in a fun but easy-to-remember lesson (and yes, you definitely want to remember this class!)! Even though you will probably be taking the class with people you don't know, Brian makes everyone feel very comfortable while doing the training. He makes sure everyone practices until they get the technique right and gives lots of great feedback, so you'll less likely be a deer-in-headlights if you ever have to perform CPR. He remembered me from 2 years back too! It was a very warm welcome :) It was a pleasure coming back to your class, Brian, Thank You!! read more

Just took this class and honestly it's the best. I had been looking to take CPR/ First aid classes that is located around my area and affordable to. learning through hands on experience with the mannequins was fun as Brian taught us how to properly give cpr to it and how to deal with it under control. Even though I seem quiet during class, I felt confident and felt like I had actually learn something from his class. I highly recommend this class to anyone that is on a budget and learn from the most knowledgeable guy that knows his stuff and is very passionate about it. read more

Brian is a great teacher knowing well what he is doing. He's clear and makes sure that you clearly understand the material. I had a CPR/AED/First Aid class and I feel it was the most useful class I had ever! read more

The best CPR class that I've taken! Brian is very thorough and really cares about making sure his students get the most out of the class, while making it engaging and high energy at the same time. I felt this class was more personalized and that Brian took the time to explain the reason behind the techniques so we could be the most effective. The class takes COVID precautions very seriously and he has enough class space, keeps class size to minimum, air filter system running and plenty of mask wearing and hand sanitizer. Highly recommend this class! read more

Been coming here for BLS certification for the last 4 years and there's a reason I keep coming back. They are outstanding in their delivery of teaching first aid/CPR and making you feel confident enough to apply what you learned in real life. Brian is a gem while teaching, he knows how to make you feel comfortable with the material. As long as I need BLS cert, I will come here to renew. I would give more stars if I could! read more

Brian was the best instructor I could've asked for! He kept the class lighthearted and enjoyable while making sure everyone was on the same page and engaged in the material. It never felt dull--even though it was early on Saturday morning. He's a really personable guy! I actually came a bit earlier and he made an effort to talk to me so he wouldn't "ignore me," which was really nice! He even recognized a student that had previously taken his course and that just shows how much he loves his job and cares about his students. I especially liked this class, not only because of Brian's charisma and spirit, but because he added real life applications that I know will definitely be useful when I enter the workforce. He knows what he's talking about and it's apparent that Brian really cares about educating individuals to the best of his abilities. DEFINITELY SIGN UP FOR HIS CLASS!!!!! read more

Brian is incredibly knowledgeable on providing CPR and very personable. He made the BLS skills portion very comfortable for us students, and gave great feedback if needed. He always opened the door for any questions, and made sure we wouldn't move on until everyone was brought up to speed. I feel a lot more confident now in responding to a scene that requires any basic life support. If you are looking to get CPR certified, give Brian the opportunity to teach you, you won't regret it! read more

I would totally recommend this class. The instructor is funny and also explains everything well. Very clean and punctual. The great part is you get the card the same day. Also opens on sat. read more

This is a great place to get your CPR certification renewed. Brian is knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. He starts and finishes on time and provides valuable information outside of the videos that he's required to display. He even sets up little mats for your knees when your practicing on the skills. Highly recommended! read more

Brian Guardamondo is the best CPR/AED instructor I have taken! Will continue to renew at CPR solution, particularly with Brian Guardamondo. He was patient, knowledgeable and light hearted. Definitely recommend! And the price is the most reasonable around. read more

Brian is good, funny, respectful and succinct. Started and ended on time, learned lots and need to forget some of the prior learning as the guidelines change. Thanks for the class! read more

Brian did an amazing job as our instructor! The class was efficient and easy to understand. Brian stopped to allow for questions many times throughout the course and gave detailed explanations. When I need to renew, I will definitely be back! read more

I enjoyed bls Cpr class with Brian! Website uses PayPal :) great instructor and person highly recommend. I took the class at his Anaheim location recommend through AHA website read more

Brian is amazing! The kindest and most helpful instructor. If you're looking for a BSL class this is the place to go!

I took my CPR class here with Brian as our instructor. He was awesome!!! He was efficient in his teaching and I was able to finish the course in just a few hours. He's also a personable guy who basically loves teaching and loves the fact that he's helping others potentially save someone's life. I would highly recommend you take this course with him. read more

Renewing my BLS certification with CPR Solution was a breeze. Brian Guardamondo made it so easy. The class was detailed and interactive. Brian made sure you will get all the training needed prior to leaving class with the certification. I registered for his class through American Heart Association (AHA). Unlike other centers, Brian would follow up right away and make sure you have all the details about the class. It was a easy process. The class starts on time and no chit chatting in between. Thank you for making it a wonderful and fun class. I highly recommended his class. read more

Had to take another course with Brian earlier than expected and of course it was perfect! He covers everything you need to know about CPR and really helps you feel comfortable doing what you need to do to try to save a life. I will definitely be back to renew my CPR certification when that time comes. But if you need to be certified, the CPR solution is the place to go! read more

I wrote a bad review before (ended up erasing it) because I scheduled a class and it was cancelled last minute in my opinion, I contacted the owner he was unprofessional and rude on the phone , I chopped it up to him having a bad day. I was taking the class to get rehired at Ucp, imagine my surprise when at the interview the bad review I left was discussed in length. So instead of resolving the issue that I was having he went ahead and told my former/potential employer about it. I stand by what I said in my first review and in this one, and of course I did not get rehired at Ucp obviously because of this. I would warn anyone who takes this class about the owner , and whatever you do , do not leave a bad review it could cost you your employment. Also, the classroom is about the size of a large closet so there cannot be any social distancing as claimed, if you are a girl you will pass the class with ease , if you are a guy you may be picked on , after taking the class in the past several times I would recommend any other provider. read more

Came here with a looming deadline after calling around for what would work best for me considering price, time and location. Quite happy with my choice and would come here again. I took the online learning portion with AHA and came here for skills exam. I appreciated the commitment to make sure we got our refresher on technique. No stress. read more
