I always dread renewing my ACLS every 2 years, it's such a gruesome experience with megacodes, EKG…read morereadings, etc. I usually get my renewal through work but this year I decided to try something different. I wanted to try a renewal outside of work with the hopes that it is less stressful. I came across this place through my Yelp search based on the high ratings. When I went to the website, the option to renewal was online portion + skills assessment. I was worried about the skills assessment. I purchased it and scheduled my skills assessment. The online portion is something I have done in the past with my other renewals which really helps prep you with the algorithms and lots of feedback. The online portion is nice because you work at your own pace, on your own time. You must completed the online portion in order to do the skills assessment in person. Before my skills assessment, I received very helpful e-mails to help me pass my skills assessment. They had some videos and helpful tips in the e-mail. When I arrived to the location at San Ramon, I was a little confused as I easily missed the door and was very lost. I called the phone number and they were very helpful in guiding me on where to go. There is NO instructor there, it's just a manikin hooked up to the computer that assesses the skill. I thought the videos helped me pass the skills assessment. I did have to re-do some sections a couple times but the feedback from the computer helped me and I think the e-mail tips clicked after doing the skills assessment. Overall, the skills assessment was definitely less stressful than I expected. It wasn't that bad. I definitely plan to return to do my BLS + ACLS renewal here, it's very chill and at your own pace! I love it. This really eases my anxiety regarding renewal, I would highly recommend for anyone that wants to renew! Everything is at your own pace. You do only have an hour to do the skills assessment, which I felt was PLENTY of time! The skills assessment focuses mainly on the breaths/compressions of CPR and 2:1 teamwork.

I finally decided to take the plunge and do ACLS. Very similar to BLS, except the pediatric…read moreportion you don't have to do. I went to the Castro Valley location, the same location I have used since last year. I love that this location has its own little parking lot in the back and you just follow the instructions which are emailed to you in order to access the office where you will do your skills testing. Not that this is a dealbreaker, but just be aware there is no restroom at this location. Last year I recall there used to be, but they have now locked the adjoining door so you cannot access the restroom if you need to go. The other thing was it doesn't seem that the cart the mannequin is on is able to be moved; or maybe I just couldn't move it? I went in the morning hours and the sun was shining right in my eyes. Just be forewarned if you decide to go to the Castro Valley location - - use the bathroom first and you may want to bring some sunglasses just in case LOL

This is the first time I've done my BLS through Safety Training Seminars. The place that I usually…read moredo it at I believe no longer is operating. My team lead at work told me about Safety Training Seminars and how she always renew her BLS here, so I thought I'll give it a try. I was happy to see that there was a location right down the street from my house. I scheduled my skills training for a Saturday, so I started to do my online course about 2 weeks prior. The online course was really thorough and informative. I feel that although I've done this a couple times, I still feel like I learn something new each time. During my skills training at the facility that they have, I was given instructions on how to enter the facility. I was having trouble getting the emergency locked box opened to get the key to enter the place, so I called the number for assistance. Everybody whom I encountered when I called was so nice to me. When I called to let them know that the code I was given didn't work, the person whom I spoke with assisted me in finding another one. I got in and had a bit of difficulties but after that, once I got started it was smooth sailing! I'll be coming back to do my BLS here in the future!

My skills test was with a VAM and I thought it was extremely helpful testing that way. It is able to monitor the correct depth and timing so I can get a better idea of how it would actually be if I had to perform CPR. I would definitely return when I need to renew again!

Ramesh has a gift for breaking things down into simple, easy to remember terms. For the first time, I fully understood that what we're doing during CPR is helping pump blood to the brain until paramedics arrive. That realization honestly blew my mind. It shifted everything from just memorizing steps to actually understanding the purpose behind each action. This training was especially meaningful for me. Years ago, my little brother almost choked in front of me, and it left me deeply traumatized. Since then, I've always felt insecure and scared in emergency situations. Ramesh shared his personal story during the course, and it made the material feel human and real. He created a safe, supportive environment and explained everything in a way that felt manageable instead of overwhelming. For the first time, I can confidently say I know what to do if someone needs CPR. I'm so grateful for this course and highly recommend Ramesh to anyone looking for clear, compassionate instruction.

Two years had passed and I had to re-certify for CPR. Because of Covid I ended up taking a…read morepreliminary CPR class online with American Safety and Health Institute(ASHI). In order to be completely certified I had to be evaluated so ASHI gave me three names in the Oakland area one of which was Salvador Garcia(S&K solutions). About three months passed from the time I received my online certification to the time I met with Salvador. To refresh my knowledge, I studied my notes and reviewed videos expecting that Salvador would jump right in with the evaluation of my skills. Instead Salvador took time to take me through the entire skill set. The teaching was interactive so instead of just Sal talking and me listening Sal had me practice every step of the way. You never know how you will do in an emergency but I believe my chances of saving a life are better because of Sal. If not for Covid I could have taken the class directly with Sal.
