Recommended by coworker. BLS classes are offered on a walk-in basis daily (weekdays). $70 for renewal, cash only. Parking is easy. Glad the class covers all the essential points. Grace was very nice and explained things clearly. The place was clean. Happy to see an espresso machine for the morning. Lol. Definitely will come back in 2 years! They also offer ACLS and PALS classes. read more

I recently completed my BLS/ACLS renewal with Angelo, and it was a great experience. He does an excellent job of condensing the material into a clear, easy-to-review format that really helps reinforce the most important concepts without feeling overwhelming. The entire session was well-organized and stress-free, which made it much easier to stay focused and confident throughout the training. I would definitely recommend Angelo to anyone looking for an efficient and supportive instructor for their certification or renewal. read more

FIVE STARS -- THE BEST IN THE GAME! Villanueva CPR is literally the best in the business. If you're looking for top-tier training that's thorough, engaging, and rooted in real-life expertise, look no further. Angelo is a phenomenal instructor who goes above and beyond every single time. He doesn't just teach CPR--he empowers you to feel confident, capable, and ready to save lives. Whether you're new to CPR or renewing your certification, this is the gold standard. Thank you, Angelo, for your passion, patience, and professionalism. I won't go anywhere else. Highly recommend -- 10 out of 10 experience! read more

Hands down the absolute best place for ACLS, BLS, and PALS. Angelo is the GOAT. He's a brilliant instructor, and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Bummed I only get to see him every two years! read more

Started coming to VILLANUEVA CPR several years ago when I first moved to the ER and needed ACLS and PALS certifications. Angelo came highly recommended by my co-workers and I've been coming here ever since. Angelo's teaching style is straightforward and concise. He focuses on what's important and teaches in a way that makes it easy to understand. In addition, Angelo doesn't just teach the material but provides practical information about it that I can bring back and put into practice at work. Angelo is organized, responds quickly, and is very accommodating. Classes are super easy to book. Not only that, the classroom is clean, there's a private parking lot with a lot of spaces, and class sizes aren't that big. Super convenient! My work offers ACLS/PALS classes so they no longer reimburse us for classes taken somewhere else, but I continue to attend Angelo's classes because he's the best! If you're from the South Bay and are in need of certification/recertification - look no further. Villanueva CPR is the place to go. read more

Angelo will take great care of you for your certification needs. Very friendly, timely, affordable. I highly highly recommend.

This is my second time renewing my ACLS and BLS. Angelo is very knowledgeable and informative. I have learned beyond ACLS. The price is very reasonable and I would recommend this place to everyone looking to take ACLS and BLS classes. read more

I love renewing my BLS here. The staff us very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place

Angelo was amazing! He was able to get me and a group of friends in very last minute. We got our BLS/ACLS/PALS certifications at this location. We are still students but he made sure we understood everything he was saying. Angelo is very intelligent and explains things in a manner that makes you truly understand the concepts. We left the classes with much more knowledge than when we came in. Highly recommend this place! read more

Did my BLS and ACLS here! Angelo does an amazing job of breaking everything down in a simple and straight forward way that makes you learn and retain everything! Thank you again! read more

Villanueva CPR is great place for your BLS renewal. Grace is so precise and informative during her BLS class. She's also so kind. The facility has plenty of parking right in front and is so clean. This is the only place I go to for my renewal. No reservations required, just show up at 8:30am and they only take cash. Thank you Grace and Villanueva CPR, see you for next renewal! read more

Angelo has been my ACLS/BLS instructor for years! Best instructor ever! He teaches the material with mastery, passion, and dedication. Highly recommend ! Will see him again in 2 years! read more

Always convenient to get my BLS renewal done here. No appt or reservation needed. They offer the BLS training everyday I believe at 8:30am (maybe call to confirm that, but I've gone on a Sat before, not sure about Sun). Grace is a great instructor. Knowledgeable & friendly. Will def recommend coming here! I always come prepared with cash $70, but I believe they also accept card with processing fee. I received my certificate/card via email same day. read more

After years of going to Villanueva CPR, I can confidently say that they are one of the most professional and thorough review of ACLS and BLS for my renewal. They have a lot of great equipment for CPR. The classes are small and it gives you very personalized training. The class is always enjoyable and informative. I feel like I learn something new every class! thank you. read more

Went for my ACLS certification and was blown away by the way Angelo taught the class: concise but emphasizing the *why*. He also taught in a way that was easy to remember. I am definitely coming back here again for my PALS certification. Pro tip: Get the most up to date book. read more

I completed my BLS/ACLS class with Angelo, study materials are provided prior to coming in which was helpful to be able to study and learn at my own pace. He was extremely helpful and knowledgable as well. I will be back in 2 years for my renewal! read more

Angelo did my PALS and he was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot from him. He demonstrated everything that is needed.

just renewed my BLS with grace, she is amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. day went fast because she made it interesting and fun

I've been going to Villanueva CPR for my BLS/Re-cert for 5 years and Grace consistently delivers the info as a refresher spot on and to the point. The E-certificate is emailed to you same day. Plenty of parking, and they also cover ACLS, PALS, First Aid, A.E.D. I always call first to verify times and class dates. Highly recommend this business 10++/10! read more

I paid 200 for ACLS/BLS renewal for a class being offered in July 2023, I had to reschedule per their agreement and notified them; rescheduling is fine if done within 30 days of initial payment. I have sent about 3 or 4 text message inquiring about a future class, and I have not heard back, finally on 7/28/2023 I filed for a refund from my bank. Last time I took this class in 2021, it took longer than normal to get my electronic card. I wont go back at this point, this is very unprofessional. read more

Today, I had the pleasure of renewing by BLS with Angelo and is team. I am so pleased with the level of service and ease of scheduling. Furthermore, I am glad that they are within walking distance to my home. Thank you, Angelo for a great class. I will certainly be back for my ACLS renewal. Warmly, Alexandra read more

Angelo worked with me on my first job here in US, he is consistent with his teaching, very knowledgeable and uses actual scenarios, his studio is clean , would hughly recommend this place for All your needs, you will actually take home alot fro. His teaching read more

Great experience. I was referred here by some emergency medicine physicians that I know at Harbor-UCLA, and this place is located nearby. I'm a pediatric intensivist so I am accustomed to running codes and doing PALS, but I needed ACLS certification for a new job and was fortunate to come here and be trained by Angelo. The pace was definitely appropriate for me. It may be quick for people who are less familiar with the subject matter, but I appreciated that his course hit the highlights and felt like a good use of my time. I received my ACLS e-card promptly after the course was finished. There is ample parking out front, and there are snacks and coffee to keep your tummy happy during class. read more

Definitely recommend to get your certs out of the way & Villanueva CPR was very informative and very helpful! 10/10!

Really enjoyed the class! It was informative, clean, organized. This is definitely a class you learn necessary skills in and I like that they provided dummies to practice cpr on! Will be coming back for future renewals! read more

I have been going to Angelo for about 6 years now. I have attended his BLS, ACLS, and PALS classes. He is super knowledgeable. You can tell he loves to teach. He super nice and open to questions. He is also hilarious and super funny. He tells relevant information with real world experience. I've learned so much every time he teaches. He makes concepts super easy to understand. read more

Pre test/assignment is given before going to the site. I have been going there for the past 12 years. Excellent!

Angelo is an engaging and effective teacher! I really enjoyed his emphasis on different aspects of ACLS that sometimes get lost in content. His review on the 12 lead ecg was so helpful! I am definitely recommending and returning here. My old recert place was good, but Villanueva CPR was great! read more

Excellent class! I always renew my BLS here. Grace is very knowledgeable and class was well organized.

I took my PALS certification from villanuevaCPR and the whole process was so easy. From booking to the actual class! Everything was very covid safe and Angelo did a great job with the class and study guide. Would 100% recommend! read more

Another spot on through Yelp. I needed to get my ACLS and found this place. Signing up process was easy via their website or you can call them up to schedule the class. Angelo contacted me via email the next day after I signed up for the class (signed up late the night before). Told me what I needed to bring to class. Arrived to class and wasn't sure what to expect from the facility. Angelo greeted me the moment I walked in (very nice.. off to a good start). Signed in and was told to help myself to some coffee, beverages and snack (sweet, I forgot my coffee and snack at home). I wasn't going to make it through the class without my coffee nor would I have the energy to do any chest compressions for the practical. The facility and mannequins were clean. (Yes bathroom too.) Course was very informative. He explained everything very clearly and was medically knowledgable when he was asked questions even when they were unrelated to the course. The class was small so time rolled by so much faster. It helped that he was funny too. He took the time to explain proper technique and correct any student that needed the help. How effective would it be for taking the class and end up doing it all wrong in the real world? I ended up renewing my BLS at the same time. Killed 2 birds with one stone. BLS is pretty much the foundation for ACLS, so why not get it over with too. He laminated all our cards before we left. That was nice. I would definitely recommend this place to other people. If I need a PALS certification or renew my ALCS/BLS, I'm going back here. read more

Best bls class ive ever taken. I was a lil concerned with taking it during a pandemic but the instructor made sure everything was clean. She was very nice and friendly. Moving forward I would be doing all renewals here and also recommending all my friends and family. read more

Sooooo, I have been attending ACLS classes, but was still not confident handling a code blue. I did my share but with lots of anxiety. The return demonstration at the previous classes was always frightening for me. I felt comfortable in this class. Special emphasis was placed on the most important pointers. It was engaging , and Angelo was knowledgeable and excited to share with us. I will never attend an ACLS CLASS ANYWHERE ELSE! read more

Less stress ACLS , Angelo very knowledgeable (I have learned a lot and will definitely apply to my work) not boring. Will surely recommend to my friends, co workers and family. read more

Great place to get your certifications. Classes were done in a timely fashion, information was presented in a clear and concise way. Villanueva knows his stuff, and is great at teaching it to students so they really grasp the contact. Definitely recommend this place, will go back for my recertification's! read more

As a RN for almost a decade, I find that it is rare to be entertained and feel like I learned enough to make the class worthwhile to attend. Mandatory certifications often lack these qualities, but Angelo offered something a little different. Greeted with snacks, keurig coffee, tea and a clean, professional atmosphere. Nice location, updated mannequins, relaxed delivery of information that is sensicle. Presentation often contains a nugget or two of fresh ideas that make this interesting- not painful. I would say price, presentator, place... all good here! Allows BLS certification to be combined into ACLS class at a discount... Let me switch class dates last minute. Allows for 1 switch within same month... Laminates your cards... bonus. Don't think I would even consider a different place for my certification needs. If you are in need of a easily educational experience, Villanueva CPR is your answer. read more
