Just took the Healthcare Provider CPR class yesterday.
The Course:
John dove right in and made the course as seamless as possible. He emphasized things that the training videos missed and chaperoned us through the hands-on training. Most importantly, he made information that was pertinent to saving lives digestible and engrained into our memory. I highly recommend this course to anyone who plans to be certified! Do it. Sign up tomorrow, heck sign up the day-of, if you can!
The Prep: (If you feel you need it)
I would suggest studying an online study guide, there is even one on quizlet, so that you can have the facts and numbers down before that way the hands-on training is more useful, but no more than an hour or two is necessary. This makes for a better experience. Also, it can be a confidence boost if it is your first time being certified or it has been a while since your last refresher.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I have PTSD from the CPR class I took with this company. The instructor, (think an Un-funny Chris Farley running around, hair disheveled, sweating) was a bully, abusive, and cruel. He picked on me the entire class, humiliating me for no reason whatsoever. After my experience with Safety Training Seminars, I will never step foot in one of their classes again. I will pay out of pocket, and drive to G-Damn Willits if that's what it takes to escape the embarrassment of this experience.
I was also disappointed that the students in class never called out the instructor on his antics. As healthcare professionals you would think they would be an advocate for their colleagues.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Marie, thanks a lot for this great review! We are really happy you took the CPR class with us. We understand that a lot of people have to take this class every two years, therefore, we make it fun and stress free. And we provide all the updates from the American Heart Association. Thanks a lot, we hope to see you in the PALS or/and ACLS class!

I have done an in person BLS course and the HeartCode ACLS and PALS courses with Safety Training Seminars. The HeartCode is so convenient and efficient. You complete the online portion of the HeartCode class at home. This can take 4-6 hours depending on how familiar you are with the material. They have an option to indicate how 'advanced' you are with the current topic at hand. Based on that, the class will be adjusted for your strengths and weaknesses. You can change the level of proficiency at any time throughout the course. I also love that I can go back and review the course, too. I will 100% be renewing all of my licenses through Safety Training Seminar in the future.

I've been in healthcare for 20 years. Which means I've done this 10 times. And I have to say this is the first time I actually enjoyed a CPR renewal class. The instructor made it easy, fast, and fun. I will definitely suggest this place to all my coworkers whenever they need to renew their healthcare provider card.

Terrific informative and interactive class. I would repeat with this group every 2 years and/or as needed. They were also prepared for current culture changes by enforcing hand washing... reassurance of clean supplies... and distancing.

This is an all business, no mess around style of class. The instructor followed the video to the detail and was very matter-of-fact in his instructions. He was knowledgeable but wasn't very personable. He acted like he had a duty and a purpose and no one would derail him. He rattled off facts and directions like a drill sergeant without the crassness. I appreciate the pragmatic and practical approach as I needed to complete my CRP recertification training for work. While I could always use more warmth and rapport building with the instructor, I also understood this type of personality didn't exist in my instructor. I was, however, able to walk away refreshed in the skills needed should I need to save a life using CPR /AED.

I had my BLS renewal yesterday with John in Novato. He's a great instructor, takes the time to highlight the important changes and also makes it fast-paced so that the time truly goes by quickly.
I greatly appreciated the changes to the AHA program this year making it more practical and about the roles of the team, more than lots of confusing numbers. I have been a BLS certified provider for over 30 years, but that's the first time I left the class feeling like I learned a lot and feel much better equipped in case of an actual emergency.
Thanks, John!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

This is the first CPR class I took where I wasn't completely waiting for the time to be up. This instructor was engaging and made the time fly by. The most important thing was his style of teaching that caused me to really pay attention .
