I want to say this was more than just a mandated work training. I have been to CPR/First Aid…read moretrainings over the years for either work, coaching and other parent volunteering functions and this training was by far the most memorable and enjoyable. Information and content was primarily the same with minor tweaks and updates. So whats the difference? The delivery, the host, THE TRAINER! Leo was great, the combination of his demeanor and delivery was pleasant and kept my attention. Leo also used scenarios and class participation to keep us all engaged. With that being said it is Leo's real world and first hand experience was what made it memorable, the info sinks and sticks that much more. Leo, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences, it makes me a confident deliverer of life saving techniques if i am ever needed to. See you in 3 years!

Three years later and the experience was as great as I remembered. Leo creates a welcoming and…read morecomfortable learning environment. I highly recommend Health First for any certifications (BLS, ACLS, PALS, etc.).

Some printouts made so sloppy that we couldn't read half of what was on it. I do not recommend taking any of their classes; the teachers are trying to do their best but they can't change this unpleasant environment. I don't know about other Red Cross locations but this is for me close to a nightmare.

This is a convenient place to renew your BLS certification. I have used them in 2024, and again in…read more2026. It has been so easy both times. You complete the online skills section first, and then go in person to test hands-on skills with the mannequins. If you know what you're doing, you can get in and out in 10-20 minutes! I highly recommend this business. Inside the office is clean and quiet - there's only 2 stations, and when I did my training I was the only person there. Highly recommend using Safety Training Seminars for your BLS/CPR.

The worst customer service ever! Not sure why other sites show mostly 5 star reviews, and somehow…read morethe low-1 star ones seem to "disappear"??? Don't use them for "training", they suck- telephone operators don't have a clue what they're doing, nobody returns phone calls, phones go unanswered- worst of all, you take the training online, show up to the site to do the skills training part, and their computer/manikins are inoperable, won't work, cannot turn on- and I waited close to an hour there and nobody was able to help. So inconvenient! Took time off work, and now delayed getting my certificate. Lacking professionalism.

Got an IT job somewhere and learned more in less than a year by my self than the two years plus I spent here. I'm not even in IT anymore.

I don't even know what to say except stay away from this "college". It is a complete waste of…read moremoney, and IS NOT all it is hyped up to be. All they care about is the money, and not the students. I needed my diploma and other certifications they had of mine for a job, and they almost didn't give it to me because my large chunk of money I owed the school wasn't paid off. Ridiculous. I could have my RN by now had I stayed away from this place. I'm now 20k in debt for a program that A) I can't even transfer my credits out and B) is honestly about equal to high school classes. The only classes that were helpful in my program were my medical terminology, CPR and clinical classes. Most of the teachers, except for a select few, are awful and teach you by literally reading out of a textbook. The financial aid staff are very rude, and they don't really help you find a job as promised. Most of the classes you take are not very necessary (depending on your program) and are more of a "take these so the college gets more money" classes. Also, I barely even used the books that cost me a large chunk of $$ as well. I learned 10x more in the first month I started working as an MA from the doctor I worked for, than I did in 2 years at empire. I regret going here, and often think about suing them to pay back my student loans.... I now work as an LVN and graduated from empire in 2017 with my MA AA. Save your money, and go through the JC or Sonoma state where you actually will learn something, and have a better path/connections to your future.

Oh Gawd No! Don't go! Not to save money, or to help the students practice. Just don't do it! I got…read moremy hair cut here, and I could tell the student barely cared, the hair cut was imbalanced, lopsided, I looked like I had a mullet. AWFUL! She tried to tell me that she was finished. I asked to see her instructor. Immediately her instructor gave her a personal lesson on one side of my head, and said for her to do the same on the other side. Haircut looked WORSE! I was so upset - I had to wait weeks and weeks for it to grow out so I could seek out a PROFESSIONAL to cut my hair and fix it! Look people, pay the money, get a better haircut from a salon!
