I took the Adult, Child & Infant First Aid & CPR/AED course today with Kat to renew my Certification. I work in the fitness industry so I need to do this course every two years. This was the most enjoyable CPR course I've ever taken! Kat is such an amazing instructor, extremely supportive and kind, very funny, and keeps the content entertaining. I was able to easily stay engaged and was very comfortable the entire time (I know courses can sometimes be intimidating). I walked away feeling educated and very prepared, and learned a lot despite this being another renewal for me! I plan on doing all future certifications with her, and I look forward to seeing her again! The space itself in Lafayette is very comfortable and inviting. My class happened to be all women, many doulas and moms, and everyone was so friendly. It had really good vibes despite talking about something so scary. Also, parking was easy, especially on a Sunday! Thank you, Kat! I am referring all of my friends to you and look forward to seeing you again!!!!!!!! read more

My daughter and her friends took this course and had a great experience! Kat was able to book us on a date we could all do. The class was interesting and taught the girls all the skills needed. I would highly recommend Kat! read more

Women from East Bay Postartum Doula Circle needed to re-certify CPR. Someone recommended Kat. We ventured out to Lafayette on a Sunday afternoon to get'r done. Hands down...the best CPR class ever! Kat is professional, knowledgeable and hilarious. This class will not be a time waste or a yawn. Get CPR trained with Kat! We can't thank you enough and will be back again! read more

The best BLS/CPR class in the Bay Area. Kat is exceptionally knowledgeable in so many aspects of life saving measures. On top of that, she's also very entertaining and enthusiastic about teaching ! Her new facility made this an event to actually enjoy... as in a nice getaway while we learned. read more

I'm a midwife an have to renew BLS regularly. This was the most fun I've ever had renewing my certification. My teenage son joined us and after the class he expressed he was nervous it was going to be intense, but he was pleasantly surprised to have so much fun. I feel like the fun really helps embody the learning and I feel much more confident in my skills after this refresher than I have in the past. Thanks Kat! read more

Our infant CPR class with Kat was great! She was engaging, knowledgeable, and super friendly. We feel so much better welcoming a little one to the family after taking her class. read more

So worth it! Kat goes beyond what most cover in CPR classes by explaining why and how CPR techniques work which really crystallized all the lessons in her course. She had practice dummies that gave us real time feedback for adults/infants, gave us actionable advice, and is a fantastic presenter that made the time fly by. I thought I just needed a refresher on CPR basics, but ended up learning much more than i expected. read more

Kat is by far the best CPR instructor I've had in my 10 yours as a healthcare worker. She's informative, happy to answer any and all questions with real life examples, time-efficient, but most of all, she's FUN! Her classes are very dynamic and she tailors to her audience for a custom class. I've taken multiple classes with her and will keep doing so! You know how you tell stories about your favorite teacher/professor and why they made learning so fun? Kat is just that, but the best part is she gives you information that can help save a life whether it's at your workplace, in your home, or out in the community. Thank you Kat, 10 stars!! read more

Interactive and very much hands-on class that was not one bit boring but fun and the two hours just flew by! read more

CPR With Kat - Practicing CPR - CPR Classes Near Me - Lafayette, California

What an engaging class! I've taken CPR online and many times in person and this is a best class I've taken by far. Kat is very knowledgeable and empowering. There was lots of opportunity to ask questions and PRACTICE skills on infant/child/adult dummies. Also she brought AEDs for us to explore & had super useful Heimlich maneuver simulators. I think everyone - especially parents and expectant parents - should take this class. I feel much more confident in my skills. read more

Highly recommend any class with Kat! We took the 2 hour Child and Infant CPR with Kat and it was highly valuable. Kat made the process approachable and less daunting, and it really helped to begin with Adult CPR. On top of this Kat is super responsive and we appreciate her flexibility with scheduling. Thanks Kat for your time - we learned so much and are feeling much more confident! read more

Great class! Kat keeps it super fun and relatable. I have done a few classes with her and she makes it easy to remember and is super responsive. Now I just sign right up with her every time my cert expires. read more

I took Kat's two hour class with my wife and it was awesome. Usually I get bored at these things, but it was the perfect blend of watching videos and hands on instruction. I appreciated Kat's personality and humor. I now feel prepared and confident should an emergency situation occur with cardiac arrest or choking for all ages! Thank you Kat! read more

Kat is amazing! This was the absolute best CPR/First Aid Class I've ever had hands down. Thank you for your consistency and thoroughness. The Nanny Tribe recommended her class, and I am so grateful they did. Multiple classes were offered however, the initial time slot did not fit the means of my schedule. Kat worked diligently with me, configuring the best time for us to meet via email. Our group had a blast within Spirited Play Labs. Once recertification rolls around, I would love to retake the class with you! Very informative, knowledgeable and engaging! If you are looking to PRACTICE and IMPLEMENT those skills of infant/child/adult CPR/ First Aid, look no further, your search ends here! read more

Hands on and fun. Kat uses multiple learning methods; lecture, videos and hands on. She answers questions throughout with respect and humor.

Kat's CPR class was informative, engaging and hands on and I left feeling prepared to help my kids, partner, and members of the community in the event of an emergency. These skills are so critical and I appreciate Kat teaching them in a tangible and fun way! Thanks Kat for running this class and helping me feel empowered!! read more

We took an infant & adult 2 hour CPR course at Brilliant Births in Berkeley with Kat and we're so glad we did. The course was a great intro to infant CPR and included adult CPR and choking as well. Thanks Kat! read more

Best CPR class I've taken. Kat is so knowledgeable and informative. She has so many amazing gadgets that we were able to use to learn-not your typical boring CPR class. I highly recommend her. It's such an important topic to know and Kat is the best! read more

My partner and I took Kat's class. It was very engaging and informative - she kept us engaged with a mix of video, information, and hands-on practice. Highly recommend for new or current parents. read more

I took Kat's 2 hour Infant & Child CPR workshop and found it to be very educational, actionable and empowering. I have 3 kids ages 6 and under and it has been a long time since I was educated in CPR. I highly recommend her course - she made the material and topics easy to digest and to remember. I came home and shared a ton of information with my husband as well and am encouraging him to sign up too. With kids at different ages/stages, I didn't realize the different ways that I would need to administer CPR or handle choking. Highly recommend this as a refresher for parents and/or caregivers! read more

Class with Kat is engaging, fun and so informative! Highly recommend anyone wanting to get certified to book a class with Kat. You won't regret it! read more

kat's cpr class was informative, and she was a great teacher. love that she has a space that is kid friendly. would recommend the infant and child CPR class to any parents or parents to be. read more

I wish that CPR/First Aid certifications needed to be updated more frequently just so we'd get to hang out more with Kat. Kat is great. Team Kat. read more

Kat is great - she makes everything very engaging, which will help me remember everything more! The 2 hours flew by, which is not typical of long workshops. And there was plenty of time to ask questions and get real practice. One caveat is that it was hard for me to actually do the practice, because I'm in my final weeks of pregnancy and kneeling on the ground is difficult. But I still got a ton out of the class, and am definitely happy I took an in-person class instead of an online one. Highly recommend this class and Kat as an instrucutor! read more

My husband and I took a class since our daughter was starting solids and wanted to be prepared in a situation where if she choked what we would do and CPR With Kat made me feel at ease especially being a new mom. I highly recommend everyone take a class she guided us with different situations what to do and at different ages. Also, we were able to have hands on learning and coaching while we were practicing CPR. One of the most valuable and useful classes I've taken in my life. read more

I considered a number of different CPR training options and am so glad I decided to choose CPR With Kat. Kat offered dynamic in-person, hands-on training, and even welcomed pre-mobile infants to the workshop. By the end, we felt more confident in choking mitigation and CPR for infants, children, and adults. Kat's workshop at Brilliant Births was the perfect choice for our new family when we didn't need professional certification, but wanted to refresh our skills and alternative childcare was not an option. My husband and I attended along with our 6-month-old baby. At first I was nervous about having a baby in tow, but Kat immediately made us all feel right at home. She invited us to take a seat next to our CPR mannequins, and brought baby a play mat and lounger so she had a comfortable place to play while we trained. Compared to other training options that only offer video or virtual support, Kat was right there to answer questions live, and walk through techniques and instructions in person. Video examples and case studies helped provide context, and then we had the opportunity to practice on our own mannequins. We learned when and how to use an AED, CPR, abdominal thrusts, and back blows. Kat is a lively, engaging, and fun instructor. Her clear guidance gave us a boost of confidence. I never thought I'd say this about a CPR class, but I had a ton of fun thanks to CPR With Kat! Thank you, Kat! :) read more

Under the welcoming and friendly demeanor Kat has, is a powerhouse of a woman with the knowledge and gentleness of a phenomenal teacher. She gracefully taught my three teenagers CPR and basic first aid, keeping them engaged and making sure they mastered the skills they were meant to. Sometimes learning that kind of thing is stressful and draws up our greatest fears, but my kids felt safe with Kat, and confident when the class was over that they could help in an emergency. I can't express my gratitude enough for Kat, and I'm singing her praises to all my friends. Kat is very accommodating and easy to work with in terms of finding a class that works with your schedule. read more

Interactive, confidence boosting, informative and fun! The instructor has immense patience with a thousand and one questions and isn't afraid to share her knowledge! A great way to spend a couple hours on a weekend afternoon to empower oneself. read more

Highest praise for this class. It was a ton of fun (didn't expect that) and therefore very engaging! Kat was great at giving simple, straight-forward directions with a sense of humor, making it easier to retain. The short videos give you an understanding of why you do, what you do for CPR. I highly recommend this class. Everyone should take it, and we could all be able to save each other! You will find the time flies by and it is fun. Thanks Kat, but I hope I never need to use it! But if I do......I am ready. Thanks read more

My son and daughter-in-law recently took the CPR class from Kat and asked both of us grandmothers to also take the class. We are so VERY glad we did! Kat is engaging, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. Having the adult and infant mannequins to practice on gave us the hands-on experience and confidence needed in an emergency situation. Also helpful was the list of products and where to get them that she gave us. I would HIGHLY recommend Kat for her CPR class containing terrific info whether for an infant, child or adult. Thank you, Kat! read more

My husband and I recently took Kat's "Child and Infant Workshop," and I highly recommend! Kat is such a welcoming and engaging teacher. While child CPR and first aid is such an important topic, it can get a little overwhelming (maybe even boring?). Not with Kat! She kept us laughing and moving. I loved how this session was so interactive and hands-on. She even offered us suggestions on products to have at home just in case of emergency. It was also such a plus that we could bring our baby with us to class. read more

My husband and I took Kat's infant CPR/choking class and it was excellent. She was highly engaging and had great dummies and other devices that really helped us learn how to actually perform the techniques taught. Well paced class as well; we'd highly recommend! read more
