Great training and really knowledgeable, perfect for groups and certification. Jimmy is really good at what he does

I had the opportunity to take an introductory stop the bleed course with Jimmy on a Saturday morning. He was energetic, down-to-earth, and an overall grade instructor. We got to learn about different tourniquets and packing, wixom great practice material. I think this is a skill that everyone should have in their arsenal. He also guided into real world examples, and underscore the importance of these basic skills. You even get a certificate of completion, which I wasn't necessarily expecting, but which I appreciated. There are also other courses available, for those who want a more in-depth understanding. Definitely an opportunity you wouldn't want to miss! I would definitely ask him to come and give lectures in the corporate setting, which seems like people enjoy as well. read more

See all

Highly recommend. I've been to many Life Safety Associates trainings over the last two years (both corporate classes they've taught at my company and classes they've taught at their San Jose office); they have been some of the most informative, most educational, and most fun classes I've ever taken. Great instructors: Jimmy's experiences--both as a firefighter and as an educator-- make him an incredibly insightful, knowledgeable, and helpful instructor. He's also hilarious, so his classes are always tons of fun. Some of the other reviews mention condescending mannerisms- I've never felt that at all?Jimmy's always been super down to earth and super kind in my classes. Great material: The training material is detailed, thorough, and informative. Great class style: Jimmy focuses on hands-on, interactive experiences instead of lecture; the hands-on training is really key to internalize the concepts. read more

I highly recommend Life Safety's Bleeding Control class taught by Jimmy. It is two hours of hands-on training on how to control life threatening blood loss with the use of pressure, a tourniquet, and wound packing. No prior first-aid knowledge is required. I hope I don't have to use it, but if I do, I now have a beneficial skill that can be used to save someone or even my own life. read more

Very knowledgeable team and a great space for learning. I participated in the Medical ERT class which was 3 days. I learned much but also felt the class wasn't as condensed as I had hoped for. I was hoping/expecting more testing, more deep learning exercises and a hard test at the end of the class (as had 1 test at the end of the first day only). Other than that, learning these life-saving skills is a wonderful opportunity and I'm grateful for my company to offer it! read more

Mr. Ed G. Was great instructor very interactive course. I would recommend this course to any body that could save lives and who like to save lives. read more

Life Safety Associates - Mr. Ed G. Instructing - CPR Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

Took this course as part of the CPR initiative in my company (Electric Cloud). Although i was late to class, ED allowed me but had to do extra pumping on the dummy chest. :) Overall he wanted repeated everything few times, so that we can imbibe, how to react and what to do in difficult situations. Suggestion : Make it compulsory for somebody to attend this course to go through video training first, take test to prove that you have enough knowledge, and onsite training should be only lab, rather much of theory. Just a suggestion to improve not to criticize. I loved the way you did it too. read more

Great class! I really learned a lot! The instructor was knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommended! read more

Life Safety Associates - Helpful and handy! - CPR Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been wanting to get CPR training for some time now and Life Safety Associates was recommended by my company so that I could join the Emergency Response Team (ERT). Greg the instructor was excellent! He was able to draw on his more than 30 years of experience as a firefighter and paramedic to really bring home the important points of CPR, AED usage and first aid. Very informative session with some good hands-on scenarios to help you think through your reactions and response! read more

Great training, good materials, one nice instructor, another one with a little bit of an EGO problem, teaching by talking down to the students, treating people like idiots. Well, if everyone was completely knowledgeable about the subject, nobody would need to get trained. Jimmy, dude, get real and step down your firefighter ladder. Thumbs up for the paramedic Greg. read more

I highly recommend Life Safety Associates. The class was very informative, my staff got to do hands on training. One of the attendees told me she has attended other CPR classes, but this was the first time she actually felt like she learned something. I shopped around and found Life Safety Associates to be reasonably priced. I found Michael the owner very accommodating, they facilitated a class in less then a week notice. read more

I have been going to life safety and have always enjoyed it until today. Ed the instructor was very condescending and when asked questions that he perceived as challenging him he was down right rude. Perhaps he was having a bad day but I hope I never have him as an instructor again. When asked why would you start CPR when some one is gasping for breathe (as the answer on the test stated) all he had to say was perhaps we should look into hanging that. Instead he went on for several minutes and never allowed me to ask my question which if they have a heart beat why are we doing CPR? Hopefully nobody else has to deal with his rudeness. read more

Took a Bleeding Control Basics class with Jimmy today. It's a two-hour class, but don't assume that it's just someone talking at you for that entire time. This is a mostly hands-on class. You learn how to pack wounds, apply a tourniquet in 15 seconds, make a tourniquet on the fly, and apply compression properly (TV shows are liars. It requires more pressure than you think.). Jimmy packed a ton of useful information into the two hours, which flew by. At $35, this class is a steal. These classes are taught by people who have been out in the field, not just someone who read instructions in a book. I'd highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to learn how to possibly save a life. read more

I've been taking my CPR course and refreshers with Life Safety for the past few years and they are great. All the instructors are very knowledgable and the hands on exercises are great. read more

Ed mostly taught the 3 sessions that I went to. The information is very easy to follow because it's repeated over and over again. Would highly recommend! read more

Just had my first class ever in CPR and first aid by Ed Hayes and it was a blast! Seven hours never went so fast. Great information and teaching skills made this a very comprehensive class. It's not as easy as it looks and Ed was able to set newbys like me on the right track. read more

I just completed the CPR/AED training class. The instructor Mr. Ed Geronimo always keeps the classes moving and includes everyone. His experience and teaching style really helps. After 28 years in the Federal government I've had so many safety classes and instructors that I have to say Ed ranks up with the best. I look forward to future training sessions with Life Safety associates and Mr. Ed Geronimo. Highly recommend to all in need of safety classes. read more

I just completed a 3 day ERT training course. The class taught me valuable skills that I could not put a price tag on. I learned CPR, and how to respond to emergency situations after various types of disasters/accidents. The instructor I had was Jimmy. He has a ton of experience, and is a great instructor with a great personality. The class had a perfect balance of oral instruction, and hands on learning. read more

Took Adult CPR/First Aid training with Greg McClure. Greg made the class enjoyable and easy to follow along. Learned a lot and would recommend him to any company looking into this type of training. Good experience and I now feel confident enough to assist in am emergency situation. read more

I have been taking classes through Life Safety for years for the company I work for ERT team. Not only are the classes comprehensive and the instructors excellent but the company is very community oriented. I asked about training for first aide for our scout troop and Life Safety donated the time. And our instructor Jimmy is the BEST! I always look forward to Jimmy's outgoing and friendly personality! Thanks life safety! read more

I got to participate in a Life Safety Associates class at my work (Bay Area semiconductor company) for CPR and AED usage. The instructor was clearly very experienced, both with giving the class and the concepts involved, and the class was both fun and useful. We received two booklets that covered the topics of the class ("AED Training" and "Heartsaver CPR"), which meant that I didn't have to take written notes. The booklets mostly agreed with what the instructor said, although there were the occasional small discrepancies. We got to practice giving CPR and using training AEDs on practice dummies, which I found very helpful. read more

Ed and Jimmy were very engaging and answered all questions with so much knowledge. Not your typical classroom training. Hands on training guaranteed to remember! read more
