These guys are great. Instructions are easy (if you follow them). The location was simple to get to and they have a dedicated parking spot right out front. Literally, just follow the prompts in the email they send and you'll have no issues. They helped me work through my own "user errors" and it was done with such ease. They are really responsive, kind, and helpful. The simulation is much like others and very user friendly. You should absolutely choose them for your certifications! read more

I took this course a couple months ago and was really pleased with the instruction. The location is easy to find, the classroom and supplies are sanitary, and they have courses available quite often during the week. Kind of wish I didnt purchase the handbook since we didnt use it at all, but its nice to have just in case. read more

LifeSaver CPR - First Aid Classes Near Me - San Mateo, California

Even after the third time I've had Chris and his team out he still remarkably manages to keep things both informative and engaging. It's tough to get teacher's attention during back to school training--- especially for 4 hours, yet year after year they deliver! read more

I have been in schools for 30 years and thankfully I've never had to use CPR. But, it is a requirement for all staff, soI have done my share of classes. This is one of the best. This company quickly pivoted to online during the pandemic and, frankly, we love the combination of online trainings coupled with on campus skills checks. We've used them for yearsI have every intention of continuing to do so. Highly recommend. read more

Chris is an awesome instructor who provides very clear and concise instructions. He makes he class fun by throwing in jokes in between the serious instructions. Also, very educational in making sure we know the material well! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent presentation. Informative and for the first time ever with these things, humorous and engaging. Highly recommend.

Incredible and entertaining instruction! Second time with Chris and just as informative and engaging as the first time! Highly recommended if you would like to learn the ins and outs of cpr as well as the science behind it! read more

I learned a lot with Mike! He was super enthusiastic and very informative. I have never taken a CPR class prior to this one and now I can say that I'm pretty confident in administering CPR. Highly recommend!! read more

I really enjoyed this class, super engaging and he kept us laughing the entire time.

Excellent BLS CPR class. David gives practical advice and doesn't use annoying, corny videos. He doesn't always teach for LifeSaver CPR--check in advance of booking. Very reasonably priced--$60 if recertifying and you already have the books. read more

LifeSaver CPR provided, hands-down, the best CPR/First Aid training our school has received in recent memory. Chris was a knowledgeable, engaging presenter who used humor to keep us engaged and provided ample time for questions and hands-on practice. I left feeling confident in my skills and that my time had been very well spent. We will certainly have LifeSaver back for future trainings! read more

I used LifeSaver CPR to get re-certified for my BLS-CPR license at the San Mateo location, which actually takes place at the Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts. My instructor for the day was David Ybarra. David was a great instructor, very comedic at times, but he was really serious about making sure we learned the proper technique and skills to perform accurate CPR, educating us from the book and from personal experience as a firefighter. It's nice that they provide enough dummies for every single student to practice their CPR techniques and David walked around making sure everyone's techniques were applicable to perform CPR. The facilities were nice. They have a kitchen in the back where you can get water and coffee and also a secured parking lot in the building for students to park their cars. Great experience. Great class. Highly recommended. read more

Very informative, great instructor! It's definitely a must to take classes from Chris Peters, he's great!

Best CPR/1st aid course I've ever taken. And I've been taking them for 40+ years. Do yourself a favor - hire these people for your next CPR event! read more

The CPR training was very good! The instructor kept everyone engaged and motivated. We got through the class with no problem. Velonda was great. She made the training informational and fun. I know that some of the important things to remember will stick in my head because of the way she presented it to us. read more

Mike was my CPR trainer and it was such a fun and educational experience. The trainer brought in real life time scenarios and made the entire process more memorable. I really enjoyed this class because of the important lessons it taught but also bc of how informational and fun the experience was. I will recommend this training program to everyone! read more

CHRIS WAS SUCH AN AWESOME INSTRUCTOR! He went through the cpr in such a quick but informative way! He stayed on top of things and always gave hands on examples! I would totally want him again next time!!! Thanks Chris!!!! read more

I had to take a cpr class for pharmacy school so I signed up for the class. My instructor was Michael and he was really funny and enjoyable to learn from. I think this is a class that everyone should take. It's really useful. I'd definitely recommend the class to other pharmacy students and health care providers! read more

Chris is very engaging and I definitely recommend taking this course. I've taken in twice from him now!

Our school has been hiring Chris Peters for CPR training for many years! Every two years to be exact and every time is a pleasure. Wonderful speaking voice, he's clear and brings all his own materials. Wonderful for large groups! It helps that he looks like John Cena and is very tall to see all the demonstrations. read more

Needed to renew my BLS CPR card for work and found this place. Definitely the cheapest out there.Other places charge $80. This place only charges $60 if you already have the student manuel. $74 if you dont. Use the code "YELP" for 10% off. I ended up paying only $68 including the book. Thanks to yelp for the promo code! The only thing that irritated me was that you dont even use the book at all! They just wanted the extra money. 4 stars because its cheap and they give you the card the day of class. read more

I was Just recently hired at kaiser and my Cpr card would expire by the end of month. I search online and found Chris Peter Cpr class/ renewal on American heart association website and scheduled a appt. The class was great!!! I am renewing my bls, but even for first time learners the instructor made sure we understood every detail. The class was quick and easy and you get your new card the same day. Every 2 yrs I will be renewing my card with this company! read more

Chris is a great instructor for First Aid and CPR. He makes the class enjoyable and fun. If you are in need of re-certification or desire certification I recommend you take it here! read more

Not one video was shown during the class and we got a lot of hands on practice for all parts of the course. Instructions were clear and any questions we had were answered in detail. It was great that Kevin not only taught us the new standards but also explained the changes. read more

Excellent CPR class. I would highly recommend anyone who needs cpr certification to take it with LifeSaver CPR.

Christ was the best! Thank you for the cpr class I learned something new. Great explanation;)

The training was well-paced and engaging, and the delivery was excellent. The instructor was very knowledgeable and experienced in his field while engaging the audience with the ease of a born teacher and entertainer. I have taken this course many times before from other providers, yet I still learned new information. The course also included ample opportunities for hands-on practice, which made things practical and memorable. Highly recommended! read more

I took ACLS and PALS at LifeSaverCPR... Please take the ECG/Pharmacology class they offer prior to taking these two classes, if will help out so much!! Def worth the money. I will also be taking my BLS class, and my family just took the FirstAid class they offer! read more

I took a class with Chris along with other faculty at my school. Chris set a nice tone for us, serious but not too serious. I learned a few new things too which is what makes a great class. Highly recommend! read more

Chris is amazing!! Such an informative and engaging instructor. Really appreciate how he keeps the audience involved and provides an open floor for questions and clarification. read more

Great class. Instructor made kind of boring class fun & interesting. It started on time and ended promptly as promised. It is conveniently located with free parking. I highly recommend this provider. read more

This class was a great refresher. The instructor was very clear, direct and engaging. There was plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I would highly recommend this class. The classroom was a little hard to find in the plaza, so leave a little time to find it once you get there. read more

I've been to many CPR classes and so far this is the perfect CPR class for me. The instructor does the teaching...not a video... he is organized, concise and gives the perfect amount of information. I was never bored. This was my second time attending and I plan on going back for my next renewal. read more

Attended BLS for HCPs which was a great class for me as an RN. It's a good location for those living on the peninsula rather than going to a class in San Fran and paying to commute and paying for parking. read more

I was really disappointed in this class. I have been taking BLS classes since 1987, and have also taken some ACLS classes during the 1990s. This class had some first - time attendees who had very poor technique as far as assessing pulse and delivering compressions. The instructor did not correct them, and the test was open book. I certainly hope that if I or a family member ever need CPR it is done by someone who knows how to do it! read more
