I signed up for my BLS/PALs here. I did the online portion at home prior to attending. I used…read moregoogle to map the location by using just the address provided. Well, I should have known it was off because I ended up in a dead end near old warehouses and what seemed like a junk yard. I tried looking up the address again to map myself and it still lead me to the same junk yard area. It was not until I typed in "Safety Training Seminars" in google maps that it lead me somewhere else. It was 15 minutes from where I was at the time. I ended up arriving about 20 minutes late because of this address issues... The good thing is, I had my BLS and PALS back to back so it helped relax my mind about the time frame that I had. Upon arriving, it was easier to find most of the doors you can see from the parking lot. I opened the door and there you see, 2 stations right when you walk in and another station behind this small door. Overall, the place was quite small, though clean. I'd come back again when I have to renew my certs again. But definitely be mindful of the address when trying to find the place!

I took a CPR class with this company in 2020 in Novato. I had a very poor experience, one that I…read morestill think about today. The CPR instructor picked on me the entire class for no apparent reason. I felt bullied, embarrassed, and humiliated. Not only was the experience uncalled for, it was very unprofessional. No one from the company responded to my previous post, nor my telephone call. Needless to say, I would not recommend Safety Training Seminars for your BLS needs.

I recently completed my ACLS and BLS renewal with Vive CPR, and honestly... this was one of the…read morebest certification experiences I've had (and I've done a few over the years). Aaron, the instructor, is next level. He's incredibly knowledgeable, but more importantly, he actually knows how to teach. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense, connects the dots, and helps you understand the "why" behind what you're doing--not just memorize it. I found myself thinking multiple times, "Where was this guy when I was in nursing school?" He really knows his stuff--and teaches it in a way that sticks. The blended learning format (online + in-person skills) was a lifesaver with a busy schedule. It made the course doable without feeling overwhelming, while still being thorough and hands-on where it matters. Also--communication was on point. Any questions I had were answered quickly, which made the whole process feel smooth and supported. If you're looking for a no-BS, high-quality ACLS/BLS course with an instructor who actually cares that you get it... this is it. Highly, highly recommend.

I always dread renewing my ACLS every 2 years, it's such a gruesome experience with megacodes, EKG…read morereadings, etc. I usually get my renewal through work but this year I decided to try something different. I wanted to try a renewal outside of work with the hopes that it is less stressful. I came across this place through my Yelp search based on the high ratings. When I went to the website, the option to renewal was online portion + skills assessment. I was worried about the skills assessment. I purchased it and scheduled my skills assessment. The online portion is something I have done in the past with my other renewals which really helps prep you with the algorithms and lots of feedback. The online portion is nice because you work at your own pace, on your own time. You must completed the online portion in order to do the skills assessment in person. Before my skills assessment, I received very helpful e-mails to help me pass my skills assessment. They had some videos and helpful tips in the e-mail. When I arrived to the location at San Ramon, I was a little confused as I easily missed the door and was very lost. I called the phone number and they were very helpful in guiding me on where to go. There is NO instructor there, it's just a manikin hooked up to the computer that assesses the skill. I thought the videos helped me pass the skills assessment. I did have to re-do some sections a couple times but the feedback from the computer helped me and I think the e-mail tips clicked after doing the skills assessment. Overall, the skills assessment was definitely less stressful than I expected. It wasn't that bad. I definitely plan to return to do my BLS + ACLS renewal here, it's very chill and at your own pace! I love it. This really eases my anxiety regarding renewal, I would highly recommend for anyone that wants to renew! Everything is at your own pace. You do only have an hour to do the skills assessment, which I felt was PLENTY of time! The skills assessment focuses mainly on the breaths/compressions of CPR and 2:1 teamwork.

I finally decided to take the plunge and do ACLS. Very similar to BLS, except the pediatric…read moreportion you don't have to do. I went to the Castro Valley location, the same location I have used since last year. I love that this location has its own little parking lot in the back and you just follow the instructions which are emailed to you in order to access the office where you will do your skills testing. Not that this is a dealbreaker, but just be aware there is no restroom at this location. Last year I recall there used to be, but they have now locked the adjoining door so you cannot access the restroom if you need to go. The other thing was it doesn't seem that the cart the mannequin is on is able to be moved; or maybe I just couldn't move it? I went in the morning hours and the sun was shining right in my eyes. Just be forewarned if you decide to go to the Castro Valley location - - use the bathroom first and you may want to bring some sunglasses just in case LOL

The course was a hybrid meaning that I had to do an online portion, then forward my completion notice to Ted who then scheduled the in person hands on portion. Ted was thorough, even checking to hear how the online portion went (that was done on an AHA site which he does not control) and he quickly assessed my needs to tailor areas of focus needed. Very professional with a delightfully humanizing touch. Ted is an EMT and does this training all over the area. I was very pleased, got my card by email within about 48 hours. This friendly, professional guy runs a great business. I told all my friends at work. Highly recommended. The whole process cost me about $75, a bargain considering how truly efficient it is. Thank you, Ted.
