I'm back here at Safety Training Seminars in the Taraval location to renew my PALS recertification. This location is convenient, whether you want to take the L train with the bus stop in front, or park in residential areas. The place has 3 skills training area and is very clean and organized. It's also stocked with manikin wipes and hand sanitizer. It's no wonder I come here for all of my recertifications. Thank you for having this sunset location open and keeping it clean! Again, I will be back for my BLS and ACLS next year. :) read more

Went here for the BLS certification and their instructions on the computer were clear while the space was very clean. I just wish they offered XS gloves. I'm docking a point as their small gloves were the only ones that weren't latex free. This resulted in an allergic reaction/rash on my hands by the time I was finished. read more

I have completed my ACLS & BLS certifications here 3 times and it is seamless. The customer service is responsive, friendly, and prompt. I am very impressed with the whole experience, including the cleanliness of the skills location! read more

This place is fast, efficient, easy to understand online class and online tests. When done with the online class you have a code to go to the physical place to do your hands on training and work on a dummy for an adult and child to test how you treat them. The computer gives you feedback in real time. They want you to pass and you have an hour to finish. Just relax and listen to the instructions. You can do it! Good luck! Street parking is easy. Meters and residential curb parking all over. Just read the street signs. read more

What a surprisingly pleasant experience. I struggled the first time around and the one goal is to get you to pass, so the instructor (I believe it was Becky) to do a virtual teaching via the camera and speakerphone, and I have my BLS card now. I know my experience is atypical, but I feel this shows dedication and care they show their students. A great place to learn CPR/BLS!! read more

Space is very clean and area is easy to navigate. Parking is easy and staff is very helpful in guiding you during the whole process. Will come back here again when I need to renew! read more

It was so easy to work on the online portion at home at my pace. The testing center was clean and even though I had to redo some skills it was simple and the VAM was easy to work with! read more

I will ALWAYS renew my certification with STS as long as I live near a site! Very no-frills set-up, clear instructions, and really helpful feedback from the virtual instructor that helped me pass the skills test in 12 minutes. You should absolutely watch the videos that they send to you prior to the skills test, in addition to the online training. I had very brief experience with CPR training through the Red Cross, and what STS offers is much more informative and well-rounded. I felt very prepared to take the skills test and couldn't recommend this place more! read more

Very convenient way to re certify my BLS CPR class. They offer online class and there are many locations and times to choose from to test the skills. Very convenient and efficient. Definitely will be using in the future for any classes I may need. read more

So I think for CPRs it is much better to have an in-person instructor, the virtual instructor format gets confusing at times and my instructor (Marchielyn) wasn't very patient and I couldn't hear her instructions at times with roadside noise plus her accent and lack of in-person presence etc. that and combined with her impatience it gets pretty stressful. Also a lot of the tools present suit bigger hands and it's hard to say pump enough air into the manikin's mouth or compress it enough. So it can get very tiring in addition to the stress and lack of in-person clarity. I believe on Google reviews many were also saying their hands look very red and peeling after performing CPR many times. Since it's a paid training I expect more patience and kindness. I also received a notification on Google that I can't post my review there as there's a suspicious influx of high ratings so they are under review now. read more

Easy and convenient. The whole process was simple and they can be contacted easily if you have any questions. Would use them again.

It was pretty straightforward. Everything was fast,easy, only giving 4 stars bc there were no medium sized gloves.

The instructor was professional and caring, guiding us through the process with expertise. They were very knowledgeable about all the possible scenarios we might encounter during an emergency and made sure we fully understood how to handle them properly. read more

I used the service for BLS and ACLS renewal. I needed something quick and local, so the convenience factor was there for me. They use Resuscitation Quality Improvement Program (RQI), where you do an AHA approved online module that lasts hours and then come into this space by yourself to work with a voice mannequin. The modules ask you your comfort level with certain topics and builds on what you know. There was no final exam at the end for either test. They give very clear, specific details on how to enter the space and use the equipment. For BLS, the module was about 1 hour and the skills portion involved compression and airway for adult and peds mannequins. Despite my hand positioning and maneuvers, it still felt like I couldn't get the best deal with the baby. For ACLS, the module estimated 3-4 hours. I didn't want to rush through it as mega codes in the past have been intimidating for me. Similar to the BLS, it asked your comfort level of knowledge and had questions built into the material. So it felt very long. No test at the end. I didn't know what to expect for the skills portion, but once I got there, the mannequin only tested on airway and compression. No mention of advance airways and resuscitation drugs. Because of my time crunch, I'm happy with the convenience of it. But if I was a new grad or would be doing the ACLS certification for the first time, I would find an in-person class. read more

Was awesome! Will always renew here! Instructions are so clear! Emails are efficient and manikins are top notch!

Easy and friendly and knowledgeable great place to get certified. Was easy to book and find location.

Clear instructions from start to finish, including parking, accessing the building, and completion of the skills training. Very effective and accessible for a busy schedule!! read more

Terrible user experience- to begin, they manually mail you the course after you pay so you either have to wait hours to get it or call them to send sooner, and they're hard to get ahold of. Got to the testing center and everything went smoothly until my infant model stopped working. I tried multiple pile times to call with no response. They gave 3-4 different phone numbers listed in the training center and online and all of them are difficult to reach, they either don't answer or they disconnect randomly. Finally got a call back and got it to work, but overall very poor experience read more

Very clean and well instructed. Easy access to building and suite. Highly recommend this organization.

Great spot would recommend, very easy and straight forward, very easy and quick for anyone who needs to trip on cpr cert

Fast and convenient, especially if you're recertifying and need a quick refresher on written portion.

I took the ACLS class at the Taraval location and it was not bad! You do the online course first and then you go in for skills. The skills portion has no instructor but it's easy to figure out especially since they send you videos you can watch to make sure that you're doing the skills properly. (I really recommend watching them just so you have an idea how to use the equipment.) It does take some getting used to just to understand what the mannequin wants from you but after a couple tries you start understanding the mannequin. Also the computer gives you feedback so you can adjust what you're doing based off of that. Overall good experience! I'm coming back for PALS! read more
