We absolutely loved our CPR & First Aid workshop with Richard! He came to our preschool to teach our parents, and it was truly great. The trainer was warm, patient, and so reassuring -- you could really feel how much he cares about helping families feel confident and prepared. Richard explained everything in simple, real-life terms and made a topic that can feel overwhelming actually feel doable. Our parents were engaged the whole time, and so many walked away saying they finally feel ready in case of an emergency. If you're looking for someone who is not only professional and knowledgeable but also kind, supportive, and great with parents -- look no further. Highly, highly recommend! read more

See all

Richard came extremely prepared to our home and walked us through his CPR and first aid safety class. We learned a ton and had good hands on practice, we got all our questions answered, and I was able to purchase a first aid kit! 10/10 rec for anyone with children or otherwise - but especially with kids! read more

My husband and I took an infant CPR class with Richard and it was excellent. He is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, and we learned so much. It's evident he has a wealth of experience and genuinely cares about helping people. I'd definitely take another class with him and recommend him. read more

What a wonderful instructor and incredibly informative class! My husband and I attended Richard's Infant CPR class at Mother's Haven this week and I am so grateful to have found it. It was important to me to find an in-person offering for CPR in a world where everything has shifted to virtual. It was so great to sit in community with other expectant parents and most importantly, get to practice CPR on an actual doll. The class went beyond standard CPR and taught us a lot about general safety and adult-saving measures. You can tell Richard is very passionate about imparting wisdom to his students and potentially saving little lives. He has extensive experience as an RN, working in hospitals for many years and was happy to answer questions. He shared a lot of helpful information about Los Angeles area hospitals and which ones have pediatric ICUs and burn units. We walked away with so much more than standard CPR. He also has First Aid Kits for purchase that are thoughtfully assembled with products you can't find on Amazon. 10/10 recommend! read more

We did an in-person session with Richard this past weekend. He was extremely knowledgable and gave us a wealth of information in a way that was digestible and actionable. He also thoughtfully answered all questions while keeping us on track to ensure we covered everything. I'm extremely grateful for the skills I learned and feel much less anxious about safety now that I have the information I do. Would recommend Richard to anyone! read more

What a great class!! We had Richard to our home for a private family class is infant CPR and home safety. Richard has so much information to share and was so patient with our questions. Much of our family is in healthcare, but we all came away with good reminders and tips. We totally recommend his classes! read more

My family did a private class with Richard last weekend. He's so friendly, knowledgeable and makes the information he's giving easy to digest. My father in-law has a pretty extensive background in the medical field and said Richard was very informed and even he learnt a thing or two. Thanks Richard for a great class, we will 100% recommend him to any of our friends having kids in the future. read more

My family and I had a great infant training session with Richard in our home today. It was so helpful that he was able to come to our home, especially with us having a newborn. We all feel educated, prepared and confident that we know what to do if the unimaginable happens. Richard was organized and took the time to answer all of our questions. I would recommend that anyone with a baby or little one take his course. We even got pointers on adult saving measures as well! read more

As a new mom and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist I was adamant that my family take a pediatric life support class when I returned to work. I have personally taken countless advanced life support classes for my profession, so I was interested to see how Richard would teach my family and neighbors who are not medical professionals. Richard was very knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged. He brought several mannequins of different ages so everyone could get hands on experience. I was expecting instruction on basic CPR and choking, but the class included so much more information about things like burns and drowning that every parent and caregiver should know. Lastly, having a private group class at our house was the best idea, especially during covid times. The price of the class is very reasonable compared to other classes I researched and attended in the past. I highly recommend Save a Little Life to everyone! read more

Wonderful class! Richard is incredibly knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. He thoroughly explains and teaches the proper way to handle any infant / toddler emergency. This is a must for all new parents-to-be. Very highly recommended. read more

Great instruction. Very clear and practical - my family left the class feeling confident of what to do in an emergency.

Richard is incredible! My wife and I are as paranoid as it gets and we're pregnant with our first child. We scheduled a private class with Richard and had all of our parents join. We all have limited attention spans and high anxiety and yet we all walked away feeling super confident! Richard is insanely qualified and so articulate. We are recommending him to all of our parent friends! read more

I feel so relieved after taking a small group class with Richard and only wish that I had done it sooner! Richard was so helpful at explaining information to parents with kids of all ages. 10/10 recommend! read more

If there is or soon will be a baby in your life, call Richard Pass and set up an in-home class. In two short hours, we learned infant, pediatric and even adult CPR, as well as Heimlich procedures. His experience is unmatched and he's a gentle, friendly teacher. Yes, I took a CPR class 30 years ago when I was pregnant but do I trust my memory when it comes to life-saving when I rarely remember where my car keys are? No. Procedures have changed and been simplified, and I want to be at my very best with my soon-to-be grandson. I cannot say enough about Save A Little Life. read more

I truly couldn't say better things about Richard and his CPR class. It was UNBELIEVABLE and so informative... in a calm and straight-forward way. First off, his expertise in critical care at one of the worlds best hospitals made us all feel safe and he came from a place of experience. I am due in 5 weeks and I did a class with my husband and both sets of parents. We all thought it was amazing and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for baby CPR or even adult CPR. 10/10!! read more

This class is chock full of important, useful information covering all categories of child safety. The hands on CPR practice helped cement what we learned. I feel much more prepared to save a life if, god forbid, that's needed. read more

My wife and I took Richard's class at the Pump Station in Hollywood and were quite surprised at how much we enjoyed it. Richard kept all twelve couples fully engaged, the time flew by, Highly recommend attending Richard's CPR class! read more

My husband and I absolutely loved him. He was very clear and thorough. When any one had questions, he was very patient and clear. We would definitely recommend! Katherine and John read more

This was a really amazing, informative class that should be required for all new parents. Richard made a 2.5 hour class fly by, and I would recommend this to anyone with no hesitation. Thanks again Richard! read more

Finally a cpr pediatric class that was informative, very well taught and fun! I used to teach cpr and first aid and now we have babies and a nanny so we had save a little life come to our place. Richard is a top notch instructor and it was awesome to have an R.N. with extensive emergency room experience and teaching experience teach my partner and nanny. I would give him more stars if they had them. Heidi J. NREMT/Lifeguard read more

Save a Little Life is an AMAZING company. We've worked with them for some time now offering monthly CPR classes in our office. Attendees always comment on how professional the instructors are and how much they learn. Whereas some CPR companies just try to get thorough the material quickly, you can tell that the instructors through Save a Little Life truly care about equipping each student with life-saving skills. We particularly appreciate how each instructor is a working nurse - that is so rare and makes all the difference in the world. These are skills that you hope to never use, but when you do it is so imperative that you know exactly what to do in the moment. The owner, Richard is an amazing as is his assistant, Carol. Everyone that works on the team is truly top notch. Thank you again for all you do in keeping our children safe. We wouldn't use anyone else. read more

My 9 month pregnant wife and I attended one of Richard's CPR classes at the pump station in Santa Monica. It was great and he was great!! I thoroughly recommend it to anyone with kids/ baby on the way. We also purchased one of his travel first aid kits. Now we count down the days to our little ones arrival secure that we have the knowledge to handle any emergency. Thank you Richard!!! read more

I hosted a CPR class for my family at my house. My husband and I are having our first baby in a couple of weeks and wanted anyone that was going to be with the baby regularly to be trained in CPR, choking, and overall safety. I highly recommend anyone with children sign up for this class. Terance was our instructor and he was absolutely amazing! He made the class enjoyable and fun, while also taking all issues seriously. He was patient and flexible with us when we were asking questions in the middle of each topic. His demonstrations and hands on instruction made us all feel really comfortable should we need to use the skills we learned in the class. Highly recommend save a little life and Terance! read more

My wife and I attended a class last week with our son & daughter-in-law who will be first time parents in 3 weeks. I've been thru CPR training several times in Boy Scouts, etc. This class presented the current thinking on infant/young children safety and how to deal with life threatening emergencies. The information was presented not to scare you, but to prepare you for dealing with the worst possible scenarios and how important time is. I came away feeling much more prepared for dealing not only with our soon to be grandson, but with adult issues as well. Richard also makes what looks like an excellent emergency "kit" that we plan to buy from him. He also gives you excellent handouts and many tidbits of information. This class is a must for all people who may find themselves in charge of children. read more

This was a really great, informative class. Richard was very knowledgable and made the whole private class easy. I had my parents ( future grandparents) come too, and they learned a lot. read more

We took the baby CPR and safety class. It was really amazing. Probably the single best pre-baby investment. You will come out of the class more confident and more calm about everything that could go wrong. We took the class at the Pump Station. Strongly recommend for parents and anyone that will be spending time with the baby. read more

This class was fantastic, informative, and in a supportive, kind, and open environment. Every question was addressed with a truly professional answer, and we left the class feeling relieved and prepared. Enough can not be said for the wealth of experience and knowledge that Richard has, and how wonderfully led the class is. I highly recommend this to anyone with children, caring for children, or expecting children in the near future. I'll be referring family members to this course as well! read more

Took a group private class with Richard today. Excellent and informative. I feel so empowered. I have taken other pediatric CPR courses and this was SO much better! read more

My 9 months pregnant wife and I took the class in Beverly Hills. I hope we never have to use what we've learned but knowing what to do in an emergency situation is such a piece of mind. The instructor (Terrance) was great! He is an expert in his field. read more

We hosted a CPR class at our house for 8 of our family members and it was wonderful!! I booked it last minute (the day before) and they were able to accommodate us. Richard was extremely thorough, informative and easy to listen to. He customized the session to the needs of our group (we have family members with both infants and toddlers). We each got infant dolls and toddler-sized dolls to practice on and learned very practical, easy to remember techniques to use in the event of an emergency. This is SUCH a crucial skill for any parent, care taker/nanny, grandparent etc to know. I hope we never need to use what we learned, but I feel MUCH more confident in my ability to react to an emergency situation after taking the class. We can't thank Richard and Save a Little Life enough!! I highly recommend this class!! read more

My wife and i took Richard's infant CPR class. We are first time parents and it was very informative. Richard has a lot of great experience and insights and did a great job of presenting the material in a fun and interactive way. I highly recommend the class! read more

Richard was wonderful! We hosted a CPR class for six adults (and two babies) and he handled the chaos like a pro! The class was easy to understand, didn't have too much information thrown at you in a way you couldn't process it all, and was quite enjoyable. The practice sessions were great as Richard intentionally heightened your stress level so you could try to feel the anxiety and stress you would feel during a real crisis. It helped to work through being flustered. He also sells first aid kits which we bought. Perfect for those parents that will never get around to making their own. ;) It's a bit pricey, but we did a private home session so we went the more expensive route. Can you really put a price tag on safety though? :) Highly recommended! read more

Richard's CPR class for infants/toddlers is the best I've ever taken. It's the only one that I've completed with a feeling of total confidence that I could competently handle an emergency situation with an infant/toddler/young person. He was excellent at repeating and placing emphasis on the most important points, and as he said, simplifying and streamlining what we really need to remember and take away from a CPR course. Richard shared about personal experiences with CPR, and experiences of former class attendees, in a way that was poignant and really helpful. I left his class feeling excited to tell everyone I know who spends any time with kids, that they would benefit greatly from taking this quick, totally informative, potentially life-saving course. read more

i took Richards class, and while it was informative, he could have given the 2 hour class in 30 min. Moreover he was completely rude and disrespectful. I would never ever use him again and I would never ever recommend him to anyone else. read more
