EXCELLENT Based on 386 reviews Posted on Nicole YuenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came here for my first aid/CPR/certification through work. Convenient locations and lots of times to pick a class. Felt like there was enough individual attention (4 of us in my time slot) to practice the skills.Posted on Maria Teresa AlvarezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Con was very helpful observing me while I did the compressions and ventilations. I appreciate the effort in helping the practitioner pass the skill test. Also, I appreciate the emphasis in the written test to get the students to clearly understand BLS and succeed in the test.Posted on ashanti jenkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Kudos for the women who came up with this creation.Posted on Sara GambleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I panicked when my company contacted me with only 2 days until my BLS expired, but safety training seminars made it so easy to take the online course at home, then take the manikin portion the very next morning, 5 minutes from my house! I passed in just half an hour, with clear prompts that definitely improved my technique.Posted on MarvinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow, the instructors at Safety Training Seminars delivered top-notch BLS training, providing students with a comprehensive and engaging learning environment that fully prepared us for certification. Thanks to their expert guidance, I feel confident in my ability to perform CPR and other lifesaving techniques with ease during real emergency situations.Posted on Jennifer BotelloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I like the self pace. I only wish the mannequins were better placed. I struggled with identifying left and right positioning and I think if the tables were identified as left and right handed strength I might have faired better. The infant ambu bag was deflated, but I got through it. Stretch! You will be tired. 1. Great pace 2. Great price 3. No one but you - love that. No pressure to move to accommodate other people in the class 4. Love that you do the test at home then go to the practic in a private area 5. It’s fast and I love it! Aside from the minor mannequin adjustment , thank you for a great service!
