I did the basic life support for healthcare workers CPR training. There was an online portion that was very confusing because it was trying to be adaptive but merely ended up being out of order and unclear. I dont recommend selecting the adaptive option there. The in-person portion of the training was fine, much easier to understand, and the instructor (Jeff, I think) was knowledgeable and answered our questions. Overall, a fine experience and I do believe I know how to respond in an emergency from the training.

I recently renewed my PALS and BLS in Berkeley. The instructor, Zach was terrific, very pleasant and professional. Another “shout out” goes to Becky who was so helpful in answering questions. Thank you! Stay safe out there!

Easy to work with and they make the classes enjoyable while being effective as well in learning the skills. I’ve gone through them twice to re certify and both times were great experiences that were professional and fun.

Nina H. was my instructor for my BLS course and she was phenomenal! As a healthcare provider, I have taken many CPR renewal courses throughout my professional career, and this one taught by Nina was by far the best one. She is very knowledgable with her extensive experience as an EMT, highly passionate about what she does, and makes class enjoyable. Learning the material was so effortless as Nina reiterates high-yield concepts and provides good feedback as we practiced our skills. I feel well-prepared and confident to respond to an emergency. I highly recommended taking the CPR course with Nina from Safety Training Seminars!

This is my 3rd time using their service to recertify my BLS CPR training and they have been great. The teachers are fabulous and are knowledgeable, welcoming, and well organized to give thorough & safe learning environment. Plus they have multiple locations throughout the Bay Area to make it easy to find a close convenient location.

The hybrid format was easy to fit into my schedule, the price of the class was fair, and they have lots of time slots for the in-person skills testing. This made it really easy to do my CPR/First Aid recertification for my job as an early childhood educator.

We have worked with Safety Training for several years. They are a pleasure to work with. If they handle their teaching classes (lots of good reviews) like they do their vender relations, go for it! Many thanks!

Always an efficient and easy way to practice my hands on CPR skills!

Enjoyed a fun and insightful course in Berkeley on CPR and first aid! Thanks team!

Luke was an excellent instructor, highly recommend any of his courses. He has a wealth of experience and is very knowledgable. Will definitely complete all of my re-certs with him.

Liked how clearly they explained answers and got thru it pretty fast.

Everything you want out of a CPR course, highly recommend.

I love doing my Cpr/First Aid/Aed training with them. This location is good.

The instructor was very professional and, I got refresh my skills easily. The social distance and face mask was a requirement to attend the class.After finishing the training, the equipment was disinfected for the next group.

Jeff was great for healthcare professionals BLS class. Good course materials.

Thorough training, well explained.

Nina was a fantastic teacher. She made the class fun and informative. I trained in the time of CoVid and the cleanliness and safety protocols made the experience fee very safe.

Tutor Karl was nice and very resourcefulConducive environment and Covid-19 guidelines followed strictly.

Best BLS class I’ve taken! I’ll be back when my certificate expires

The CPR program was very well thought out and easy to understand. I feel more confident knowing that I will be able to help others with the proper skills and techniques. Instructor Carl was fabulous. Highly recommend.

Stress free ACLS review. Robert kept us laughing, the mood light, and even stimulated some old neural connections that hadn’t fired in a while.

Our BLS instructor, Connor, gave us critical information on how to deal with real world life saving situations using our basic level of knowledge and skill. He clearly defined the important differences on how to deal with infants, children and adults. Connor had a calming personality which enhanced the classroom learning.The location in Berkeley was easy to find with many restaurants dotting University Ave.

Took the Adult and Infant CPR, AED and First Aid class this past weekend and found it very efficient, informative and not too terribly boring. Jeff the instructor was very knowledgable and easy going. Felt safe even being in a room of 8 people for 5 hrs, covid-19 protocols were adhered to strictly. Would recommend.

The instructor is super cool. He knows the materials well and always asks us if there were any questions. Im pretty sure everyone passed in that guys class. it was cheap too! and they give you a free keychain CPR mask.

Great place great people always a great experience.

Very good!

Jeff was our instructor. He was concise and very easy to understand. The class contained the perfect amount of material. I really enjoyed it and will renew my certificate again with this organization.

Interactive, interesting class although the examples used and curriculum only included male-bodied patients. At the very least, they could use gender-neutral language when describing patients to be more inclusive of women and other genders! Didnt address working with transgender patients (especially when describing gender-based symptoms of heart attacks, the instructor didnt know how hormones and different transition stages would affect those symptoms).

Excellent place to receive certification. The class is easy and very entertaining, not to mention, the instructor was very professional and had a wonderful since of humor. You will leave the class feeling confident in saving some one life.

I highly recommend this place for anyone that needs to get certified in both CPR/First Aid. Nina is an amazing instructor and really helpful. I needed a course that would allow me to get back to work and not miss a full day, and I participated in a 9am course which then allowed me to return to work right after. I know a lot of us cant afford to miss work, so their 9am class works for those of us like myself.

Nina was awesome. She was clinically knowledgable, focused on teaching but more importantly the students learning the material. Thanks.

This training was fast, informative and well taught. I feel confident in my abilities after this training and would recommend to anyone looking to get their BLS.

I took CPR/AED/First Aid here for work and the class was very fast moving, but also very good. The instructor was awesome! A current EMT was our instructor and I dont think I couldve asked for a better instructor.Excellent class; I definitely recommend Berkeley CPR Classes.

Very informative and dynamic CPR Class. The dynamic instructor Jeffrey coupled with the inquisitive students made it an eye opening experience. Five Stars and Four Thumbs Up!

I took my BLS renewal today. I found safety training seminars online. I arrived 10 minutes early and there was a long line for check in. (Tip: If you need to use the restroom during class, its outside the suite, down the hall , to the left.) The class was fun. Our instructor , Karl, was engaging and very animated. He told stories of situations that he had been in as a firefighter and as part of an EMS response team. It made many concepts memorable as we reviewed the course material. He made sure there was not a lot of repetition in the class. He was very straightforward and stressed what would be important in emergency situation. He was efficient in correcting our exams. I was also able to get CE credit as well as my BLS certification. Overall, I had a great morning and I plan to come back in two years.

Class was no-nonsense; started on time, good info, lots of practice time; straight-forward guidance. Appropriate number of breaks; location easy to find. Very good experience overall!

Karl the CPR instructor paced the class really well. It was a 5 hour endeavor.He was very informative and inserted lots of humor through out the day!Very refreshing!

Very educational, & professional, & caring. The CPR/First Aid course gives you the confidence for saving lives, if needed. Thank you.Carla

My experience was great! Our teacher Conner was excellent. He explained things very clearly and hands on way. I would highly recommend it.

I had a great learning experience during my CPR Renewal class. Instructor Karl Ico made the class fun and interesting and answered all of our questions as we went. I would definitely recommend this Safety Training Seminars to anyone and everyone. You will leave the seminar with confidence knowing you have perfected your CPR skills.

Class went well Great teacher very knowledgeable and fun. She presented all the info clearly and thoroughly .One of the better classes i have taken Will definitely recommend to others and will be back in future.Thank youRobin

Just needed to be re-certified for BLS and Bay Area CPR Classes really helped me out. They were well priced, easy to work with and had many course time options. My instructor, Nina, did a great job communicating the course content while also being efficient with our time! I would highly suggest using them!

One hour hands on skills session given by an experienced EMT. Discussed recent changes in ACLS guidelines and recommendations especially regarding use of epinephrine and also now lidocaine is back in vogue. Practiced with I/O insertion kit into mock femur and shoulder. Did 2 man CPR. The session moved along quickly, goo d location and parking (at least on Sat AM). Would recommend to peers.

Dont be intimidated, the instructor was informative and easy going. He made everyone comfortable and answered any questions and gave feedback. Michael I think was his name. You also get your card right after class. Bathrooms were clean. Free tea and coffee. I am going back to renew when I need to with this place.

ZACH VERY FOCUS ON KEEPING EVERYONE CALM AND RELAXED. THE CLASS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE WITH CURRENT UP DATES. THE INSTRUCTOR HAD LOTS OF FRESH APPLICATIONS, THE CLASS HAS UP TO DATE EQUIPMENT, CLASS ROOM CLEAN, AND DRINKS AND HEALTHY BARS OFFERED.THE INSTRUCTOR WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND OFFERED PLACES TO GO FOR LUNCH; HOWEVER, EVERYONE WAS INVITED TO HAVE LUNCH IN CLASS.THE ATMOSPHERE WAS WARM AND WELCOMING.

My BLS Instructor course was with Nina. She was excellent. She put everyone at ease which ensured a positive learning environment. Took time to ensure everyone understood the reasoning behind the actions and that they were doing them properly. I highly recommend her for any class

Materials, environment and instructor conducive to a positive learning experience. Instructors wealth of experiences helped tie in the concepts of ACLS. Instructor was able to adapt to the varied learning styles of all participants. So appreciative of the opportunity to take a course that was hands-on and did not require all on-line learning. Thank you

Highly recommended! Our teacher Conner was great. He managed to stay on topic, explain things clearly and concisely, answer all of our questions (of which there were many) and keep a light hearted tone to the whole thing which I believe benefitted the class- given the nature of the course.

I went here for the skills check off. The instructor (Nina) was great. She put everyone at ease. I even found street parking. It was easy to find and centrally located. Thanks!

Nice class. Uplifting, happy instructor.

Great training, even with this COVID19 going on its was excellent.

Great instructor (sorry I forgot his name), with some really helpful techniques! I would definitely recommend this for professional healthcare workers and novices alike because he made it fun which can help everyone remember some life saving techniques.

This class teaches you everything you need to know about immediate action concerning responsive and unresponsive CPR both on an adult and infant level. My instructor Nina was extremely thorough and charismatic throughout the entire class, and made sure you had sufficient understanding when it came to specific urgent situations. All in all great class, and would definitely recommend to the next person interested in taking the class.

It was very hands on and I learned a lot of new things that I didnt learn the first I got CPR certified. The instructor was very inviting and engaging. I will definitely come back again.

Straight-forward, clear instruction, including ample practice time with models and teamwork. I use them for all my certifications. Appreciated that they now offer NRP courses.

Overall the class was good. Instructor was great and very knowledgeable. The only set back with the berkeley location is parking. There are not many parking garages available, and if you find one you will be paying at least $15 for the day. The other options are street parking which only has a maximum of 2hours so you would have to leave during class to move your car. But the instructor was very understanding of the parking situation and had no issues with people leaving during class to move their cars. I would recommend this company but maybe try the other locations if parking is an issue for you.

Jeff was a good, knowledgeable instructor. He was able to answer all our questions and had powerful real life experience. The class gave plenty of practice time.

This is my second time taking renewal classes. The class size is great. The instructors are knowledgeable and always open for questions. The class flows well and ends in a timely fashion.

The CPR class was a beneficial refresher course for me since its been a few years since I last took a CPR class. The instructor provided their expertise in an enlightening way that provided context for what we learned. Overall great experience!

Even though the class is 3hours long, it went by very quickly. The instructor was very engaging and fun! Highly recommend this course for anyone who has never taken a CPR course before.

Very good instructor with a great sense of humor. He made the time fly by. When we needed to focus he was great and when we could loosen up a little he was also great. Extremely knowledgeable and professional! Highly recommend.

Instructor was fantastic. Very enthusiastic which made the class fly by!

It was short, informative and well done! You get advice beyond expected norms that is very practical and down to earth. I would highly recommend it and honestly think that everyone should be CPR/AED certified.

Great Class. The instructor was very good. The information was provided in a concise efficient and easy to understand manner.I was not familiar with the Berkeley area and wish there had been some information on where to park.

Professional and a fun environment to learn life saving information! Karl my instructor was excellent and easy to learn from!

Very good lots of info would tell anyone intrested to attend.

Overall great experience! I did the skills portion to the AHA online course. Easy online scheduling, quick but informative classes, entertaining teachers.

Short, sweet and to the point. Jeff was very knowledgeable and able to communicate the information well and efficiently.

Great and funny teacher, spot hard to see and get to otherwise I’d give 5 stars!

Quick and painless certification! Instructor went at a fast paced but always stopped to answer any questions that arose. The course was very fleshed out and structured, with hands-on practice sessions. I’ll be back here for my recertification for sure!

Great class and great instructor really thorough and informative. I booked mine one day In advance with no problems and even got a call from their office to confirm I found what I needed. 5 *****

We were a large group, but instruction was efficient and thorough. Questions were answered well and the material was just the right level of complexity, hopefully making it easier to remember in actual emergency.

Great teacher. He is an EMT with extensive experience and he knows how to keep your attention.

If you are looking for a place to obtain your CPR certificate this is the right place, it counts with really professional personal that clearly explain and teach you all the necessary techniques. It is located on a convenient place easy to reach. The instructors are really helpful and they provide you with the best equipment to practice. I just found this place really convenient for me in all aspects.

Karl is an excellent teacher- very knowledgeable, clear, funny, and also made the 3 hours fly by! This is the 2nd BLS class Ive taken from him and hope hes still teaching when I need to renew in another 2 years.

Awesome CPR class today! I feel confident that I would know what to do, lets just hope I never need to use my new skills! The instructor was engaging, informative, handsome, and funny! I will be back for a recertification in 2 years, for sure.

Professional staff, engaging class, and excellent hands-on instruction. The experience was fun and informative; the best CPR/BLS class I’ve taken during my career. Thank you!

My instructor, Luke, was very knowledgeable and did his best to make sure everyone was learning and felt comfortable. Safety Training Seminars was very responsive and accommodating when I reached out to them.

Excellent course. The proctor was great and VERY knowledgeable. He made a somewhat dry class understandable, thorough, and enjoyable. Will recommend and take the course again.

I signed up a few hours before the class, no issue with registration once i got there. The place was clean, easy to find, great instructor and very informative. Its been 20 years since I last learned CPR and things have changed. These guys got me up to speed asap!

Overall experience was great. The instructor is knowledgeable and informative. Knows how to deliver the lecture properly. 4-stars coz’ there is always room for improvement.

The instructor was knowledgeable and thorough. She covered the material in a timely manner. My class was small allowing us to finish quickly. I would highly recommend this class.

Instructor for BLS skills course was very personable and polite. Respectful of individual skills and knowledge and had attitude of wanting everyone to pass and understand, and ask questions as needed. I will definitely return here for needed courses in the future!

Our instructor was very knowledgeable and he made it very clear and it was easy to learn.

I love it! Jeff, the instructor was very kind and professional. The Environment was comfortable and peaceful. I will come back definitely again in 2 years!

Never been here but very great

Great experience! They focus on exactly what you need to learn to be able to save lives, well organized and easy to understand. Instructor was pleasant and helpful.

Great class! Jeff, the instructor, was super friendly and helpful! So glad I took the class, I feel much more prepared to respond in medical first aid and especially CPR/AED.

Instructer lady was fun, responsive to students and very knowledgable. Session moved quickly, covering the essentials. Easy to get to by BART. Car parking is difficult in downtown Berkeley. Overall a good experience but too expensive for a 2 hour class. Should be a free public service class.

The instructor Karl Ico was excellent and explained everything really well! I would take his course again without hesitation!

Our instructor was wonderful, very knowledgeable and patient. Great class overall.

Excellent instruction. to avoid parking hassle, take BART to downtown berkeley & walk the couple blocks up to university; instructors do plan for students needing to fill meters, though, and allow time if necessary.

I took a BLS course with Jeff and it was honestly the best CPR course Ive taken. He did a great job of efficiently covering the material while also sharing pertinent information from his personal experiences.

Nina and Melissa were great! Their helpful anecdotes will make it easy for me to retain the information. Plus they made the whole training fun. Thanks ladies!!!

Everyone should take this class. Its great and hands on.

I like this class! The only thing I wish is that it doesnt need to be finished in 5 hours. There is still a lot of things to learn. It will make you feel more confident when any emergency happens. It is always better to know what should do than totally have no idea.

Had an experienced instructor who made the experience of learning both fun and relaxed. I already recommended to coworkers!

Nina was great! Class was fun and to the point. Got out on time. Thats always the most important to me.

Great understandable and relative instruction from a knowledgeable instructor with good equipment and snacks!

Quick, efficient and fun way to review BLS!
