What Our Certified Students in California Say

This is the second time I’ve used Heart Start CPR, it’s very easy and quick with excellent feed back on technique.
Very straightforward process and helpful videos. Would recommend!
Second time doing my ACLS and BLS here. Quick and efficient, always have many times available, will do here again.
Lifesaver for busy healthcare providers
Process was easy and use friendly. Would recommend. Easy to find and clean!
Easy to sign up for classes. They sent reminders for the course work and video links to additional tips for the skills portion. The facility was easy to find with their instructions that were sent. It was clean, well lit, and they even provided a fan. Overall wonderful experience.
I needed a last minute place to renew my certifications while I was out of town and came across this place. I really appreciated that they had range of availability compared to a lot of other places where they only have classes available certain parts of the week. This format is an introvert’s dream come true without compromising the quality of skills you need to be assessed for. After the online modules are completed and sent over, an email is sent over for the location and instructions. The instructions are clear and straightforward. There is a mannequin, ventilation bag and computer to access the program that will assess the hands on portion. There are videos sent over in an email as well with instructions on what to expect for each skill but there is a practice session before each skill is assessed as well. The live feedback was very helpful as it can visualize your skills improve in real time compared to the simple green dot often used on the mannequins. I was able improvement on things I haven’t been critiqued on before in in-person classes such as proper ventilation rate and timing. The whole process was easy, transparent and I was able to learn things I hadn’t picked up in my in person classes.
It was great and very nice system would come again!
Very convinient process and great learning experience. Its very important for busy healthcare workers to have a friendly smooth process !
Very straight forward process. Received my PALS quickly and efficiently! Clean, organized space to complete RQI portion of the certification.
Thank you for making recertification easy peasy!
Welp that was easy! I was able to go from "ah I need my BLS card" to BLS certified in <24 hours thanks to the convenience and ease of this program. I signed up for a skills checkoff of which there were plenty of openings, received detailed email instructions, completed all the pre-course online work, then stopped by the testing center for the hands on skills check off. I'm super satisfied with how smoothly this went and highly recommend it to others!
HeartStart CPR is the best!
