Experiences Shared by Santa Barbara Students

Very straight forward process. Received my PALS quickly and efficiently! Clean, organized space to complete RQI portion of the certification.
CPR VAM made getting my BLS renewal SO EASY!! I enjoyed the online modules and even learned a few life-saving tips that were not covered in the previous BLS classes I've taken. The email confirmations, instructions, and additional videos were very helpful. I will definitely be a return customer in 2 years when my BLS is up for renewal and I will recommend CPR VAM to all my healthcare friends! Thank you!
Very convenient to show up for the skills part. Did the work online and showed up the next morning.
Photo from customer review
Convenient, affordable, and very similar to the hospital‑based BLS format. As an RN not currently working in the clinical setting, I needed a quick renewal without a 4–6 hour class. The two‑person team portion was new for me and very helpful. The room was clean, the setup was great, and the email/text instructions were clear. Their team was easy to reach if you need support. Highly recommend.
Couldn’t be easier to get your BLS CPR cert through this company. The online course was quick and efficient, and the office space with the mannequin was as described and easy to access. I would recommend this service to anyone.
Gave reminders of expiration dates, many pointers, very instructional, good communication
Very easy and straightforward user experience!
Great learning modules!! Available online and at your own pace
Thank you!!
Modules were very informative and take about 6 hours for the PALS. The in person skills assessment is very straightforward, I will definitely come back for future certificates!
I am a pediatric critical care physician and I needed to renew my PALS certification. The online module has been updated to include the 2025 AHA recommendations. The skills session was efficient and actually helpful. You have to adjust the mask on both the adult and infant mannequin in order to effectively bag/mask ventilate, just like in real life. I will renew with them again.
Easy and great experience. Such a clever idea for all the folks in our community who need these certifications!
Clean, safe and convenient set up. Needed ACLS and BLS completed ASAP. I would definitely recommend Heart Start CPR. Was able to complete both certifications in just two days.
Very easy to use. The videos provided both with the skill assessment and on the emails prior greatly improved my abilities and helped make me feel confident as I performed. The feedback during the assessment was very helpful, even though I sometimes had to look at the screen to figure out how to improve real-time. I especially liked that I could retake the assessment, even if I already passed. This helped me get better each time, and improve my scores even more. It was a great confidence boost.
I am a traveling medical assistant (& nursing student) from Texas working in California and needed to renew my BLS. This place had a decent price, allowed me to complete the classes online and finish the course on voice activated mannequins in person at a time most convenient for me. I definitely recommend this company for anyone needing a renewal! Thanks for creating a convenient way for full time employees (& students) to complete this course!
I liked it. Nice comfy room and plenty of time to perfect your form after the assessment.
Convenient, although pricey, way to renew your CPR certification at any time. The online course can take a while to complete but the skills part went very fast. They do send you a lot of emails during the whole process.
It was super easy to do! Did the theory part within an hour online and the skills part the next day. At first, it was weird that there was no person, but afte a bit, it was actually kind of cool. Got through the skills session within 20 minutes. Would totally do it again!
I have done so many certifications through the years but this may have been one of the most seamless. So easy to access education materials. Very easy to work into my schedule. Highly recommend for healthcare workers with busy schedule trying to fit this in
Very helpful and patient
Traveled to Santa Barbara and needed to update my BLS for my RN licensure. Jefferey helped me out quickly and timely with the class. Finished the skills portion with the manikin station within 10 minutes and received my Ecard within 20 minutes of finishing. Awesome services and customer experience.
I’m glad I found this place, with being so busy with work and the kids I needed something that worked with my schedule. The coursework is online and skills at a testing facility. I failed the first adult skill compression test but I was allowed to test again until I passed.
I loved how easy it was to access this facility and do my in-person BLS training on my own. You are in a room by yourself with a manikin and a computer walking you through how to perform each task. I appreciated the ability to keep trying/retrying until I passed or felt 100% comfortable with my skills. The owner was also very responsive and helpful when I encountered a minor hiccup. 10/10 recommend Heart Start CPR!
I've gotten my ACLS certification every few years from this school for the last ten years. I find the cooperative teaching atmosphere very helpful at reducing my anxiety and helping me learn more. I recommend them highly.
A big Hearty thank you for the great experience! You’re such the best training center for my ACLS & PALS courses. Highly recommended!🫶
