I recently completed my EMT training, but for work needed an AHA CPR card specifically. My instructor Jullie did a great job with me and the two other students in my time slot, and the class went very smoothly. I would recommend calling to confirm which card you’ll be getting if that’s relevant to you, as the first time i signed up for a class it turned out I was going to get a Red Cross card. The employee on the phone was very helpful and figured everything out for me.

ST was great to work with to get my First Aid/AED/First Aid certification. I initially had to resked my first attempt and they made that so easy. They made sure there’s clear location and entry directions to my classroom location. The instructor Fritzie and my fellow students were all remote but the class size was small so she could easily field questions and make sure we were doing what was needed. There was room for one other student in my classroom but I was on my own. There was both an adult CPR doll and a baby doll. Both were attached to computers so it could gain data if I was doing CPR properly. The class was the instructor tells us what we would focus on and we would demonstrate and we would move on. If we interrupted flow with random questions on why we were doing things, Fritzie was able to explain it so we would understand but able to move on to the next thing fairly quickly. Fritzie was very knowledgeable and able to run with the punches. My phone overheated and needed time to cool down but I was able to jump in without missing anything and another student has to run to the car for a charger. I would recommend you let students know to bring a charger as you’re using your phone to conduct the class and battery life varies. But that’s a slight glitch and I think it was 5 star service.

I had a very positive experience taking my BLS class with Safety Seminars. Scheduling was quick and easy, and I appreciate that they offer so many convenient locations. What impressed me most was their responsiveness. They actually answer their phones, and whenever I needed assistance, someone was readily available to help. The class was excellent, and if I needed to take ACLS, I would definitely return to Safety Seminars. I highly recommend them.
