San Mateo CPR Certification Classes

I did a fair share of research before settling on a place to get BLS/​CPR certified and I’m very happy I chose this place. Let me tell you why!
— Competitive pricing. It seemed like other places were a little cheaper but that’s because you have to pay for the manual separately. The manual price is already lumped into the registration fee here.
— Small class size. You won’t be able to shrink into the shadows here, which is definitely a good thing because you’ll want to get your practice in and also get feedback from the instructor.
— Engaging instructor. I had Chris G as my instructor and he was funny, entertaining, and of course very knowledgable. 3 hours of videos and demonstrations seems daunting but he made the time pass quickly with his jokes, anecdotes, and enthusiasm.
— Online scheduling and reminders. It was so easy to hop on the website, look at my class options, and register for the session I wanted. I received a reminder email for my session and after completing the course, I got another email that said they’ll remind me again when my certification is about to expire. How kind :)
— Modern demonstration materials. The adult– and infant-​sized models give immediate feedback via red, yellow, and green lights so you know if your compressions are acceptable.
— Easy to find and free parking.
*get ready for my corny closer…* I went home that day with my certification card in hand but also with confidence in all the skills I learned in my BLS/​CPR class. Highly recommend this place!

I had a great experience in Chris’s class. He was very thorough and I left feeling prepared for any future situation. I would recommend this class to anyone in the healthcare field requiring BHS CPR.

Chris was quite knowledgeable and to the point. I have taken several of these classes elsewhere and this was the most effecient and thorough class i have had. I feel a lot more confident with my basic life support skills after taking this course with Chris.

I would recommend this class to everyone. In addition to what Max R. said, I would say this is the best class out there. I’m glad I took mine here.

The best CPR class I have taken. Well taught, experience driven, and fast paced. I have taken several CPR classes that were very long and boring. This class I came out learning new things and not dreading the time I spent there. Thank you Chris you’re doing a great job and I’m recruiting fellow trainers to see you.

Service is great! David made the class fun while being serious as well as educational! I am 13 and I had a great time. First, they ask why you are there to better help you understand certain topics, although they still go through everything. They ask for any questions, frequently! I had no problems at all!

Very easy & convenient way to get certified. We took the Pediatric class because we have a baby at home. We feel so much better having some knowledge about how to help our baby if she ever needs it. Great class!

This is the second time taking the class with Chris! He is an excellent instructor following the guidelines, adding tips that have been used by first responders and tailoring the course to adjust for differently educated students.
I would most definitely refer them and will be returning!

I have to have CPR training every two years for work. San Mateo CPR has a lot of classes at different times for any schedule. Chris was my instructor and did a fantastic job — teaching the class, staying on course, and answering questions succinctly.
We did not get out early, which I always look for in any class. They DID provide coffee and tea, which was wonderful! The classroom was small so it limited the size of the class (we had 7 in ours) which was nice. Parking was good, facilities had only one bathroom, which is not ideal. They did have knee pads for us to use if we chose to do CPR on the floor. That was good!
Overall I would definitely go here again, and I am hoping they start ACLS so I can take that course from them as well.

Fantastic class with a very passionate and fun instructor. 3.5 hours went by in a flash. I’ll definitely be back to re-​cert in 2017. Thanks again for making the material fun to learn and easy to remember.

I highly recommend this class. Not all cpr classes are acceptable for child care providers in a licensed center, but they offer one that is. Great instructor and small class size.

My second year taking Chris’ class. I completely recommend this CPR BLS class. The smaller classes were engaging and fun. There are always many dates and weekends to choose from, Sunday mornings were convenient. Thank you Chris for the recertification, plus the snacks and coffee were much appreciated :)

Highly recommend this class! Chris does a GREAT job and his real life examples make the class more interesting. Thanks Chris!

Probably the best CPR class ever for me. As a healthcare provider of many years, I have taken a lot of CPR re-​certifications over the years — Chris’ instructions were clear and concise, and very easy to understand for all students of this small group class of various backgrounds.

Small class but it was better that way. Chris was an awesome instructor and he made the class interesting. He would pause the video time to time to explain the part or to give us a real life example. Every questions were answered as well as real life examples were given. Excellent program!

The class was small so all got personal Time with the instructor margarita, she was very pleasant and caring and made sure all of us understood that CPR and first aid can be for everyone. Her Russian accent was entertaining to.

Really fantastic CPR class, Chris was a great instructor! I especially appreciated that he gave practical advice, and would answer questions with stories of real events as examples. This really made the information sink in, and gave the class a beyond-​the-​textbook kind of feel. Highly recommended.

The space is nice, clean and my instructor was very good and teaching and explaining questions of concerns.
I will definitely will recertify with them.

I took a first aid class with Chris. It was excellent. The three hours flew by. Chris told good stories from his experience, and clearly explained the content. We also did some exercises. Highly recommend this class!

This was the best CPR class I ever took!!!
Chris did an awesome job in relaying information in a fun, relaxed, and enjoyable atmosphere. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and fun!
I would recommend taking any of these classes for ALL professionals.
