20 Best Emt Programs In Los Angeles, CA (2022 Updated)

As a young man going to college for the for the first time, this was a great experience for me. I thought I would hate college, since I hated going to school my entire life, but wow this college is awesome. The school is really small. You will learn how to get around with ease. The campus is also on a hill, and surrounded by lovely nature, trees and animals of All sorts. Which I personally love. The tutoring system is amazing and I’m completely satisfied. I really abuse the math and English tutors everyday! The library is beautiful (my favorite place). The food though could use improvements though, but that’s about it. 99% of people are very friendly so it’s a great environment for me personally. I never thought I would love going to school until now thank god wow! I will never transfer to another college I love this place and I can wait to start school again. P.s if your taking English classes I recommend taking Mr Callinan best English professor hands down. He changed my life and made me love going to school. Cheers! -Allan MoraAU The Gypsie

Rio Hondo has evolved so much since i first started taking classes in 2006. One of the things that hasn't changed is the attention and support that the staff give the students. Many new buildings like the library have been reconstructed and updated to accommodate the return of all the students back to campus after enduring the pandemic. Alos a good place to hike. you can take the far side entrance by the police academy and continue on up the side road all the way to the top. its pretty challenging but the views are great. Im currently taking a ceramics class, and its quite enjoyable and you get to take home all your completed work.Andrew Ramirez

Best Community College I have been to, they have a lot to offer. Their programs help to guide students into their specific major. The career counseling helped me realize which career I want to be in. Also I found the math lab very useful and they even offer it Saturday mornings. They have the best staff who are very knowledgeable and caring and listen to you and offer the best advice to achieve your individual goals. I highly recommend this school for anyone who needs the help and guidance to help them achieve their educational goals.Jennifer Rios

HOT Mess. Vaccination Mandate rescinded. Jeopardizing everyone's health in hopes that more students will attend. Butchering of Food Security Program to make it unusable and pointless. Campus construction underway. ZERO signage. There are NO services available after 5. You can't even access the cafeteria area. If you're taking an evening class I hope you bought your own food, that doesn't need reheating or you can afford to buy something off site. Day 1 Air conditioning failures. Water fountains dysfunctional already. SMC is not at all ready to have students back on campus. And SMC does NOT care. Or rather SMC CARES… ALL ABOUT PROFITS. Maybe after another 2 years of online only instruction Santa Monica College will be ready?Xanatos Hutchinson

The campus here at SMC has gone quite the transformation in the past few years. The Science building and the Welcome center are completely new and look great. The only problem with the campus is the parking and lane infrastructure needs an upgrade. The lines of cars around campus affect the local community in a negative way. As a local resident, I think the campus should invest in buying more parking and perhaps adding turning lanes. Ubers used to block Pico for blocks but they fixed that. The campus is beautiful and even boasts a fourth of July fireworks show in the summers!! I just wish they would invest in the local traffic and help us regular folks out.Madie Parbaz

I am a homeless student. I have had many issues getting my financial aid money. Since the semester started I wake up on the street in tears. I feel very defeated with this process. They withhold aid for weeks on end after classes have already started. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! They recently had an audit and I gave all bad reviews mainly because of financial aid. I’m exhausted, not motivated to engage in my full time course load. This is why some people make bad decisions in life. A system that does NOT have my best interest as a priority. You will be financially unstable if you attend this college. Good luck!T P

I transferred here because it offered a program I wanted to take. The first time, the class was canceled due to there being not enough sign ups. Fine. That was Spring and now we’re in the Fall semester. Once again, the class was canceled. It was canceled 1 week before the 2nd session was to start. I now only have 2 classes (a 3rd one was dropped because it overlapped the class that was eventually canceled). My teacher is cool so, no complaints. My online class…. it takes my teacher 2-3 weeks just to grade your work. I’ve done online classes at other schools and was graded within the week. I’m going back to my previous school. Just going to have to change my concentration.Jarmaine M

I chose this college because it was ranked as one of the top ten community colleges in California for online courses. Diversity is great, many certificates and degrees offered, and the counselors I’ve spoke with over the phone were polite and helpful. They wait until more than a month into the semester to process student loans – and the form should specify that it’s for the year. I filled it out thinking it was only for the semester. No return emails from financial aid in the matter. Overall I would recommend WLAC, but their admissions and financial aid offices need to work on responding to students.Jason G

The school was okay. The admission office is terrible. I enjoyed the professors they have great ones. Working here was bad there’s nepotism and favoritism allowed. The staff isn’t the nicest I think student should be respected a bit more and heard. As an employee here I know I tried to help as many students sincerely. The process needs to be more efficient. My experience here as a student worker was negative. As a student was okay because the right people guided me. I see other students were lucky enough to be treated well.Natalia Garcia

Graduated here in 2018. Yes the school is not perfect. but it is affordable and offers all sorts of academic programs for students & for those who are interested in learning a new skill. A few issues with the homeless people who easily make their way in the school's restroom and leave all their mess inside. A bit more security is also needed because of the area surrounding the school, but overall it's a good community college. Looking back now, I miss every moment I got to spend here. Class of 2018 !Ricardo Perez

Hello the college is full of students that live in the street and city is trying to make new parking structures but people can't afford rent payments. The next subject I want to talk about is the LA City Clerks office is hiring in November hopefully the election makes it better for independent voters to work more and help the community. Business administration can make changes in your life when you need accounting done but what about mechanical gang activities who will fight against immigration?Miguel Gutierrez

I graduated spring 2022 and is the best experience in my life. 2014 to 2016 the services are bad. When they build the student services building 2017 They are improving till now and a lot of students go there to enroll very good service now than before. I recommend to all students to take this college is a good.reel Woo

Adventist Health Center is conducting a Vaccine center at The Glendale Community College in the parking structure at the top of the hill right off of the 2 Fwy Off the Mountain exit. The staff are very helpful. There is very clear and strict mandates on masks and health protocols. Please follow signage and bring your masks. You will need your ID for check in. The nurses are very helpful and many of them have worked in the ER with patients and have seen the effects of the pandemic. So most of them are very happy to administer the vaccine and help prevent the spread of this terrible disease. We are all so happy to share the change in the world and grow together. There is Hope and these are the people that are here to spread that hope. 3👍🏼’s out of 3👍🏼’s the staff and Nurses are very helpful and thoughtful.SEAN GONZALES

Theres an old Armenian blonde lady in Financial Aid office with glasses, shes honestly and honestly the rudest person ive ever seen in my entire life. I dont know what was going on in her life that moment but she did not help me whatsoever to give her drop off my fafsa documents about academic appeal that I received from the outstanding counselor here in GCC. The fafsa that lady referred me to find a random person to help me upload the documents into the website which she didnt even told me what website to upload to. She had the worst attitude ive ever seen. I felt so uncomfortable that moment that I didnt feel safe for being around herArmo ArmemianHumor_

Love this school, but parking isn't great when a new semester starts. They do have tons of it, just isn't enough. Covid changed the parking issues, now there is parking galore.Carolina Ramirez

The general unprofessionalism from the administration and the staff left me nothing but frustration and a refund. I was enrolled in a Veterinary Assistant program just to have my instructor “disappear” after the first day with no follow up or any information on her well being. The most information I received was hearing the course was cancelled after asking the faculty NUMEROUS times over the course of three weeks. Never once did they think to communicate to the STUDENTS who willingly signed up and PAID for the program.Kalina Camargo

Hands down The best place to go to if you wanna learn cullinary hotel restaurant experience. Mr shepherd is super friendly laid back chill down to earth and goes the extra mile for you. I learned so much about culinary in the 6th month program. Best cullinary class ever !!!!!!!!!!Carter Belfort

Grateful for this school I went here during my junior and senior year in high school for free and best choice ever. Got a job after high school in what I love doing. Great teachers affordable education best trade school ever love it ❤️🙏Carina Rodriguez

The school itself is very deceptive and nitpicks their students for arriving a few minutes late from a lunch or if you need to take a day off. Expect to be treated like a child and watched from their cameras. The school has no problem lying to students; our class went through hell trying to get the labs, site visits, the MRI simulator program they installed 2 weeks before our class was over they promised and we paid for. The recruiters will tell you about their "associate degree" but you try to hide that it’s an associate of applied science (AAS) degree which is a degree that takes 2 years but credits and not transferable and don’t count towards a bachelor’s degree. The administration staff is not on your side. Previous classes communicated to us how the school constantly drops the ball and they’ve been waiting 3 weeks for the school to pay the fee so they could take their ARMRIT tests and get their certification. Students who fall behind on their payments have been harassed despite paying what they could and being fully aware they can’t graduate without paying the balance. A teacher we had for a few months did not have a teaching skill set and was often rude and inappropriate to students that asked questions. The school had issues with this teacher in the past and had to re-teach all of physics to the previous MRI class as a result but the school brought him back not only for our class but again for the class that followed ours. We were amazed that after all we went through and the negative history they still brought him back. The school attempts to be fast paced and rush the studying but doesn’t supply good teachers, good books or good resources. The anatomy book for example is intended for massage therapists and physical therapists. At the time of our class there was only a single skeleton missing many pieces. There is no physical MRI simulator here, only a hospital bed and a construction laser line hanging from the roof (See Photo). You’re supposed to lay under it and have someone set up a scan by moving the bed. Our class was promised monthly site visits by the recruiters but only had two site visits. You'd think for the $2700 a month each student pays they could invest a little into the class room and curriculum. I have literally spent my personal time making presentations and tests for the class because that particular teacher was not computer literate. You start off in medical terminology with Caesar who is a great teacher and everything will seem well. After 2 or 3 months depending on if he teaches medicolegal they move you to a different teacher and the trouble will start. Eventually our class did get a good teacher but she quit on the last day of class tired of dealing with the schools BS. Complaints result in the teacher getting in the line of fire because they weren't able to handle it themselves or the school attempting to sweep it under the rug. One class for example had a known drug user who has passed out in class high but they allowed him to return, later in the week he was found overdosed in his car. This place is just one bad decision and one shortcut after another. I was personally shown the door because I had come to the school director with class-wide issues. The owner of the school David personally came to our class and basically told us it is what is and if you dont like it you can go. Which is easy for them to say because the MRI credits don't transfer to other schools so all your money, work and time goes to waste if you leave. If you try and file a formal complaint the owner David and his staff will hold a meeting which you are not permitted to record but Silvia the director will take notes on and leave out any pertinent information that makes the school look bad. If you have a class wide complaint, follow my advice and GO AS A CLASS. They are your judge and jury so you have no recourse besides sending a letter to the ACCSC or filing a class action lawsuit but at least they can’t argue with numbers.Jeremy Boggs

PLEASE READ! DO NOT GO HERE! If I could give this school a rating lower than One star I would. I am a current student here for phlebotomy and the communication with the staff has been absolutely horrible. The coordinator that is suppose to find you site, Brittany Wilson, does not do her due diligence to get the clinics that you are to be attending prepared for your arrival and you are walking into (in most cases) a facility that is not COVID regulated, practicing unethical methods of venipuncture, and requiring you to do administrative work more than the actual internship you are there for. My classmates and I have complained to the management staff as well as Brittany herself and have gotten no where. The school has externship sites that they are not renewing the contract with and do not have insurance covering us going to these sites due to an expired contract. The first site I was placed at was Spanish speaking only, the second was practicing starting IVs and drawing blood with no gloves on, and the third that I was placed I was told that this site was fully aware of me starting on 3/15 with their clinic and notified staff (Leslie Kong, Brittany Wilson, Sylvia Espin) that I have taken off those days per that information. I EVEN HAD THE CONVERSATION OVER THE PHONE!!! CONFIMRING. Yesterday I receive an email stating that the site decided not to take me and my classmate. After speaking with Brittany Wilson no less than two days ago. This is ridiculous. This school just wants to take your money, not give you the proper supplies for education, and is not a reputable business. Nor as an academic facility do they have a library. Do not go here!tyler snowden

Im a graduate from NP College I completed the Medical Assistant course. The school was great and the staff memebers are very helpful and nice. My recruiter was Maria Razo she was great and very helpful throughout the whole course i was there. Any questions or concerns i had her or Jeovanni help me.the hours are felxable and The material for each course was well explained and instructed. After the terminology and anatomy comes the hands on which i felt i learned so much from and made it more comfortable when i went out in the field. My teacher explained and showed us each technique well and gave us confidence when we felt like we couldnt do things and when it came for our final my teacher help me prep for the test and passed the first time. Graduation was great also. Over all the school was great and when graduating the school helped me get a job at HealthCare Partners right away and ive been with them for 6years now thanks to them helping me get here. So yes i would recommend this school not just for there Medical Assistant course but there other courses as well so take the time and if your looking for a career go check them out finacial services will also help you to see your payment options.KaT G.

PROS: -Nearly all of courses are open enrollment, which makes it very easy to enroll. -There is a range of classes and many of them are offered both online and on campus. -The staff are very friendly and helpful. -The refunds department is very helpful. -Enrollment is easy to work with. -Certificate programs can be more applicable to real world than some undergrad degrees Neutral: -There is a clear distinction between UCLA and UCLA Extension. Cons: -No student ID cards are issued to extension students -Generally excluded from using library, recreational activities, some other resources that require a student ID. -You do not get a student email account -The extension parking permits are only usable after 4:30pm, so if you perhaps find yourself at the school to meet with your professor or student services earlier in the day, you will need to find another parking option. -The Data Science Intensive program is not worth the money. You will likely need to Google all your coursework and homework.Andrew Sein

I am extremely disheartened with the deterioration in student support services. Instead of passing the buck, pretending a request hasn't been received, asking for more steps to be taken, more hoops to be jumped, and employing diversion tactics, how about we all do our jobs and take accountability for our actions or lack thereof. Another problem is the staff doesn't stick. Students don't know whom to contact for any issues. One doesn't always want to bother the academic advisor or DSO. I do appreciate new initiatives. International students were thrown out of the country on July 6, 2020. We are dealing with the trauma of a disrupted life and demolished dreams. The new circumstances are not yet favorable for international students. I applaud the efforts of the school (UCLA Extension with UCLA) to help us cope in this regard even if some instructors don't get it.Rati Tripathi

UCLA Extension has shown themselves to be incredibly disappointing in how they support their students (they don't). With the recent administration ruling, which threatened international students' stay in the states, this institution has given students zero productive updates and guidelines. Nothing on their website. Nothing on their social media. They did not reach out to their students to show any solidarity in this very difficult and scary time. Avoid this place if you can especially if you're a student planning to study abroad. Just by their lack of response /especially/ during a time as difficult as this, they will not support you if anything else comes up. If you're looking for a school that cares about you and your education, and not just your money, THIS ISN'T IT. Find a school that cares.Nina N

I came out all the way from Hawaii for this program because I heard it was one of the best programs in the nation! Then being apart of the class sealed the deal for me! JP and his crew are the best instructors that will get you confident in your abilities to be able to respond effectively and efficient! They made me feel welcomed as if I was family! Truly the best program to start my career and they got me ready to respond and help save lives! Let’s goooo!!! Aloha!Z. Gonsalves

The Institute of Healthcare was an amazing experience to have obtained my EMT education. JP the director of the program real takes his teaching to heart and does everything he can to make sure his students succeed. Small class sizes that allow more Q&A opportunities to develop better skills and knowledge of the subject. Extremely satisfied with the program. I Passed my NREMT test and now am a certified EMT in California.Mitchell Coogan

Just passed my EMT cognitive exam! I’m so grateful for JP and his instructors for giving me the knowledge and preparation to be able to succeed in a career in EMS, they’re awesome. I highly recommend this course to anyone. I’m transitioning out of the military right now and couldn’t feel more confident. You will learn some great skills and meet some great people!Leonel Gomez

I have to represent my school! I dont know about the other programs but I finishes the LVN program graduated in Jan. 2015 the nursing department is amazing!! The school really goes above and beyond to train us and give us as much experience as they can. Shout out to Dr. Haney the nursing director!! Love this guy! He is a nurse and guess what also a Physician. We his students couldent be in better hands. Like every school they are not perfect but knowing you have a dedicated and devoted director that is willing to play theory instructor, clinical instructor, and spend his nights and weekends helping you and your education incase his staff fails, thats priceless! He is a role model to all students and staff and proves it if needed. I have the luxury to say a Dr. Was my theory instructor in nursing school and my classmates and I slammed dunked the NCLEX yeeea!! About job hunting I recommend alredy being in the field before you go spend $29k on a program obviously. I was alredy a CNA for 2yrs. And it was easier for me to get a job. Which I got right away by the way! $22/hr start off pay couldent get better for me and my family. I am so thankful to this school. Mr.Lee you are deeply appriciated and loved as well!Carla Espinosa

Staff was very nice. However, the ultrasound program is not accredited. When asked about if and how many students were employed here or near LA after graduation, they only kept saying examples of very few students that got employed in other states and small cities, pretty much anywhere that would overlook the program not being accredited because they needed employees. And even then it took them months to find the job. You can't sit for the ARDMS exam after graduation until after you have a year of full time paid work experience (which will be nearly impossible to find a job with out having done the exam or going to a caheep school.) Do your research please before picking a college for the AAS DMS program. This one wasn't the one for me. I decided to go to an accredited school which was only $1,000 more than WCUI. Worth the money because the school is very nice, modern, and its less of a hassle to sit for the ARDMS exam (which ima able to do quickly with out the paid work experience because of going to an accredited school.)Jennifer Martinez

West Coast Ultrasound Institute has been amazing to me, and every part of my experience they have been positive and given me high confidence that I made the right choice when I picked this school to get my training. The equipment is always available and the staff are super helpful, going above and beyond to help me when I need extra learning, and giving me encouragement when I’m on the right track. Fariba is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had in my life, she knows her stuff! As a lab instructor she is professional, Polite and she has great teaching skills, she cares about her students. When I need help she’s there, in class or out of class. Her instructions are very clear, with her lectures and techniques given to me and the other students to become more efficient sonographers. I know with these facilities and the staff here at WCUI, I’m going to be well prepared for a career in the field. I also just recently passed my SPI board exam. I’m very grateful for My Physics instructor &all the staff here. Thank you to all.Erojas C

Key Points: -Clean & Friendly -Quick and Informational -Multiple Class Dates & Options -Lots of Parking This was my first time getting a BLS Certification for Healthcare Provider and I definitely plan on coming to Save a Life CPR again when it expires! I liked that Save a Life CPR had several class dates, I was literally able to register for a class the very next day. In addition, the facility follows strict COVID guidelines and had all of their equipment sanitized, people wearing masks, staying 6 ft apart, limited occupancy, etc. The instructor Kathy was to-the- point and mostly used a hands-on approach to learning. She is quick to answer any questions or help if needed during the training. At the end of the training module, the class reviews the final exam together and you can get your BLS card printed out before you leave! Thank you Save a Life CPR for an easy and hassle free experience, couldn't have asked for more!Rebeca Roberts

Really great course, thorough yet concise! I'm going into clinicals for nursing school and needed to get BLS certified. I was nervous but Save A Life CPR made me feel extremely comfortable! The material is taught in a gratifying yet easy to understand way and our instructor did a great job making sure everyone was on the same page. She was enthusiastic throughout the entire in-person course, which ran from 10am-1pm and broke down everything in a memorable way. The BLS class covered infant, child and adult CPR as well as choking relief and how to use an AED. The instructor was one of the best instructors out there, would 10/10 recommend!Top Producer

Efficient, expedient and convenient. I have used this location twice for AHA BLS and been very happy with their process, cleanliness and how quickly I was able to book at a reasonable price ($60 for renewal mid 2022). Cards were emailed before I had left the building so I can't ask for a better experience. Stairs and elevator are by the Optometry sign.Ryan Beatty

I had a great experience at Fun CPR with our trainer, Eric Lopez. He was concise, smart, funny and thorough. This is only my second time attending a cpr training. The first time I went was through the red cross and I don't feel like I retained the information that well, which is not the norm for me when learning. It was exceptionally dry and not very thorough. I decided to try the American Heart Association training via Fun CPR hoping for a better experience and because I now have a baby and want to be prepared to handle the worst-case scenario. I now feel confident I can help my baby in the event of a situation requiring either intervention due to choking, or requiring CPR. Thank you so much you guys!Suzanne Selken Calzada

Fun CPR class is a friendly, interactive and a great way for refreshing your knowledge. It’s a fun class and you don’t feel the time that you have been sitting, listening & practicing for a few hours with your team members. We have been working with Fun CPR and we are very happy with their services. We are confident in case of any emergencies/accidents w/children, we can take care of it calmly and effectively till help arrive. Thank you!Primary 1 Orion Montessori School

Fun CPR did not disappoint on the fun piece of learning CPR. I feel confident after the training that I would be able to help a fellow humanbeing in need of CPR. Thank you for offering such an amazing learning experience.Claudia Rucker

I took 2 classes from SureFire CPR just a day apart. 1st is the Live Online format for the Hospital Fire and Life Safety. Then, the 2nd class is the BLS Provider that is on-site/campus. On both classes, instructors are knowledgeable. It was my first time enrolling on the Hospital Fire and Life Safety class. So I don't have other training providers to compare SureFire CPR to. But the live online format is convenient. For the BLS Provider, I can definitely say that the training was marvelous, fun, and a great way to learn. Compared with other training providers that you get to sit and watch videos for the whole duration of the session (plus some minutes for skills and written test); the class with instructor Mayson easily takes the top spot for the best and effective method in training students/participants. Real world expectations. Real world scenarios. Not a boring class/training. For the BLS Provider training, the site or campus, is quite nice. A great place. Parking spots are plenty; probably because I have yet to see other tenants in the building.Thomas Christopher Ty

I was required to take two courses through SureFire for school and I was more than impressed with both of them. The instructors made the classes fun and enjoyable (shoutout Isaias and Antonio!) The process was very simple and they have so many class times to choose from. Highly recommend any class through SureFire!Alison Koumelis

The information learned was different … more related to life experience with 2 talented presenters. The only negative was the links for the videos. Perhaps they could be in the presentation? Connecting to the exam uggh too complicated …that process needs to be simpler . Great class! Thank you GailGail Ann Donheiser

I do not recommend the school to anyone. I did not take the certified medical assistant exam right away and when I call them to ask them about it they said it was too late and I would not be able to take the exam. This is in fact not true. I found out I have 60 months from the time of graduation to take the exam. I misplaced my diploma and in order to get it they required me to come in in person and pay in cash and then return to pick it up. I need this diploma in order to sit for the exam and I work Monday through Friday 8 to 5. They are completely unwilling to work with me or help me. This is unlike many of the other schools available. I was very young and had no guidance at the time and will never recommend the school ever to anybody.coco cook

What makes this school great is the Job Placement Assistant Advisor Christopher Aono, he's a very Optimistic Guy full of energy always ready to help the Students. Although I only met Mr. Aono for only a month he has been very helpful for placing me in a clinic to do my Externship. From all the other staff he really reaches out from the rest by keeping in contact asking me how am doing at the clinic. Also he has a good Vibe that brings to the school and for him to be the First person to say congratulations to me for graduating and to say that he's proud of me for completing my hours and getting hired is overall great. Christopher Aono Thank you for your help.Andrew Ulloa

The class and professor Dr. Rivera was great ! But lack of communication with students is what this school needs to fix on. It can be messy at times how they work. They give out checks and my last one was never given because it was given to the wrong student. I tried calling the school and they would transfer me to different line and it seems like no one picks up the phone at all. They just have you jumping around and it’s like no one can help you out after all and you gotta find your solution to your problem yourself.jenipher reyes

I had a great experience at this training center yesterday! This facility is friendly, has great equipment, small class sizes, and we were fortunate to have a very knowledgeable instructor, Doctor Sergio. We had 5 people in our class, and we were encouraged to practice our skills as many times as we needed. There was plenty of equipment, and the equipment was new and up-to-date. The prices are better than other centers, but they do not skimp on quality. They even had coffee, breakfast rolls and snacks for us! Great learning environment and comfortable facility!Lynn Nottingham

Wonderful school and very qualified instructors. I initially chose this school because it is close to my house, but I am very glad I signed up for their CNA program. Both the classroom and clinical instructors went above and beyond to make sure we were well prepared for the state exam, as well as the office staff, who made sure we had all the paperwork in order to receive our CNA license. I am also thinking about signing up for an RNA class and there is no other school I’d like to take it at.Alexandra Campeanu

I took an ACLS class at the North Hollywood location and loved it! The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. Not only did I come out of the class learning a lot but I also had a lot of fun. The instructor, Sergio, was extremely educated and was extra patient with each and every one of us throughout the entire class. My favorite part of the whole experience was how we did scenarios and pretended we were running an actual code.Thank you for a great experience!Anna Bakalian

So-Cal CPR was great! Instructor Shah Mundell offered me a professional learning environment where I got to learn key skills in CPR, AED use, and First Aid. I highly recommend So-Cal CPR. It was overall a great learning experience that will definitely come to use. If I were to encounter a situation, I would definitely be prepared because of this class. I will definitely be coming back when it's time to renew my certification. Thank You So-Cal CPR.William Dang

This instructor is very good. He tries to skip all the mind numbing stuff he can and is very hands on. He is very critical and I appreciate all his criticising along the way, it helped me with my form and proper procedures. If you are contemplating on renewing or getting your CPR/ First aid. This is definitely the place to go. And it's very very affordable compared to other places.brian lopez

Shah was a great instructor! Thoroughly explained everything and answered all the questions I had. He knew I was going for personal training and made sure to hit on a lot of details related to gym settings and situations I would come across. Would recommend to anyone looking for cpr or first aid training.Micheal Baker

What a fabulous place! I needed to renew my CPR certification for work and Brent ran us through the best training I've ever experienced. He is so personable, smart, and on the ball, and he led us in a really well-done, appropriately-challenging, and super-positive and -encouraging way. I usually dread doing my training, but now I can't wait to renew in a couple of years! I chose the online/in-person combo training, and the online portion took a while but was fun to do, and I felt prepared for the in-person segment. And I was concerned about doing this during COVID, but the precautions and distancing felt safe that way. PLUS, there are snacks to grab on the way out!! All in all an amazing experience and highly recommended!Kate Jayne

I did the adult pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification. The place is set very nice , super clean, and pleasant to spend the 2 hours of the training. Nice choice of coffee, tea, water and light snacks are set for you. Brent the owner is amazing! He is very energetic and dedicated to make sure you understand the material and enjoy the learning process. Most importantly, Brent made me feel comfortable and added to my confidence by going over all the details and answering all of my questions. I feel now , that I can actually help someone in case of a health emergency. Highly recommend this place for your certification needs!Irina Valkov

I’ve never had so much fun in a CPR class! Brent is really knowledgeable and energetic and keeps students engaged. The facility is really clean and the equipment is in great condition. I really appreciated the indicator lights on the CPR mannequins for a visual cue of proper compression rate and depth. Plus, snacks and drinks were available. I can’t say enough good things about my experience here. Really awesome place ☺️M B

I highly recommend this course! You can do part of the training online at your convenience prior to the in-person skills portion. Instructor Alejandro delivered the in-person skills instruction and assessment with high quality and efficiency. As a fellow educator who understands educational psychology, I 100% support Alejandro and his teaching strategies. He uses visuals, recall, quality questioning, and applies critical thinking and logical to help students transfer information to long-term memory.amanda del core

I took the Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED course with Lupe at the Carson facility and have no complaints! The instructor was very knowledgeable, answered all questions and it was honestly one of the best CPR classes I have ever taken. I''ll be recommending this company to everyone I know.Crystal Cooper

The First Aid/CPR/AEC course was really good. I learned how to potentially help save someone's life in case of life threatening emergency. My trainer was Siara, and she was very informative, helpful and kept things fun while we learned. Definitely recommend!Ashley Graham

I have been using Elite Medical Training, (New name, same owner), for about 10 years now! I love that Wendy texts me to let me know when one of my cards is about to expire, she makes it easy to get into a class, and her classes are small so you feel that you are able to get the attention you need.Brenda Severson

This class is perfect for those who just want a bls renewal. As a first timer taking this course, It felt very rushed. I left feeling slightly confused and unconfident. Update: They were kind enough to offer to retake the course. That was much appreciatedCarolina Lorente

This was a fast process. They made a boring class fast and beneficial. I learned some new stuff and will definitely go there again when I need to recertify again. I appreciate the way the teach there as well.Vincent Gionta

I just spent 3 day courses for the "IV Therapy & Blood Withdrawal" class on last Labor Day weekend. I was very impressed by the depth of theory and hands-on practices on Mannequin (hands & Arms) and other classmates(?? Yeah!!). The Instructor was excellent, knowledgeable, and very patient. Everyone in the class was nervous about starting the IV and Blood Withdrawal for the first time,,,but hey, try this course where the instructor can go with you in one-to-one instruction and she really helps you to release all your tensions about these procedures. I really recommend it to everyone, especially for the new grads. F.Y.I.—-The practicing Mannequins are pretty old. Can you buy a new one??Patricia Lee

Fast and intense course of IV & Blood Withdrawal, however the Instructor Peachie, was very helpful since day one. She made sure all information was well understood and made sure everyone was on the same page. Third day was worth the drive. The clinical site was very clean and all the equipment was provided in order to be successful on passing our skill. I look forward on taking more courses here. Thank you California Medical Training Center!Adriana Galaviz

Mike was a great instructor ! I took the three day in person course and was nervous I wasn’t going to pass the exams but did much better than I thought! It was a lot of information but the instructor gave us a great foundation with the materials covered and the ones that were provided. Mike was a knowledgeable and funny instructor, & used helpful mnemonics for remembering info .I definitely recommend!!Pearl Vela
