Description

Specialties

We offer American Heart Association® classes for everyone from Parents to Healthcare Providers. These classes are frequent and small. If you sign up for any of our Skills Sessions we will guarantee that it will not be cancelled. If you are a Healthcare Provider you can also rest easy knowing that we have no minimum class size. If we have just one person signed up for any Healthcare Provider course we will not cancel. We take you missing work very seriously.

History

Established in 2009.

Above Bar CPR was established to meet the demands of our community. People had no where to got to get the training they needed for work. The staff has been teaching CPR and First Aid classes anywhere from 7 to 30 years. We have instructors who are EMT’s, Paramedics, Nurses and Firefighters. This gives a diverse range of experiences to add to our class room. Our number one goal is that our students have a positive experience and truly come away with an understanding of the material. We do this by offering many small classes as apposed to few large classes. This gives our instructors a chance to give each person the special attention they need.

Business Owner

I have been in business for myself since 1998. Since 2003 I had been a Public Education Volunteer with a Fire Department and a Paid Call Fire Fighter. During this time I was teaching various classes for the city. These included CPR, First Aid, Blood Borne Pathogens, Fire Extinguisher, CERT, Earthquake Preparedness, Evacuation Drills, Senior Preparedness, 72 hour kits and vial of life. This gave me the opportunity to find out how much I enjoyed teaching these classes. I also found out that I was good at it as well. When I discovered that the area I lived in was without a dedicated location to get the basic American Heart Association® classes I decided to go full time and provide this service.

Jason’s course was very helpful and it was the first one that I haven’t fallen asleep. I actually remembered what I learned, 30 compressions and two breaths.

I really enjoyed Jason. Very knowledgeable, fun and an excellent teacher. It made the whole dreaded after work CPR class lots of fun. It was really easy to register online. I will definitely be back to Above Bar for my recertification.

Love this place! I’ve taken BLS at other locations in Santa Cruz and this by far is the BEST place to do it! Jason is super accommodating and awesome! He knows his stuff and makes the environment really comfortable to learn in. We are so lucky to have this GEM of a business in our county!

This was my first ever First Aid and CPR class. To be honest, I’m not medically inclined and am really quite squeamish about the human body and all the things that can go wrong in it. I never would have thought that I would have the confidence to give compressions, perform mouth to mouth, and jab an epi pen into someone’s thigh: shudder:
Thanks to Jason and his awesome class, I now feel prepared to respond to a variety of emergency situations and have found a new confidence within myself! It’s a great feeling to know that you are prepared and have the skills and knowledge to properly respond. I highly recommend Jason and his class to anyone who wants to feel confident in an emergency situation. Woot woot!

I was in a bind to complete my CPR and ACLS training quickly and came across Above Bar CPR in the Santa Cruz area. I have been a nurse for many years and been through alot of CPR and ACLS classes (BIG SNOOZERS!) After completing both the CPR and ACLS training sessions through Above Bar, I can say without hesitation that I have never attended a session that was so engaging, so educational and SO worth my time and money.
The instructors were great — all knowledgable and experienced. My CPR instructor was a fireman and my ACLS instructor was an experienced critical care flight nurse. I’m not sure about you, but if someone is going to teach me how to save lives, I want to go to an expert. Both of my instructors certainly fit that qualification.
The classes overall were very enjoyable and the equipment that provided was clean and state-​of-​the-​art. The CPR dummies that were used during the classes accurately measure the speed and effectiveness of your compressions. This was really helpful.
Overall, I can’t rave enough about the experience. I would definitely recommend Above Bar!

Jason and Bruce recently came to our company to certify a bunch of us for First Aid and CPR. They were professional and thorough and we received excellent hands-​on training. They were very patient in explaining basic concepts and were well-​informed about plenty of real-​life situations. In addition, they were funny and made the day long class thouroughly enjoyable!

Two very funny and knowledgeable gentlemen came to our job and taught the volunteers about CPR, First Aid, and AED usage. I’ve taken other courses before, and this one was way above par — in terms of time spent, efficiency, and hands on training. The course was never dull and the instructors were thorough. They supply everything you need and give you information of the items you should keep in close proximity in case an emergency situation arises. Almost every situation that comes to mind was covered along with the appropriate responses to the emergencies. The class size was small enough to make sure that everyone gets enough hands on training.
As a child of two firefighters, it was pretty interesting covering new material that I either had forgotten about or was never introduced to. I would definitely recommend this course any person/​organization.
Cheers guys.

Jason certified our school for CPR and First Aid. He was professional, punctual and fun. It was the first time our teachers left this full day of training with a smile on their faces :)
Thanks Jason!

My business partner and I are healthcare providers and needed to renew our recently-​expired CPR licenses quickly. In this area, there are very few places that offer these renewal courses and virtually NONE with the convenient plethora of class times/​dates, and for very reasonable prices.
Jason keeps the class sizes small so that you get through it quickly and efficiently. He has new, quality training dummies that make the learning experience as realistic as possible. Besides being knowledgeable about his work, he’s really friendly and is an excellent communicator.
We will definitely renew again with Above Bar CPR. He even offers private classes for groups and when we get more employees, we will definitely send them here.

Jason was awesome! It was quick and easy to sign up for classes. I had an emergency work situation and needed to be certified quickly, and he totally worked around my schedule. Was completely painless and actually kind of fun! Never had that kind of experience in a CPR class before.
