Craig’s CPR

The instructor Sandra was very helpful, had a sense of humor and really knew her stuff.

This place is as good as it gets. Needed to get my BLS updated and found this gem on Unilocal.Called on a friday afternoon and was able to get into their class later that night. The owner was the one that proctored the class. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. He made the class fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

After a few hours I received a apologetic phone call & a refund was returned promptly for the mix up. It was just a bad inconvenience for me.

the instructor was quick, straight to the point and answered every question we had because there were so many updates.
the facility, the equipments and the bathroom are all very clean! highly recommended

I needed to renew my BLS and was dreading the class but the instructor made it quick and to the point. He covered the bases and answered any questions I had. Overall I was pleased with the coarse.

The class itself was concise, started a little after 9 and ended at or a little before noon. If this is a renewal, then it’s a breeze. The class was a size of 6 people, and in a small room. The room was small but at least they blasted the AC on me. It was perfect temp for me but may be cold for the average person. You get your CPR BLS card right after the class.
I enrolled online, it was simple and quick. $ 50 for CPR BLS class if you have your own book or $ 60 if you need a book. There are morning and evening classes. Morning is at 9am and evening starts at 6pm I think. The start time will be on the site. Class lasts almost 3 hours.
The only real complaint I have is that I never got a confirmation of the class. I paid online and got receipt from paypal but none from the business. I wasn’t sure if the class was confirmed or happening at all.
Don’t worry first timers, you will definitely be leaving with a certification. Also, don’t workout before class.

Got my BLS certification here for the first time and I didn’t think he went too fast like the other comments say. He asked after every segment if there were any questions and took it slow for people who were having trouble. My class was really small too (only 6 people) which was great. I’ll definitely be coming back here for my recertification.

If you love in the area give this place a try to get your CPR, ARD, First Aid, BLS… Family owned business the the guy is very nice… Just get in learn the skills and you are out. I was seriously dreading going but it was a good experience !!

Took this class because I had an interview the day after and they required a CPR card. went here and I loved it… John is a great instructor and he makes the class interesting… I thought it was gonna be long and Boring but it wasn’t… he’s really clear n answers all your questions

This place is a tad difficult to find because it is small, however there’s a new sign outside that flags people down in the plaza. Cross the cream colored gate-​door & the office is on your right.
Went in this morning for a class to renew my BLS CPR/​AED card and was not disappointed. Used their services 2 years ago so I knew what to expect.
Class was quick, instructor was well-​versed and enthusiastic to teach.
If you plan to take a class or renew, I would suggest doing so online (heard it was cheaper). If you have any questions, call in advance.
10 $ book, 50 $ for class

3^rd time taking a CPR class and at Craig’s I signed up for the BLS for Healthcare providers.
I did not know what to expect at first but with John as an instructor he went through the material at a good pace as to not waste time or energy. It started around 915a and ended at 1145.
Not for beginners though.

My original BLS course was arranged by my school, and they used Craig’s CPR, who came on campus and did a decent job. They went through the course pretty quick, and he made a couple jokes.
So I thought that Craig’s CPR would be a reliable choice for my ACLS re-​certification. However, their website was not the best when signing up for the more advanced courses. They did not list the dates of the courses, and you had to make an appointment by calling them after paying through paypal. This would not be a problem usually, but their phone operator that handles the paypal courses is not the most responsive person. I left messages for her to call me back, and tried reaching her again throughout the day, only to have her call back when they were able to close.
After informing them more than a week before the course that I would have to cancel the course, they told me that it would be fine, and that I would get a call back from the lady that handled paypal issues. Eventually, I found out that for courses with registration fees over $ 100, there is a 50% fee taken away. I would be fine with this policy, if it had been written on the website, but as of the time writing this review, there is absolutely no mention of this cancellation policy on their site at all. Not to mention, after telling them I wanted to cancel the course, they told me that I would receive an email outlining the cancellation policy, which I never received until two days later, when my friend who was also cancelling forwarded me her email. After about four business days, I finally got my 50% refund, but it took a lot of work on my part.
Perhaps Craig’s CPR is a decent place for BLS training, but my experience with the way they handle their ACLS re-​certification course has been very unprofessional. As a result, I can no longer recommend them as a choice for others, nor will they have my business in the future.

I do not recommend this CPR class to anyone! I wanted to schedule an ACLS class with them and went on their website. First of all, in order to schedule a class, you have to pay in advance online, then call in to schedule? This is not convenient. They should have an online registration system. Second of all, they have no information on refunds listed anywhere. Well, in my situation, when I wanted to cancel my class, they told me that I would only be refunded 50% of what I paid for the class. What the hell? The ACLS class cost $ 120 without the book! And I called to cancel weeks before my scheduled class! So they just basically made an easy $ 60 because I couldn’t make it to the class anymore. My guess is this is why they don’t have any information on their refund policy on their site. Usually classes like these are flexible enough so that if a client had to cancel, they would be refunded 100%. In addition, they are not very responsive to phone calls. I spoke with some guy regarding the cancellation and he told me he’d call me back but I never got that phone call. So I called back about 5 times throughout the day hoping to speak to someone, and everytime I got the voicemail.
In summary, if you want flexibility and the option of cancelling your class, do not go with them because they will take half of your refund money, something they do not bother mentioning to anyone. I would recommend
, which has more classes in more locations, and the option to pay cash at the door, as well as cancel your classes without charge! I will not be looking to Craig’s CPR for any future courses.

Craig is legit! Glad I renewed my BLS card here. He’s got a great sense of humor and can keep the class going with a few of his stories. I recommend giving him a chance.

Six years ago, I came to this location not knowing what to expect. Yes, I admit I got lost and scared because there was just a piece of paper that said «Craig’s CPR and First Aid Training.» This was a family owned place, which made me feel pretty safe afterwards.
Once I walked inside, the place definitely changed from six years ago. There is just a desk and a back door leading to who knows what, but the service here was ok. Maybe because it was early in the morning… Class started at 9 am. They sent us to a new room that was updated from a old television to a projector whoa?! Lol Glad that the room was bigger and had air conditioning! Upgrade!
The instructor, John Craig, has a great sense of humor and he shared so many stories with us that were very interesting. The reason why… maybe because he was stalling for the two late people… not cool. Had to wait almost thirty to forty minutes until we were able to start the class. I think this needs to change… If people are late ten to fifteen minutes they need to reschedule. I know it’s not the businesses fault but they sure need stricter policies.
Anyways, the class was a breeze because all of us were getting recertified, so we had to know everything already. For those who are new, beware that these classes are fast paced. Therefore, if you’re not a quick learner, I would not recommend this place.
Overall, since I have been here for six years, I love it. I would recommend those who need to renew their certification.
Note: BLS=$ 50, New Book=$ 10

–Using sister’s account–
I had to get recertificated for my BLS for my program so I looked up the closest CPR training place and up came «Craig’s CPR & First Aid Training.»
I purchased the BLS certification online and went on my way. FYI, it’s $ 15 for the book and $ 50 for the class alone. On arrival, I had trouble finding the place because there was no large sign. Only up close could you see the sign. It’s on the gate door of a one-​story building. Once I was in, Craig and his wife set me up and I was all set.
Craig went through the BLS training in a little over 2 ½ hours. That IS quick. This is regardless of whether you need renewal or your first time. I found that convenient, however, the first timers may struggle because they may not know what they’re doing so it can drag the time longer. I don’t blame them though, because I was like that too my first time. After training was up, everyone took a 25 question test. He goes over it just prior before and throughout the training so it’s hard to miss any. But if you do, I saw him hand the test back to a person who missed a few so I’m sure he goes easy. With me, I passed with a 100% (har har har and first to finish). After that, he gave me my card and I was on my way out — in a little over 2 ½ hours!!!
Pros:
–Quick learning, direct to the point — out in 3 hours or less, give or take.
–Craig is funny and nice, will tell you stories and his wife is deaf but very kind and supportive.
–Answers all questions and makes sure you do the training correctly as well as give you freebies to the test (not all of them, but a good chunk of them).
–Card on the spot after passing test, no need to wait for it to be mailed.
Cons:
–Room is a little small, but it’s good enough.
–Needs A/​C or a fan.
–Needs larger sign so it’s easier to find.
Other than that, great place to get your CPR, First Aid, BLS, ACLS, etc training done and quick!

I went to get recertified for CPR/​first aid. The course was $ 10 more expensive than listed on their website. It wasn’t because I didn’t book the class online; there was no option to do so. Also, they did not know their business had a coupon on Unilocal; however, they honored the coupon without any problem.
The class was quick and easy enough. The instructor was nice and funny, but he talked an awful lot about stuff that had no relevance to the course, which was annoying coming from someone who repeatedly said time was money, and he didn’t want to waste our money. Despite that, I’ll go back in two years when I need to recertify again.

I recently got my CPR and First Aide card here… it’s a great spot if you just want to get the class over with. The class started at 9AM and ended at 1:30PM. The course consist of videos and hands on practice. I took this class with 5 other students and we all passed no one fails. The test is 25 questions and the instructor pretty much gives you the answers in class. The class room is pretty small and the instructor explains the material pretty well. This was my first time taking the course and the time went by pretty quick. I would diffidently recommend this place. FYI if you pay for class on their website and buy the book online the price is about $ 15 dollars cheaper then paying for it that day.

A little too quick for first timers. Made me feel dumb for asking questions like it was basic knowledge. Haven’t had CPR training since the 90s.
He whizzes through material based on how students are doing so for some people it’s nice to get out early unless it’s so fast that the certification is useless…
Family run business is nice but felt a little too informal. Not necessarily home-​y feeling.
Great if you’re just trying to get it done.

John Craig is a crazy crazy man. He’s like your favorite joke-​cracking uncle in a Hawaiian shirt and a hippie attitude. This is a family owned and run CPR and First Aid Training business. This clinic is good for those who are renewing and need a refresher course on the basics. John doesn’t mull over little details and waste your whole day — the CPR course takes just 3 hours to complete! I had a good time at the course and enjoyed how John led it. But, you might want to take another clinic if this is your first time being certified. he can go a little quick for people not acquainted with CPR or first aid.
Courses are offered twice a day, in the day and one in the evening (6−9pm). The classes are kept small since their office space is pretty cozy. The clinic is located in a little strip mall area behind the Edwards theater. Call beforehand to get the exact location because it’s kind of confusing.
Get certified and save a life!
