Voices of satisfaction

Heart Start CPR in San Ramon is a great place to take ACLS and BLS. It's the only place you can find in person classes, which I much prefer over the blended learning RQI courses. Thanks to the instructions of John and David. They made the ACLS and CPR class fun and really emphasized the great clinical points to apply during ACLS. I highly recommend them to all health care professionals. Thank you heart Start CPR.

Just renewed my BLS with the no instructor test and I was hesitant about it but the process was very clear and I had no trouble passing.
