Joffe Emergency Services

This was convenient and stress free for me. I could think and ask as many questions as I needed or demos. I did not feel intimidated or inadequate by the instructor.
Now for my ACLS class that I will now register for.
Thank you Starletta Carter. And thank you for giving me insight into my retirement. Now I have some thinking to do how I can be productive. I got more than just my BLS. You are a knowledgeable and thoughtful woman. I might add very professional with kindness.

I got my CPR certification here and the entire experience was great. Pricing is very competitive and the instruction is even better. I recommend this company to all of my friends who are looking to get CPR certified. Based on their website, it looks like the provide a variety of other emergency services; i’ll definitely be using them for all of my personal and small business needs. Great small business to support.

So I probably could have done my cpr recertification through work, but it was too difficult to schedule. I ended up looking for a class that was close by and not that expensive. My sister had taken the close here when it was on the Cloverfield lication, and loved it. I easily found a class online to sign up for and I was good to go.
The new location has a small parking lot but a huge about of space inside. There’s a restroom, office areas, microwave, and water dispenser. The classroom is all the way in the back.
there was only 2 people in my class, so hands on instruction was very interactive and engaging. My instructor, Casey, was amazing!!! She had extra tips aside from the aha guidelines that really helped.
The dummies were great to practice on and I feel confident in my cpr abilities! :)

Yikes! A tourniquet!

I was doing some research on places to get my CPR certification and found that Joffe Emergency Services had the fairest price in Los Angeles. I called and was told that there were five classes available that month. The girl at the front desk (who was super friendly and helpful) told me I could sign up online but took my name and credit card and just signed me up over the phone! The classes are usually on weekends and evenings, so I went in after work one day — super convenient for me as it’s very close to my office.
Included in the price was the class itself and the book, and they even gave me my card before I left that night.
The class itself went great too! My instructor (Stephanie?) was funny and answered every single question anyone had. By the way, there were only about five or six people in the class, which I hear is the average, so it was a small, intimate setting where we all really got to learn the procedures necessary to implement in an emergency situation.
Overall, great experience and I highly recommend it! Best of all, now I’m CPR certified! :)

I had to renew my BLS card and my friend referred me to this place. At first, I thought it was kinda shady because it was in an apartment. I had no other choice but to take it because I wouldn’t be able to work in the hospital if I didn’t renew my BLS by the end of this month.
It turned out to be okay. I had only 2 other ladies in my class. It was intimate and to the point. I got what I needed out of it. Some of the dummies didn’t work very well. The teacher was good, talked a bit but we still got out early with all the knowledge we needed.
I recommend this place for anyone who wants to doing the basic life support bundle.
My wrists still hurts a lot after those chest compressions though. :(

I took the BLS for Health Care Providers and the class was fine albeit the fact that I ordered a book for the class to be picked up and it wasn’t there. We were informed that we wouldn’t need the book for class, but would have it delivered within the next week. To add to that, we received «certificates of completion» as opposed to actual cards, but were informed that we would receive our cards later that week.
Fast forward to 1 month later. No card, no book.
I had to call multiple times in a relatively aggressive manner simply to get someone to answer my question about where my card was.
If you like to get your money’s worth, this is not the place for you

I paid for a CPR course on-​line via a credit card. I received e-​mail notice of the payment received and the course enrollment date and time. I attended the course and was pleased with the instructor and classroom environment. Over a month later I received an email that the payment I made was declined. I called my credit card company to see if the payment posted. A payment had not been posted. I e-​mailed the person back providing her with my contact information so we could resolve the issue. I received no call back and thus called the office number only to be greeted with a voice mail. Again, I left my information and never received a call. This morning yet another person (Jennie) e-​mails me stating they need payment. I went directly into my out box and copied her the e-​mail that I originally had sent to the first person (Katie). She called me and we quickly took care of the situation. I provided her with the same card that I did on their website – and there was no problem. She was very apologetic for the inconvenience as she did not know about the situation until today (per her). She saw that I had provided my contact information and that I received no call, just continued harassing e-​mails. Just be aware of the situation and NOT pay on-​line because their website does not run the card there… instead they take the info down and re-​enter it (hence where some error occurred). They should have notified me the night of the class not one month later. They should have picked up the phone and called to straighten the situation out INSTEAD of flogging me with unnecessary e-​mail. I guess they wanted me to e-​mail my credit card information to them, which I did NOT feel comfortable in doing. Good instructor and nice environment BUT not worth the disorganization and harassment.

I saw them on the 3^rd street Promenade one day promoting CPR training and had their survival kits on display. I immediately took notice and spoke with a very nice lady about the contents of it since I’ve been looking for this exact thing (we ARE expecting a big earthquake so gotta be prepared!).
I ended up going home without the kit but a few weeks later I made the purchase online.
13 days later and I still have not received my purchase… I’ve emailed them a few times and called them. No response. I’m starting to think this place doesn’t exist! Help! I need my survival kit!

I just got re-​certified since I am now a yoga instructor and need it. It was really easy to sign up for class and get everything done. I like the online things to do beforehand so we weren’t in the classroom as long. Nice time, and I got to do it quickly. I also liked that the class was quite small, loved that actually. 6 people, so we all had Annies.
The instructor, not Chris, new her stuff in terms of the CPR/​AED but she was terrible in terms of the technology. It really slowed the class. But that’s just nit-​picky since I still learned what I needed to know. I still recommend them.

I’ve worked in different healthcare fields for about 8 years now, and have taken a number of different CPR courses. This is by far the best one I’ve taken.
The instructor was an EMT who had actually performed CPR on people before, and knew both the textbook instructions and how to actually use it in a variety of real-​life situations. He made it fun and informative, and, despite having taken CPR for many years before, I feel like I learned a so much in this class.
Joffe is professional and well-​organized, and we had a 1:1 student: dummy ratio so everyone could practice and the class went smoothly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Joffe for CPR instruction and re-​certifications.

Dan is an effective and a charismatic instructor. He is very knowledgable and later answered questions I was having about EMT training, paramedic school, and future positions on the field. Really helpful.
It was a small class (3 people) so the entire lesson was very comfortable on the couches. There was a lot of room on the floor, everyone got their own mannequin, and it was overall a wonderful experience.
Thanks!

It was wierd at first because it was in an apartment, but the instructor was very informative and it was a great class!

the best cpr class I’ve ever taken!!!

Awesome teacher!!! Thanks Chris!

These guys came to APU to do CPR training for all the nursing students. They were interactive, funny, and helped make an early Saturday morning not as painful. I would recommend them for training because they have good models/​dummies that click or light up when you’re doing the compressions correctly.
Overall great experience.

They came to my campus and certified a group of us nursing students. It was such a great class! Being that it was 8am on Saturday morning, they did such a great job informing and teaching us the correct way to use CPR on adults, small children, and infants.
They’re great at answering questions and clarifying directions. I recommend renewing your CPR certification with them. :)

Look no further for Emergency Training and Certification!!!
I recently renewed my BLS training for Health Care Providers at Joffe, with Daniel as my instructor. It’s my fourth CPR training experience, and it was BY FAR the most effective, efficient, and delightful!
While I have left past trainings (with former/​non-​Joffe instructors) uncertain that I would be able to perform life-​saving techniques in an emergency, after taking class with Daniel at Joffe, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be competent to handle such a situation.
The instructor regaled our small class of 5 with fascinating and relevant experiences as an EMT, both on and off duty. His willingness to answer questions allowed portions of the course to be more of a conversation than a lecture, which was very engaging and contributed significantly to learning.
We had plenty of practice with excellently functional equipment. Everyone had access to their own gear (adult and infant «dummies,» AEDs and more), so there was no need to waste time taking turns. We were able to discuss a technique, and then immediately practice it until we felt competent. This systematic approach of learn-​one-​technique-​then-​practice before moving onto the next proved to be extremely effective for learning. We were given as much time as we needed– and we were an enthusiastic group — but we still somehow wrapped things up earlier than scheduled. Who doesn’t love that?
I received my certification card just 3 days after training. These guys are on top of things!

I just got certified through Joffe yesterday and I was totally dreading the experience. 3 hours of CPR training = yuck. But I was pleasantly surprised when we got started.
I learned everything thoroughly and Dan the instructor was great. He answered all of our questions and gave us real-​life examples so it was easy to relate to. The equipment was great also — particularly the dummies we used to practice. In the past, I’ve had a hard time determining whether or not my compressions were deep enough but the dummies they had lit up when the compressions were done correctly so I knew when I was doing it right.
They’re located in a live-​work space which would have been hard to find but they put a sign out in front so it wasn’t bad at all.
Booking my class was AWESOME with Chris. I had originally called to arrange CPR class for my work and it didn’t end up working out but Chris was so nice and helpful when I was scheduling myself. I have a crazy schedule so I had to call back a few times and change things around but he was extremely patient and understanding and prompt with everything.
Best CPR training experience ever!

I just got recertified through their online BLS class. Everything went smoothly with the online portion and Chris, the owner, was very prompt in answering all of my questions over email. I had never done the skills check before but the guys I worked with did a great job and made the experience easy and informative. And they helped me get it all done within a week before my card expired. I’ll definitely be back for my next recertification.
