Why do you require a book?

The AHA requires that students have a book before during and after the course so that they can refer back to the material once they have become certified. The manual provides the student with a reference to utilize before, during, and after the class.

Do I need to study before hand?

We highly encourage you to study beforehand! Books are available for shipping and pick up at our office Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm. ACLS and PALS courses do have pre-course work that must be completed prior to the course.

What if I already have a book?

Just make sure the book is up to date with the current AHA 2020 guidelines.

Where are your classes located?

Our classes are held at our Superior Life Support Training Facility in Valencia. More advanced courses may be held off site. The class confirmation email will contain the courses location information.

How do I register/pay for a class?

You can register on our website by clicking on the course you wish to enroll in and the date and time that is most convenient for you. This will take you to a registration page where you can submit your payment information and secure a spot in the class.

What if I want to pay cash?

You can stop by our office Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm before the class to pay. You must pay before the class to ensure a spot in the course.

Can I just show up to a course?
