I have taken ACLS many many times in many forms and venues. This by far was the best experience. Instructor was comfortable, personable and knowledgeable. He had the ability to break down complex concepts and communicate them clearly with the inclusion of personal experience and relatable analogies. He was respectful and humble and kept the class moving smoothly. Highly recommend

DeFib This has provided ACLS training that was comprehensive and relevant. My instructor Aki Williams made the scenarios relevant for all of us in the class which made it engaging and fun to learn. I increased my knowledge and confidence around ACLS during this class. I would recommend Defib This for any BLS, ACLS training.

I lived in Santa Cruz and would walk to my ACLS/BLS class. I now drive from South City because the atmosphere in the classes and teachers are so great.
