Bakersfield RQI Courses, American Heart Association courses, CPR

RQI (Resuscitation Quality Improvement)

The American Heart AssociationⒸ and Safety Training Seminars now offer RQI skills testing in Bakersfield for BLS, ACLS, and PALS providers. Students will complete their skills test using a VAM (voice-assisted manikin). During the hands-on testing, an instructor won’t need to be present—the manikin and computer will guide you step by step through the process.

This course is available for both initial certification and renewals.

CPR fraud in Bakersfield

Fraudulent Online Courses

Fake CPR certificates are more common than you think. Every month, we receive submissions from students who unknowingly completed fraudulent online CPR courses, only to be left with invalid certificates.

Many of these websites may look legitimate, but they’re actually scams. Here’s how to spot red flags to protect yourself and your investment:

  • No Local Contact Information: Be cautious of companies without a local phone number—they might not be trustworthy.
  • False Accreditation Claims: Some sites falsely advertise American Heart Association (AHA) compliance. Don’t fall for it.
  • Negative Reviews: A pattern of bad reviews is another signal to look out for.

At Safety Training Seminars, we only accept CPR certificates from the American Heart Association. Need a quick check? Compare your certificate to the one shown at the top of this page. Always verify before signing up!

Cancellation & Reschedule Policy

We don’t offer refunds after your purchase. However, you can reschedule your course at any time by paying a $30 rescheduling fee per change.

To save money, we highly recommend opting for our $10 Reschedule Insurance. This allows unlimited reschedules at no additional cost. For example, if you reschedule three times, you’d pay $90 without insurance—but just $10 total with it.
