“Our AHA ACLS instructor, Dr. Nuqui, was very knowledgeable, experienced, supportive, and entertaining. Most of all, I really appreciated how well organized and engaging the initial provider course was conducted in a pleasant and comfortable learning environment. Not only was the training site facility brand-new but everything from the student materials, training AEDs, intubation equipment and manikins were up-to-date and in excellent condition.”
–William, MD

“I was very impressed with how professional and enjoyable my ACLS and PALS renewal classes were at Palm Desert Resuscitation Education! As an emergency medicine registered nurse working at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, I wanted to be educated with the most commonly seen cardiac arrhythmias and their treatment but also needed classes that were attention grabbing and fun. Palm Desert Resuscitation Education instructors definitely kept my attention during the lengthy courses by having a balanced sense of humor, pertinent and brilliant instructions, and excellent case scenario discussions.”
–Rickey, RN

“I highly recommend this training facility as your go-to CPR certification site for your healthcare job because Dr. Nuqui is not only passionate about saving lives but is awesome when it comes to teaching you the proper techniques of resuscitation including compressions, airway management, and defibrillator use. He shares his medical and teaching experiences while making you feel relaxed, stimulated, and well informed with the current AHA guidelines. He taught me exactly what I needed to know to be ready when cardiac arrest happens.”
–Ashley, LVN

“During my Basic Life Support (BLS) class, I was given all of the necessary skills to be confident and not be afraid if ever one of my patients or family members collapses due to a heart condition, such as a heart attack. PDRE’s instructors and staff provide a very friendly, informative, humorous, interesting, and stress-free class that makes me want to personally refer all of my friends and family to do their CPR training at PDRE. Do not hesitate to try the best American Heart Association courses in the Desert Cities!”
–Karina, medical assistant and phlebotomist

“As an elementary teacher who needed to be responsible for many students, I wanted to learn first aid basics and CPR in case I encounter a time when one of my students may either be choking, bleeding, seizes, faints, breaks a bone, sprains a muscle, becomes allergic, passes out, and experiences other first aid emergencies. Palm Desert Resuscitation Education’s first aid basics and CPR classroom course, which were held in our elementary school, was the perfect out-of-site learning setting to practice first aid basics and CPR for medical and injury emergencies. All of the staff and school employees are truly thankful and now self-assured to be able to provide possible practical first aid basics and CPR to our students, associates, friends or relatives. From my experience, Palm Desert Resuscitation Education quite honestly has the greatest, most efficient and personable instructors teaching top-of-the-line healthcare certification courses.”
–Gary, elementary teacher

– Very friendly and non-stressful.
– The course was very imformative.
– Best BLS course EVER!
– Great instructor, made it funny and interesting.
– Great course. Learned a lot of practicale information.
– Hella Awesome!
– After being up since 3:45am for work, it was nice to have someone with a sense of sarcasm and humor.

“Dr. Nuqui and his staff were truly amazing when I needed my BLS certification for my personal training business. He was very efficient and thorough with all of the course content and materials including the new guideline changes so that we are all up-to-date when it comes to performing effective CPR and step-by-step use of an AED. It was very easy to listen to him because he is not only a great instructor but is outgoing and personable. He really made the class enjoyable and easy to understand.”
–Roel, personal trainer

– Dr. Alfaro was very efficient with his time and reviewed important points and changes, knew the material well and worked well with class.

– Instructor was great. Relaxed, comfortable environment that made learning enjoyable.
– Instructor made it very practicle and easy to remember. Useful to have a Paramedic teach class because has practicle experience.

“As a nurse working night shifts, I did not have the time to attend the BLS classroom course but, luckily, PDRE has great online accredited courses by the American Heart Association so it was not too difficult to go to their website and sign up for a course. You just click on a course, register, and put in your payment information. It was as easy as 1, 2, and 3. Then all you have to do is go and do your psychomotor skills evaluation at their office. You even get to practice your CPR techniques before you take the real CPR skills tests. Thank you PDRE for saving me so much time!” –Wendy, RN

“Being a member of an exclusive golf club in the Palm Springs area, I was surprised by how much I learned in adult CPR and AED use, first aid basics, medical emergencies, injury emergencies, and environmental emergencies during an exciting and educational course held by Dr. Nuqui and other instructors in our private Club House. You never know when someone needs help, especially when we are out in the golf course, and those minutes before the first responders get to our location can be vital. Thus, those important medical techniques that Dr. Nuqui presented to us clearly may save one of our member’s life. I now feel very comfortable that our golf club members were trained the proper way and can respond to almost any medical emergency.” –Pat, General Manager
