Eli is definitely my top pick for obtaining a BLS/ CPR cert. , it was such a fun and interactive course to be involved in, along with meeting a couple others that are interested in the medical profession. Fired Up Solutions is an excellent opportunity to learn all you need to know about cpr and much more! He also has a sick cigar box collection!

First time a couple of weeks ago I took the first Aid and CPR class from Fired Up Solution. It was really good. Eli is very knowledgeable and passionate about health and safety. There were many real-life experiences he shared which makes class interesting and helps in understanding it a little better.

Eli is an excellent instructor and presenter, keeping the class engaged and ensuring they learned everything they will need. He was very flexible with scheduling our several groups. I heard rave reviews from our team after the classes. I would highly recommend Eli for your training needs.

Eli is very thorough and professional in  his craft with huge experiences. Thank you again for the excellent training.

I have used Eli to teach several Floor Warden training classes for our downtown 22 story commercial hi-rise property for our tenants for years. On top of the class being highly educational, Eli keeps the class entertained and involved with his great personality and stories. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH!!

Our company has used Eli Santiago at all of our buildings for years because of his charm, accuracy and speed while giving pertinent information in a fun and easy way to learn and his great life stories. I highly recommend Fired Up Solutions for any CPR and AED or Floor Warden training. ELI IS THE BEST!!! We refer him to all of you.

I have been lucky enough to take his class twice. He makes entertaining and educational. The TIME unbelievably flies by! He is a kind person and loves what he does.

Mr.Santiago’s CPR course was by far the BEST CPR course I’ve taken. He was very clear and knowledgeable. He engaged with each student. I feel more confident in my skills. He kept us laughing and entertainined. THANK YOU. I will definitely refer him to my friends and coworkers.

Highly recommend Eli/ Fired Up Solutions for CPR training! I actually feel confident in my skills learned, versus with previous CPR training, more learning for a test.
Pros:
*It’s in his home! Comfortable and clean
*He’s truly invested in what he does. You can see, hear and feel that.
*Excellent teaching method, he layers skills with teach back that facilitates learning and confidence
*Class was actually fun
Cons:  None

The class was fun and the stories you told were very insightful. It was really nice to not have to watch a boring video. The stories were a really great way of explaining what you should do in case of an emergency and how every situation is different. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for sending all of this info! I had a great time at our training and really appreciate your enthusiasm as an instructor. I hope you have a great holiday season and I will see you in a couple of years when I need to renew my BLS!

Thank you so much.  The class was great.

Eli is an excellent instructor with tons of experience and knowledgeable with his expertise. He made us feel comfortable to ask questions and guides us through improving our skills. I would recommend him for our work.

WOW, What an amazing class. I learned things that some don’t teach and had a great time. The price was great as well. I highly recommend him for CPR. And thank you for your service as a Austin Firefighter. Your work does not go unnoticed. Again Fired Up Solutions is who you want to use.

I had an amazing experience with Fired Up Solutions! Eli is an amazing instructor and makes the experience FUN for everyone! He has a beautiful home and landscaping. You feel very much at home. I highly recommend Fired Up Solutions and will be coming back.

ELI is hands down the best instructor I’ve ever had. He allows the class into his beautiful home and makes the material come alive with applicable stories from his time in the field with Austin Fire. He makes the material come alive and you walk away with a better understanding than you’d gain from a regular course solely watching the video. Would Highly recommend.

I’ve desired to be certified in CPR/AED and Adult First Aid for a number of years, and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to do so with such an experienced and straight-forward instructor as Eli Santiago. His method of giving you the facts and sharing his own personal first-responder stories make him very relatable and trustworthy. Eli helps you get the techniques down correctly, rather than an okay- that’ll do. After taking his course, I am confident I’ll know what to do if I’m faced with helping someone in dire need.

Eli’s CPR class was fun and informative. Our team really enjoyed it. Eli was very professional and shared personal experiences from being an EMT/Firefighter. The class was great and never boring as some CPR classes can be.  WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND his services.

Eli is great.  He is very knowledgeable and has some pretty awesome stories.  We have him present for years at our annual Fire Warden meetings.  Tenants and staff enjoy him and the information he provides.

Mr. Santiago took something as mundane as CPR training and made it fun!  He had me laughing through the training, but also had some real-life scenarios that added to the seriousness of cardiac arrest.  I highly recommend Fired Up Solutions to any employer that wants to add a level of safety to the workplace!

Eli’s training on CPR is quite informative and fun. He is very resourceful and simplifies the process of life-saving tips. Happy to receive the required training from him & looking forward for the next training in 2 years.

Thank you, Eli, it was a great class, and really enjoyed all your real life experience stories!

We truly had a 5 out of 5 stars experience with Fire Up solutions.  Our whole family (mom, dad, 14 yrs old daughter and 10 yrs old son) took the “Friends and Family” CPR class developed by the American Heart Association for those wanting to learn CPR for personal enrichment rather than for a required certification.   It was a fantastic family experience!

This was by far the most informative , fun, and engaging BLS class I’ve ever taken. This class took place in his beautiful home with a small group which gave it a feel of a more personalized and relaxed type of instruction. I will definitely be referring my co-workers and friends To fired up solutions. It was FANTASTIC!

Eli was professional, engaging, and informative. His class left me feeling confident and able to perform CPR if the need ever arises! I will be back to recertify in the future!

Thank you so much for training me! I really enjoyed hearing your own experiences!  5/31/2025

Eli was incredibly easy to work with, very accommodating with scheduling and did a great job training our employees to become First Aid Responders! He was able to keep our employees engaged during the training, and we received some great feedback about his class that elevated the training far above what any video could teach!

First time a couple of weeks ago I took the first Aid and CPR class from Fired Up Solution. It was really good. Eli is very knowledgeable and passionate about health and safety. There were many real life experiences he shared which makes class interesting and helps in understanding it a little better.

As a new parent, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed about the safety of my baby, especially when it came to feeding. I signed up for this at-home CPR and Heimlich course for both adults and babies, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Eli was calm, knowledgeable, and really made me feel confident in my ability to handle emergencies! He was also funny and entertaining!

The class covered everything from infant choking to adult CPR, and I learned the proper techniques for performing the Heimlich on both adults and babies, which was exactly what I needed. The hands-on practice and clear explanations really helped relieve my anxiety, and I walked away feeling much more prepared and at ease.

If you’re a new parent or just want to feel more confident in emergency situations, this course is definitely worth it! I feel so much better knowing I’m equipped with these life-saving skills.

Eli hosted many sessions at our company and was exceptional in his training. Eli is very knowledgeable in his CPR/AED & First Aid courses, as he has had years of experience. He kept everyone engaged and bought some humor into the training which is always good!! Highly recommend!

Eli Santiago is an entertaining and informative presenter. Eli is easy to work with and communicated well throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend his services. He is a retired Firefighter and former Austin Fire Department education representative and has phenomenal insight from his many years of experience.

Eli was an excellent instructor!! He made the time fly by and had many real life stories to tell from being a AFD/EMT firefighter, making BLS certification so interesting!! Will definitely be using him when I need to renew.

Eli is very friendly and relatable. He makes CPR training not seem like a hassle but something you actually end up enjoying. Not to mention you’re learning a very valuable, life saving skill. Thanks again Eli!

Thank you so much for the class, hands down it’s the best cpr course I’ve been to. Your stories really added to the course and made it easier to focus on all the information than any other course/ training videos I’ve seen. Also, you have a lovely home, and it was really nice touring the backyard for a peaceful break. Thank you again and I will see you in two years for the renewal! 😁

Eli is one of my neighbors and being a nurse and needing CPR renewal. Eli provided the course from the comfort of his lovely home. Seating was even on a comfortable leather couch ! Eli made the training fun for our group , kept us entertained with real life medical emergency responses. I HIGHLY recommend Fired Up Solutions and will definitely be using Fired Up Solutions in the future. He is a great educator !!

Eli was amazing and super, super helpful when obtaining my BSL. He was thorough and created a very fun and personable experience!

Your class is wonderful, and you’re a great teacher. I will be giving a wonderful review online as well as to my friends and family. Thank you so much Mr. Santiago!

The training was Very personal and hands on which I really liked! If any of my friends need certification for CPR I’d definitely recommend them fired up solutions!

Eli is such a pleasure to work with! He is an excellent trainer with tons of 1st hand experience.  We have used him for our Emergency Response Team training and fire extinguisher training.  Our team has enjoyed working with him for years!

As a former firefighter with over 29 years experience, Mr. Eli Santiago brought to the class his vast knowledge of CPR training and medical emergency training.  He provided low stress training and taught us the confidence and skills we needed to save a life.  He was not only informative but FUN and entertaining. I highly recommend Fired Up Solutions.

Blessings to you and your family. You are a Great Instructor!

Eli is a very knowledgeable and fun instructor! The class size was small, so everyone had an opportunity to get personalized feedback on their BLS techniques. It was an overall excellent class and I recommend it to anyone seeking to update their BLS/CPR certification.

Thanks Eli! Your CPR class was engaging and entertaining. Your experiences as a firefighter on and off duty helped to make the class very relatable. Keep up the great work!

Yes. Thank you so much again for all the great info, and sharing your knowledge with everyone on CPR/BLS.
We need more people like you!  I will absolutely share your info with anyone that needs to get certified.

Eli is very thorough and professional in his craft with huge experiences.  Thank you again for the excellent training.

Great class. Made it easy to understand and had great relevant stores that applied to the topics. Will be returning.

Thank you very much for training us up! You always bring the perfect balance of sincerity and charisma and I very much appreciate it.

Eli was amazing and super, super helpful when obtaining my BSL. He was thorough and created a very fun and personable experience!  Katelyn F.   San Diego CA.     1/12/2025

Thank you again for coming down to Buda to share all your information with all of us and aide in helping us all to become BLS certified.  We thoroughly enjoyed having you  share  your wealth of knowledge with us.
I hope to see you again in 2 years.

My experience at Fired Up Solutions CPR course with Eli was nothing short of remarkable. Eli exudes warmth and professionalism, creating an interactive and engaging learning environment. The course is meticulously designed, balancing fun with a wealth of essential knowledge, ensuring participants leave feeling ready and thoroughly prepared. Highly recommended transformative learning experience!

I’ve been in the medical field since 1992. This was the MOST informative basic life support class that I have ever taken! The setting was comfortable. The instructor was pleasant and professional. Would highly recommend anyone that is looking for anyone that is looking to get certified.

Eli Santiago is a fantastic instructor when it comes to learning CPR. He is super nice, makes you feel comfortable and gives you lots of helpful hints on how to assist. The setting is very comfortable. (very comfortable leather sofa) and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone. (:

Thanks so much for the training and accommodating our schedule.  I feel better knowing that all of us that are going to be around the babies are better prepared for an emergency!   The training was fun and memorable, which I think will really be helpful if we ever need to use this training.    We all really enjoyed it.  1/08/2025

This class was so well put together.  It is taught with passion.  Mr. Santiago has a wealth of knowledge and is a natural teacher with a working will and genuine gift for teaching.

Eli was an amazing instructor! Very thorough, personable, had a great sense of knowledge. I did this through my employees, so hope they request him in the future.

The CPR/AED/ First Aid training with Eli was such a great experience. Eli explained the training material really well and kept the class engaging. I would highly recommend!!

Thank you for the BLS class last Saturday! And thank you for sharing your stories and words of encouragement as I pursue a career in the fire service. It seems like just about every firefighter I meet is enthusiastic and sincerely dedicated to their work and you are no exception!      5/22/2024

Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to provide such an entertaining and educational experience! I feel that when you can make learning fun and apply it to everyday situations, the lessons make an impression and stick around in your noggin longer. In addition, it’s always nice to be able to joke and laugh these days seeing as how strange the times are and how withdrawn most people seem to be now. Thank you!

I’ve been in the healthcare field for over 20 years as a Navy Hospital corpsman and as a medical imaging/MRI technologist. It was a class that I will NOT soon forget. Not only informative but refreshing; knowledge and experience are what Eli brings to the class. REAL WORLD experience is rare and that’s why one can’t go wrong with FIRED UP SOLUTIONS.

Eli with Fired Up Solutions has a passion for fire safety and truly cares about spreading education to save lives and structures. As a property management professional , I really appreciate presentations that keep the interest of our tenants. Eli made learning fun and provided clear and valuable instructions on what to do in various emergency situations. BEST GAME IN TOWN FOR SURE !!

My husband and I took Eli’s class to become Foster Parents and LOVED IT!! He is very knowledgeable and has suggestions for easy ways to remember the important points. He is personable and a natural teacher. I’d recommend his classes to anyone.

Thank you, Eli!  Great stories and training.  Thank you for all you did as well!  That’s a long time!  It’s never easy being exposed to the things you guys see and experience!

Eli is a Fantastic Instructor. He breaks up the cut and dry video with eye opening personal experiences that enhance the overall knowledge and understanding of the material. You can tell he truly has a passion for the courses and instructing. You will not find a better CPR instructor in Texas.

I don’t typically do reviews but felt my experience with Eli’s CPR & first aid training warranted one. The experience was EXCEPTIONAL. Eli is passionate about what he does and knows the information inside and out. I will definitely use Eli again when my certification expires.

Took the BLS for health care providers course today. It was essentially a one on one class which provided me with a lot more instruction and real life anecdotes than I’d imagine you don’t get in most courses. Eli the instructor was AWESOME.

It was my pleasure to have met you.  You are an excellent BLS instructor.  I will come back in 9/2025.  Stay well. Thanks again for helping me. You were correct in that I did learn a lot from you today.

First time a couple of weeks ago I took the First Aid and CPR class from Fired Up Solutions. It was really good. Eli is very knowledgeable and passionate about health and safety. There were many real life experiences he shared which made the class interesting and helps in understanding a little better.    6/21/23

Eli has conducted Fire Life Safety training at our building for the past six years. Our tenants love Eli. We started working with Eli when he was a firefighter for AFD. I cannot recommend his training enough to any property managers or individuals seeking his services. He is the BEST in the field.

By far the MOST entertaining Heartsaver CPR class that I have ever attended. Eli has years of knowledge that he shares in a fun and practical way. Lots of practice and review. Highly recommended!!!

Thank you for conducting our Floor Warden training. Your presentation provided valuable information and advise for both work and home safety. Your stories are fun and engaged from beginning to end. Our Fire Drill was a success and we thank you for the role you played to get us there. THANK YOU !!!

I truly enjoyed learning CPR from Eli! The location was very convenient for me, and his home was lovely and inviting. He was able to accommodate the students in my particular class by teaching in both English and Spanish at the SAME TIME!! He was very knowledgeable, experienced, and able to answer questions.

Fantastic class !! All safety measures were followed. I have been doing this for a while and it was great to participate in such an inactive class. Eli makes the class informative, interesting and fun.   Toni G.  Round Rock

It was an honor meeting you, you are such a wonderful person and an even better teacher, thank you so much for taking the time to teach us thoroughly!  1/11/2025

Best CPR recertification class I’ve had in awhile. Easy to sign up, fast, easily accessible, multiple start date classes to choose from and no hassle! Eli gives a warm welcome makes you feel right at home and relatable stories making CPR training memorable and fun! I needed a CPR class for NP school clinicals and he made room for me last minute despite the ice storm! Nice guy! Thanks Eli! See you in 2 years for renewal!  two thumbs up!!

I truly feel this is by far the most enjoyable,affordable and informative CPR class I could have ever taken. It was actually quite fun. The instructor was awesome. Very knowledgeable and engaging. I guess it must be that NYC thing! HIGHLY recommend him.

Great CPR course.  Very interactive and engaging. Nice to have a teacher that can share life situations.

As a new parent, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed about the safety of my baby, especially when it came to feeding.

This class was Great!! I was the only student scheduled and he still took the time to explain and go over everything in great detail. Would definitely recommend this class. Thanks Eli !

Excellent and entertaining Basic Life Support (CPR) class! Eli got all the learners engaged and made everyone feel comfortable. He’s a very talented teacher who cares about the students and his subject matter. He made sure everyone was following what he was saying and not getting left behind, and he gave great feedback on the practical skills with the manikins. His years as a firefighter/EMT gave him practical experience which adds a depth of expertise to his teaching. I highly recommend his class.

Eli provided CPR/AED certification to our special Ed staff. He was accommodating to our limited availability. He was personable and professional. Our staff felt proud and confident in their new training and certification. We highly recommend his training for an entertaining and empowering class.

I wish I could give you 10 stars.
I am sure I will take your class again if I have to renew my CPR. You are awesome.

Thank you so much for letting me experience and show you what I can do! I’m glad I got to learn these things and I’m very excited to pursue with this!  9/28/2024

Thanks for a great class!

Eli, thanks again for another awesome Adult CPR & AED training class.  You always bring you A game when training life safety courses. Great Job!!

Eli is a great instructor and makes sure you know what you are doing and provides great real life experiences. He made it fun and not boring like most of these types of classes usually are! I would definitely go back and recommend his class!

I’m laughing so hard right now 😂😂😂😂. Thank you again so much, you were an amazing instructor. See you in two years :).  6/18/2024

My partner and I needed to get BLS/AED certified for our nursing requirements and found Mr. Santiago’s website.  The experience was educational, hands-on and engaging.  He made sure everyone understood and applied all the information we learned effectively. His scenarios and experiences made the class even more interesting.

Eli, thank you again for the excellent way in which you carried out the course. Our family thoroughly enjoyed it, but mostly, feel 100% more confident should we ever need to apply what we learned. I certainly appreciate all the knowledge you shared with us. I am sure we will see you in a couple of years.

We have worked with Eli Santiago/Fired Up Solutions for several years. I manage a 10 story building in Austin and we do annual fire warden training with our tenant fire wardens. He gives a GREAT presentation to our Fire Wardens and really engages them as this is such an important information for all. We would HIGHLY recommend working with Eli for your next fire warden training!!

“Best in show” We have been using Fired Up for the past 6 or 7 years for our floor warden meetings. His presentation is terrific and hits all the key points. The tenants love him and his wonderful stories. We have used him 3 times for his CPR AED training and he does a wonderful job on that as well. I highly recommend this company to everyone for all their services.

It was a pleasure to have my BLS class with Mr. Eli Santiago. He puts in all his effort to make us learn easy, even the complex things get easier to learn when he associates his stories with them. Thank you again for the knowledge you provided.

Thanks Eli! I really enjoyed your class! It’s clear you have a passion to educate others on all the knowledge you’ve acquired over the years and your stories were truly touching.

Your class was awesome, I will definitely schedule back with you in two years! Thank you so much for making it enjoyable.

I recently completed training for First aid/CPR/AED in order to meet the requirements for achieving field deployable status in TEXSAR (Texas Search and Rescue). The class was engaging, eye opening, informative and entertaining! Eli masterfully guided the class through the labyrinth of methods, equipment and requirements to gain an understanding of the first aid and lifesaving techniques we all needed to learn.

Our office did the CPR/AED training and Eli did a great job. Eli is a great instructor and I would highly recommend his training for companies or groups who work closely with each other on a regular basis. He did an awesome job of keeping us all interested and entertained.

We have found their classes to be informative, interesting and entertaining. All the staff indicated increased confidence in the CPR process. We also hired him for our emergency plan review. It is great to have the plan reviewed and approved by someone with so much experience. We recommend this company for all your workplace safety needs.

FANTASTIC CPR/BLS training course. Eli does a great job keeping your attention and making sure everyone understands the steps. If you sign up for his class and try to call him, he’s great at communicating and getting back to you in short notice. Very entertaining guy who knows his stuff!

Eli led a highly informative and engaging course on CPR and first aid at my workplace. His knowledge and expertise in the field shone through clearly, and his demeanor and delivery kept everyone interested and focused throughout the entire class. I feel that due to his instruction, my emergency preparedness is sharper than ever, and I’d happily take a follow-up from him any time I need to renew my certifications.

I’m so thankful for Mr.Eli BLS class it was so informative and he was a great instructor and really helped me feel confident in what I was doing. On top of that his personality is what made the learning environment so comfortable and I wasn’t overwhelmed with the information 10/10 recommend.

I needed to take a BLS class quick and the same day. I reached out and was able to take the class with other people. Eli is a great instructor and makes sure you know what you are doing and provides real life experiences. I enjoyed learning facts behind the “why” to human physiology. He made it fun and not boring like most of these types of classes usually are. Definitely recommend his services!!

• He was very informative and spent time after class checking for all the exits/ exit signs and fire extinguishers.
• Eli is an excellent instructor, and I like that he is a former Firefighter.
• He was great! Very knowledgeable and helpful.
• My wife and I are having a baby this November and I wanted to learn infant CPR. The second class, he brought in the material and taught me along with several others.
• The instructor did a great job and made the class enjoyable.
• Eli was very easy to learn from because I could feel his passion to train everyone.

This was a fun and educational course for even experienced participants. I’ve been a nurse for over 10 years and I left having learned a few new skills. Eli is both knowledgeable and personable and kept the class entertained!! Provided real life examples of using skills outside of your labeled profession that I’d personally never thought about.

I will say, personally, it is a bummer when I realize it’s time to get my recertification, it’s generally redundant and boring. But Eli had my attention the entire time and that’s not an easy task!

Eli is a great instructor! This is my second time taking a BLS/AED CPR course and I learned a lot. His teaching style is very hands-on, making it easy for anyone to grasp the concepts of the training quickly and effectively. His professionalism and years in the field of firefighting definitely shine through to his teachings.

Eli was super entertaining and explained everything thoroughly. He explained the “why” and the “how” of every part of the class which made it easy to understand and retain the information. I will definitely return when it’s time to renew!!! Thank you for everything Eli. You’re awesome!

Thank you so much for the certification opportunity! I truly enjoyed the class and appreciated your engaging teaching style. The skills I learned will be invaluable, and I’m excited to apply them.  6-7-25

Took my BLS from Eli because I needed a live class for a new job. It was fun, professional. informative class. Eli is a Great Instructor and I would highly recommend it to anybody who needs to certify. 12/12/2024

I recently took Eli’s BLS class and I loved it! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he is teaching. His real life experience add so much to the program. He is very professional and I will definitely use him again for more training in the future.

I needed to get my BSL for nursing school, and had no idea where to go, so let me tell you that if you’re in the Austin area, this place is the place to go! Really friendly, not scary, informative, and fun. I actually learned stuff, and you will too!

Eli was an Excellent Instructor!! He made the time fly by and had many real life stories to tell, making BLS certification SO interesting!! Will Definitely be using him when I need to renew.

Mr. Eli’s CPR class was very informative, fun and easy to grasp. A lot of wisdom into a three hour course that could save a life is priceless thank your Mr. Santiago it was a blessing indeed Sir. I highly recommend this course to everybody wether you’re a civilian, military or training to go into EMT or Fire academy.

My friend asked me how the CPR class went and I said you and your bf should go there for a date. But seriously Craig and I both felt that your course was funnier than a lot of the improv comedy shows we’ve been to. Thank you so much for such and “entertaining class”.  Maybe comedy can become your side hustle.

Eli really made our fire warden meeting fun and engaging for our tenants. His years of experience as a firefighter provided invaluable insight into matters of fire safety and his stories absolutely lit up the room! We received many compliments from tenants and plan to utilize Fired Up Solutions in the future. Thank you, Eli

Thank you sir! It was a pleasure being in your class, I will be back!

Great instructor! The class was very informative and fun environment. Timely response after signing up for the class. I would take Eli’s class again to renew my BLS training again and again. He is absolutely the best!

As a former firefighter with over 29 years of experience, Mr. Eli Santiago brought to the class his vast knowledge of CPR training and medical emergency training.  He provided low stress training and taught us the confidence and skills we needed to save a life.  He was not only informative but FUN and entertaining.

Attended 8/15/23 training – presentation and demonstrations were great, providing focused information on what to do and updates to past CPR training.
Perhaps extend the class length to 6 hours to fully cover first aid.

Hands down one of the best instructors for AED/CPR/First Aid. Very knowledgeable, organized, and professional. Thanks Eli!

My review is definitely five stars! Eli Santiago lead the floor warden training for our commercial office tenants, prior to our annual fire drills.  He is an animated speaker, always keeping the crowd engaged and entertained.  He diligently covers fire safety, both at home and in the office. I highly recommend his services!

Eli is awesome and its a very relaxed class. Very informative and best part is small class done in his home. No big crowded sterile office. Thanks Eli. See you in 2 years!!!

Eli was an amazing instructor! He effectively communicates with a dash of charm that makes it fun and informative. It’s obvious that he is well-versed on the subject matter and ensures that all questions are answered and that everyone knows what they are doing. Thanks Eli.

Eli is a great instructor and makes sure you know what you are doing and provides great real life experience and examples to drive concepts home. He made it fun and not boring like most of these types of classes usually are! I would definitely go back and recommend his class!

Great class. Made it easy to understand and had great relevant stores that applied to the topics. Will be returning.

Eli did a great job instructing our therapy department. He is very thorough with the material and provides hands on learning opportunities that make it easy to recall both the sequence and techniques involved in providing CPR and first aide. His outgoing personality helps create a fun and comfortable learning environment. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone interested in obtaining the CPR and First Aid certification.

So much positive feedback from our office. Mary and Dennis loved your presentation. They were not aware of how informative and entertaining you could be at the same time. Thank you for your knowledge you have given our tenants for the past several years.

Thank you so much for your time today! I have heard a lot of great feedback on today’s training.

As a new parent, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed about the safety of my baby, especially when it came to feeding. I signed up for this at-home CPR and Heimlich course for both adults and babies, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Eli was calm, knowledgeable, and really made me feel confident in my ability to handle emergencies! He was also funny and entertaining!

We have used Fired Up Solutions twice for workplace fire safety training and CPR training and have been very pleased with the presentations. He is very knowledgeable and keeps the students interested. A great program for any size business.

Where do I begin…Eli is simply top of his class in all realms – comfort, entertainment, knowledge…his program really has it all.  It is just a little more expensive than the bottom tier alternatives but…you definitely get what you pay for.  Considering that it’s a slight time commitment I’d prefer a premium experience over a dreadful one.  Highly recommend to anyone needed to be certified.

First time a couple of weeks ago I took the first AId and CPR class from Fired Up Solution. It was really good. Eli is very knowledgeable and passionate about health and safety. There were many real life experiences he shared which makes class interesting and helps in understanding it a little better.

Eli’s training was educational, interesting and FUN!! I feel more confident and better equipped to assist someone in need should the occasion ever arise. His stories really helped to cement things in my mind. Thanks for sharing your expertise and stories, Eli. Great Job!

THANK YOU so very much for the training today. You were so entertaining and kept everyone engaged while shoveling out a ton of great information. After the training our team was raving about how well the training went and what an excellent you are an instructor. We will certainly be requesting you to teach all of our future warden classes and we will share your information with other property managers and tenants.

I took a personal CPR certification class with you at your home back in February for my in-home daycare. My daughter is in nursing school and needs to renew her certification.  I would not have her go anywhere else. You made me feel so comfortable and made the experience engaging.

Great class. Made it easy to understand and had great relevant stories that applied to the topics. Will be returning.  6/14/ 23

Taking this class with Eli was very informative, engaging, and fun. His course was also the least expensive out of all the businesses I compared. I can’t wait to come back in two years!     6/1/24

We used FIRED UP SOLUTIONS for our fire warden training in April and Eli was very informative and energetic during his presentations. He is very good at keeping the audience engaged. We will definitely be using FIRED UP SOLUTIONS again in the future.

Strongly recommend fired up solutions!
After calling all over town only to get the runaround, I so happen to luck into Eli Santiago with fired up solutions.  He was extremely accommodating. Dude must moonlight as a stand up comedian because he kept the group cracking up through the whole presentation, but was still able to emphasize the seriousness of possible emergencies.
Definitely know where I’m going next time I need cpr certification.

The most informative BLS class I’ve ever been. Eli is an Excellent instructor. He had us laughing thru out the class and it seemed to go by really quick. I’m definitely recommending him and his company.

If you don’t hear this often, which I’m sure you do I want to thank you so much for the information that you gave us yesterday. You are truly an amazing instructor. Everything you told me was so easy to grasp and understand.

Great course! Very interactive and engaging. Thank you very much Eli!

Fantastic class!  All safety measures were followed.  I have been doing this for awhile and it was great to participate in such an interactive class.  Eli makes the class informative, interesting and fun.

Eli was so welcoming and made the class interesting.  You can see the passion he has in teaching others as he is very informative and knowledgeable. Strongly suggest him!! Felt like he was my homie!!

Thank you, Eli-The training was great, you were so engaging with the class, and I learned a lot!

Best to you and your family!

Thank you so much for conducting our fire warden training.  Your presentation provided valuable information and advice for both work and home safety.  We appreciate your knowledge and first-hand experiences. Your stories are fun and engaged us from beginning to end.  Our fire drill was a success and we are thankful for the role you played in getting us there.  Thank you!

Thank you very much for the dynamic, interesting and fun course and all the information provided. It was a pleasure meeting you.

The information and great demonstrations given were above and beyond what my expectations were for this type of training. These are lifelong skills that will always stay with me. This class was very motivating, and it captured the attention of everyone in attendance. He broke down all the information in an easy-to-understand way. His years of experience shined through, and his style of teaching was entertaining and captivating. I highly recommend Fired Up Solutions for any lifesaving certifications.

Eli was great! I have taken several CPR/First aid classes, and this was the best one. Eli included personal experiences from working as an EMT/Firefighter which made the class more interesting and added a thoroughness I have not seen in similar previous trainings. He also gave a brief overview of what is actually happening to the heart during a heart attack and cardiac arrest. I enjoyed the extra information which helped to solidify the practical skills training.

Had “Fired Up Solutions” out to host our first fire warden meeting.  They do a great job keeping things up beat and interesting. Keeping busy people off their phones and laptops is a tall task.  Fired Up Solutions delivers a “Fiery” presentation!!!
