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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

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

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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 !!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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! 😁

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.

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.

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

“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.

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.

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.

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 !

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 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. (:

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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 !!!

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.

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

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

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.

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!
