AHA Authorized Training Center
Up in the redwoods of the San Lorenzo Valley, Ben Lomond residents — nurses, San Lorenzo Valley school staff, caregivers, dental teams, childcare providers, fitness instructors, and workplace safety leads — often need CPR or life-support certification for a job, a school or clinical program, a renewal deadline, or plain emergency readiness. Safety Training Seminars offers a nearby training option in Santa Cruz County at 1515 Capitola Road, Unit G, Santa Cruz, CA 95062, a manageable drive down Highway 9 from Ben Lomond rather than a location inside the valley.
TRAINING LOCATION & DIRECTIONS
For folks in the mountains, “being prepared” isn’t a slogan — it’s a way of life. When help can be a winding drive away, knowing how to respond in those first critical minutes truly counts. That’s why many people from Ben Lomond choose the Safety Training Seminars location in Santa Cruz, where students get hands-on CPR practice, real AED experience, and training in calm, coordinated, team-based response.
The reasons are practical: solid instruction, scheduling that works around shifts and full course loads, and a familiar trip most valley residents already make for work, school, or supplies. Healthcare workers keep renewal dates in check, students meet program prerequisites, and local employers send teams to satisfy workplace-readiness requirements.
To be clear, the training center isn’t in Ben Lomond itself — it’s in the Live Oak area of Santa Cruz at 1515 Capitola Road, Unit G, near 17th Avenue. From Ben Lomond, the usual path is Highway 9 south through Felton into Santa Cruz, with Graham Hill Road as an alternate route toward Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley.

Ben Lomond is a small mountain community, so much of the region’s care sits down the hill in Santa Cruz County. Dignity Health Dominican Hospital on Soquel Drive in Santa Cruz is the county’s main acute-care hospital, with Watsonville Community Hospital serving the southern end of the county. Closer to home, the Santa Cruz Community Health Mountain Health Center on Main Street in Ben Lomond provides local primary care, and clinics and dental offices throughout the valley round out the network. Cabrillo College’s nursing, EMT, and allied-health programs add a steady stream of students who need certification before clinical rotations. Together, these hospitals, clinics, dental practices, and schools keep demand for CPR, BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, and First Aid training strong across the area.
The trip down from the valley is straightforward. Highway 9 is the main route, running south through Felton and into Santa Cruz, where it connects to Highway 1 and River Street toward the 41st Avenue and Capitola Road area. Graham Hill Road offers a second option toward Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley. Whether you’re coming from central Ben Lomond, Brookdale, or nearby Felton and Boulder Creek, the route to the 17th Avenue and Capitola Road area is familiar, and there’s ample parking on-site at 1515 Capitola Road, Unit G.
