I learned more in your class in the first 30 minutes about CPR than I've known in 45 years of medicine. Thank you for being so passionate about teaching the newest protocols and explaining why CPR is usually so ineffective, even in the hospital. I've never felt confident or empowered to perform CPR correctly. Now I know I could.

Wow, I want to thank you so much for NOT making us watch the boring video! Your class involved at least 5x more hands-on training than I've ever had before, and I've been doing this for years. I couldn't believe how much more engaging and confidence building it was than courses I've taken at the hospital. I will absolutely recommend your class to my co-workers!

This is the best First Aid / CPR / AED course I've ever had. Farley is experienced, knowledgeable, organized, and enthusiastic, creating realistic scenarios, giving accurate feedback, and reinforcing essential points. Definitely recommended.

I just wanted to say thank you for teaching this class. I have done several CPR classes over the years , and this one is the best I have attended by far (including the ones I received as training to be a member of Search and Rescue). I got so much more out of the interactive format than other classes where you sit and get lectured at for the first 2/3rds and spend the last few minutes of the class doing actual practice. I felt like even though our staff was a fairly large group, everyone received individual coaching on technique because we were on the manikins throughout the duration of the class. Because repetition builds skill, I feel more confident that I would be able to correctly do CPR in an emergency situation. I also felt that the real world stories and personal experience touched everyone and broke through the “oh another safety training” barrier that often comes up.
Thanks again and I have been and will continue to recommend you to others!

Farley of NWBestCPR taught a BLS class to a our medical group in Vancouver, WA. I've been getting CPR training for the past 12 years and this particular training by Farley was in a class of it's own. I highly recommend this course due to his knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for truly believing every life can be saved by the actions of everyday people. When we finished the course I felt truly empowered and prepared to save a life!

Every year NWBestCPR hosts a four-hour CPR and First Aid Training for our 20+person AmeriCorps team. Farley was an awesome trainer who related easily to my members and made the workshop fun for everyone. He was easily able to accommodate those with physical limitations and was very considerate regarding the variety of skill levels in the room. All of my members gave glowing feedback about the experience and I will not hesitate to hire him again for next year. The BEST CPR/First Aid trainer I have ever had, hands down!

We used NwBestCPR for a community training event. They did a great job! We needed one female trainer for an all women class and we also had some members needing a higher level of certification. They accommodated our requests and were very easy to work with. Getting our certification cards after the class was fast and painless. Highly recommend!

The instructor, Carlos was knowledgeable, energetic, and provided a lot of concrete examples to demonstrate the importance of learning this skill. He made the knowledge accessible with hands on practice and by sharing personal stories. I appreciated this training as it was less intimidating than the previous CPR/AED training I had received, and yet I came away with greater clarity on what I need to do in an emergency situation (and just general life preparedness). Thanks!

"I'm not going to lie, this was the best experience I've had becoming certified/re-certified in CPR/BLS. Our instructor, Farley, was so awesome! He mentally threw me into vivid situations and helped me almost feel the panic and hesitancy and tunnel vision that likely comes when a life or death situation arises and someone is not breathing. I was so sucked into the situations that I felt urgent about mastering the training. He provided clear, direct, and extra helpful training that left me feeling very confident (more than I've ever been so far!) in taking charge of immediately beginning CPR if I ever see someone who is not breathing. He established perspective with statistics on survival rates and credibility for King County's Fire and rescue department, discussed possible things that hold people back from helping when someone is not breathing, mentioned details about what can happen to a body when someone is not breathing, made the training as real as possible and created in me an important sense of educated urgency that is priceless. I am so motivated to locate AED's near my home and anywhere I travel, to pay attention to my surroundings and my precise location wherever I go, to get a better quality first aid kit and someday even my own AED. Not to mention get all my family members and friends educated with this valuable training! I also enjoyed the small class size, partner switching, and the adequate compression practice and conditioning. I was glad he gave us a bonus round with the AED speaking Spanish too; so many creative ways to prepare us. He even sent us a follow up email with review sheets and helpful, handy reminders about action items he recommended we take. I would take his class every time and highly recommend him and this course to everyone!"

"I vetted a number of CPR / First Aid instructors in the WA area for our company. We were in need of professional, personable, charismatic, flexible, and reliable instructors since we offer First Aid / CPR to all of our WA employees on a monthly basis. NWBestCPR fit the bill perfectly. I have heard very positive feedback from our field employees and corporate personnel. I was particularly impressed by the rave reviews from employees who took the course to renew their certificates - they were expecting to be bored by a class that they had taken before, but with NWBestCPR, they were freshly engaged. I also took the course and was highly engaged and impressed with the course content. NWBestCPR goes above and beyond what is required of them to provide top-notch training in a dynamic, relevant, engaging, and informative way."

"Hi Ren,
I'm happy to provide a reference for NwBestCPR:
I think I looked in to a half dozen CPR trainers last year. Farley, the owner of NwBestCPR was by far the easiest to work with, competitively priced, understood our school environment, and was able to work within our in-service schedule. I was particularly interested in being able to have our staff work with child-sized dummies so that in a real situation they would have that memory/experience. Farley was able to accommodate.
When he got to campus, he was friendly and informative. The staff really appreciated that he went over the basic knowledge and then focused on HOW to use that knowledge. For example, he’d say, “a student just fell down and is having a seizure, what are you going to do?” It was good to have experienced the initial panic moment and then have to figure out, what AM I going to do?!?!
We didn’t cover infant CPR because of time limitations, but he offered to stay late because I told him that we had about a dozen staff who had, or were expecting, a new baby in the family. I take it as a testament to his training skills that about 10 staff members came back for infant CPR AFTER a full day of in-service training.
The next day of in-service, our consulting nurse was going through student issues (medications, epi pens, vaccines, safety issues) and she was trying to quiz the staff but they all knew the answers. Hearing “Farley said….” really reinforced to me that their training was effective.
Clearly, I don’t have any reservations recommending him and will not hesitate to rehire him."
Good luck!

"NwBest CPR is great! Their training is lively and thorough. Rather than listening to a trainer drone on, you are actively engaged in response to emergency scenarios. As someone who has been a corporate trainer, I've seen too much training that is merely showing or demonstrating something--too many miss the importance of repetition and practice. With NwBestCPR, you will get a lot of both during the session. I HIGHLY recommend them!"
