Farley was fantastic. I've never had a more comprehensive, thorough, and informative training in terms of information provided, and his delivery made it feel like he really is doing the work he is meant to do in this world, which innately invited us all in. I learned things I never had learned before in other trainings, and have both a new outlook on emergencies, as well as a more mastered feeling of preparedness, awareness and confidence. Highly recommend. Thank you!!!

"Thank you for the wonderful hands-on training! With your instructions, I feel better equipped with knowledge and confidence in my skills. Excellent customer service. Highly recommended!" Sharon Solomon 22 minutes ago
Amazing class! Instructor was extremely kind, warm, knowledgeable and informative. The class was very engaging from beginning to the end and it is impossible to walk out of the classroom without learning something new and feeling more confident about your ability to jump into action if need be. Highly recommended! Jacky Sorenson 45 mins ago
My husband and I really appreciated that the Covid-19 guidelines were strictly adhered to today. It made us feel like your company cares. Great class by the way! Tim Mulhall 47 mins ago
Always thorough and I always feel confident when finished with Farley's class. My company has hired BestCprSeattle for the last few years and it's way more in depth and hands on than previous years. I'd highly recommend them. This year I have a fractured tailbone - no fun getting up and down off the ground. But Farley was right there helping me grab things, and keeping me engaged was the big thing. Time flew by and I honestly feel confident helping someone in need if that need were to arise. Joel Rubenstein, M.D. Vancouver Radiologists Group - 2 hours ago
Very thorough and knowledgeable. I am a physician with years of training and have never seen a more effective teacher or experienced a more interactive class. Kerry Field 8/2/2020
Great, practical course all around. I've taken a lot of CPR over the years. This is the best one, hands down. Really hammered home why you learn the stuff and how to actually do it effectively. Will absolutely chose to re-certify through them next time. Maia W. - 7/15/2020
It’s called BEST for a reason — it really was the best! I did the 4 hour First Aid and CPR/AED training, and it was so worth it! This is so much better than standard trainings where you just watch a video or listen to a lecture. David is an amazing instructor who is passionate about what he teaches. We had lots of opportunities for us to practice during the class. Come ready to participate and you’ll get the most out of the experience. Everyone should be equipped with this knowledge and be prepared with these skills. 10 stars!!!!!!!! 02/28/2020 - Compiled from Feedback forms at MTI Physical Therapy
"Hi Farley - I put out a note to my group asking if they could give me feedback on the CPR classes at Bellevue and First Hill. I thought I'd share." Lynn R - MTIPT, Human Resource Manager

Best CPR and FIRST AID class I've taken. David is a great instructor, smart and very resourceful. He uses real life scenarios and makes you think about all the stuff we overlook daily that could save our lives. Every last cent was worth it! Kristi K. 48 hours ago
Completed the First Aid/CPR/AED class today and it was by far the most comprehensive training I've ever received. Farley, the instructor, was very knowledgeable (and fun) and provided a lot of real life examples to help explain what he was teaching. The class was very interactive, switching partners and using your phone to learn how to access your emergency numbers and information. By going over everything multiple times in different scenarios, I feel more prepared now than I have ever before. Definitely recommend BestCPRSeattle to everyone to learn the right way to perform CPR/First Aid. Amber Demeola 08/05/2020
Most informative class I’ve taken for my CPR/FIRST AID/AED training & certification. Highly recommend, and will come back every 2 years to renew 08/1/2020
Extremely comprehensive, hands-on course filled with a lot of important life saving information! By Jessy B 07/21/2020
Muy buen curso y el entrenador muy amable y da muy bien las clases Felicidades - Maria C. Leslie O. 7/18/2020 Scheduling Coordinator, Neal Smiles Orthodontics Kirkland
By far the most informative instruction we have had. Gives me confidence that I can perform the skills when needed. 07/02/2020
Excellent! - Best first aid course in memory. Lots of good examples and Farley is a knowledgeable and patient instructor. I was impressed at how much first aid has changed since my first courses in the 50s through CERT training in the 2000s. David W. - Seattle Police, Auxilliary Communications Services

This was actually the BEST CPR class I’ve ever attended! If you’re having an emergency, you want me around now! :)🤓 06/29/2020
Outstanding! I think this is my 6th of 7th time renewing my First Aid/CPR training. This was the best class I have had. My instructor, David, was energetic and very engaging. The standard American Heart Association class has you watching a video, then practicing. Not so here. It was all about interactions. It was using your own minds to assess the first aid problems and coming up with solutions. The ensuing discussions really cemented the idea of mental preparedness and overcoming the fear of involvement. I would highly recommend this class over any other. Albert N.

Great instruction, memorable stories, and practical application/practice. Surprisingly enjoyable! Sara Loudon 06/18/2020
The practice was sooo much better than the video courses I've done beforeI Farley did an amazing job helping us really know what to do!!! Ann V. - Elementary Teacher |
6/12/2020 I just completed my First Aid & CPR training last night and it was THE BEST one I've ever taken! I went to a class in Bellevue offered by BestCPRSeattle, it was 4.5 hours of bonding with strangers.
It was super interactive, I'm pretty sure I partnered up with every person in the class at one point, I gave CPR to every adult dummy, a child and a baby. I applied a tourniquet to one person and gave another the heimlich (simulated). As a class we screamed (a lot), laughed (a fair amount) and turned green only a few times.
As the result of the class my first aid kit is getting an upgrade, I'm no longer uncertain about AED devices and I signed up for Smart911.com. - Rachel B. (see Yelp! for more.)

Whitney, 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. As a physician, I've never felt confident or empowered to perform CPR correctly. Now I know I could.

Wow, Dr. Nakamura, 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!

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 BestCPRSeattle 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 BestCPRSeattle 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 BestCPRSeattle for a community training event. Whitney and Farley 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. BestCPRSeattle 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 BestCPRSeattle, they were freshly engaged. I also took the course and was highly engaged and impressed with the course content. BestCPRSeattle 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 BestCPRSeattle 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!

"BestCPRSeattle 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 BestCPRSeattle, you will get a lot of both during the session. I HIGHLY recommend them!"
