I took Farley's CPR class in Bellevue this month and it was one of the best CPR classes I have taken. I have to renew my certification every two years for my fitness certs so I have taken MANY CPR classes. The thing that impressed me the most was the fact that he had us on the floor with the mannequins right away in order to demonstrate what we already knew. He didn't assume that we were all starting from scratch. This quick assessment of prior/current knowledge is so essential when it comes to teaching adults. I also really appreciated Farley's addition of having us practice assertiveness. In an emergency, someone has to be in charge until help arrives and that person has to be calm, confident and (if necessary) demanding. I actually went home with quite an adrenaline rush! (That has never happened in any other CPR class I have taken.) Thanks, Farley, for making it real. read more

Farley was great! Keeps you engaged throughout class so a 5 hour lecture went by fast! I will be taking all future course there.

Farley is an amazing instructor and a pleasure to take classes with. Who knew first aid/CPR training could be fun!

Great class. Farley was a great teacher. Loved all his stories. The location was great!! Time flew

As a midwife, I've been taking CPR classes for 16 years, and this was by far the best. Dave was a fantastic instructor and used several techniques for really getting the steps into our heads. He also reminded us of our own humanity as rescuers, taught us how to stay in our bodies while taking action, and shared his own experiences as learning opportunities. I will definitely go to BestCPR again for my next training! read more

I had to renew my cpr/first aid certificate to take my scout troop on a camping trip. I wasn't super excited to get up early on a Saturday and spend 5 hours with a resuscitation dummy, but I ended up learning alot and having a fun morning. My instructor Farley was professional and engaging and had a great mix of information and anecdotes. Super happy with this class! read more

Very informative class. I attended the First aid + CPR AED combo class, received a lot of life-saving information and hands-on experiences that'd be absolutely essential to have. Totally worth the time and $$ spent there. The instructor is very friendly, knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. read more

This is my second time taking CPR/AED with Farley. I highly recommend his class. They are very informative and not boring.

The best First Aid/CPR class I have taken. You don't watch a boring video for 4 hours. Very interactive and Farley is an awesome instructor and keeps you engaged. I actually learned more in this class than any other CPR classes! If you need to take this class, I recommend you taking it with Farley! read more

Mind-blowing, eye-opening. No video showing aka wasting time. A real informative First Aid and CPR Training.

Very good class! Super safe and Socially Distant and clean everything. Farley is an awesome teacher year after year

Farley is an excellent trainor, his clear and concise explanation of subject matter coupled with relevant insights made the class very interesting, the role playing workshop will surely last me the next 2 years until I have to take another refesher read more

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 was Farley. He 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. read more

This class was hands down the best class I've ever taken in the past 15 years! The information is clear, thorough and confidence boosting. Instructor Farley is very skilled and covers everything you could need to jump into action in the real world. He even shares that he wasn't always this confident and knowledgeable but he teaches you how to be. I also feel like I need to be prepared for incidents I might come across and now I know what I need and how to do it! Iwill recommend this to everyone I know read more

Best class I have ever taken! Farley made it fun and interesting and our office feels so much more prepared for an emergency requiring CPR/AED. read more

Took a class with Farley just this morning and it was hands down the best cpr/first aid class I've taken

Truly a great class! It's quick, efficient, and comprehensive. Farley is a dynamic and interesting teacher. He equips you to walk out the door and save a life! Hopefully it's a skill you never need, but if you do, you'll be had you used NW best CPR! read more

I initially chose this company for taking the course because I could not find it offered at any other Eastside location location.  I have had a variety of first aid training in the last six decades including a Red Cross MOFA course. I was unprepared to be sucked up into Farley's contagiously passionate delivery of this material (CPR/AED).  His organization, content, visual aids, equipment and delivery were as good as I can imagine.  He clearly has studied statistics and trends in the survival rates and effectiveness of CPR techniques, besides having a wealth of anecdotal illustrations.  I feel lucky to have taken the course from him. I advise people to pay very close attention to the directions to find the place and to look at the Google Maps photos taken from the parking lot. It was harder to find than "Reverse" in an old Volkswagen. read more

Farley was very knowledgeable and moved the class forward with purpose and interaction. Happily answered all questions. Highly recommend!

This was an great course and was very informative. Farley is very passionate about this course and I was able to learn a lot about CPR and first aid. read more

Hands down the best CPR/First Aid course EVER. Far exceeded my (and my coworker's) expectations. Farley came to our office and taught a group of 14 of us. He kept us laughing and engaged the whole time, and we all walked out feeling informed and so much more confident. Needless to say, 4 hours of learning FLEW by and each of us are so glad we took part in this extremely important training. I'm so glad I found NW Best CPR; would recommend them to others in a heartbeat (no pun intended :p). All in all, wonderful training at an unbeatable price. Thanks, Farley and NW Best!!. read more

I feel more confident delivering first aid, CPR and the Heimlich maneuver after this class. It was engaging and I learned a lot.

I was certified in 1st Aid & CPR years ago, but this class is by far a much better and well-rounded class than the one I took before. I took the First Aid and CPR/AED class which was 4.5 hrs. The instructor, Farley, was fantastic. The class was very hands on, well organized, and thorough. I am lucky to work at a place that hired him to instruct us, and wish that more places made the investment. Absolutely recommend this to everyone, you can sign up as an individual or get a group of people together. You can go to him or he can come to you. When it's time to renew my certification in 2 years, I will definitely use NW Best CPR. read more

Highly informative, super practical, and engagingly fun are three thoughts that easily come to mind with NWBestCPR. We used NWBestCPR in August 2015 for our AmeriCorps CPR/First Aid Training during our week-long orientation. Our AmeriCorps members serve at middle schools throughout Washington State. Farley was able to make this training 'real' as he called out a number of situations that members should be prepared for and walked them through proper protocol. He delivered it in a way where our AmeriCorps members were enthusiastically engaged throughout the 4.5 hour session. Time flew by so quickly. Never have I witnessed such a training as enjoyable as this. The NWBestCPR training was, in fact, our members' favorite session of the entire orientation. NwBestCPR is truly the best! We will definitely go with NWBestCPR for our future trainings. read more

Farley was a great instructor... Even kept my 12 year old interested the whole time !

Farley is still awesome. No more motor home, was quite bummed not to see it! Short and sweet update!

A 41/2 hour first aid, CPR and the use of the AED class flew by very quickly. Farley made the class very exciting and I feel everyone in the class came away being proficient in all the various procedures. I would highly recommend Farley with NW Best CPR for training and updating your certification. This class for the $$ is the best in the Seattle area. read more

What a great experience!! I've had CPR seminars from several different instructors over the years and Farley was hands down the most interesting and knowledgeable. He had many tools to give us as real an experience as possible, and left us with some great resource that we could refer to in the future. THANK YOU!! read more

This class is truly the BEST. I learned more than any other class of this type I have ever taken. The trainer is enthusiastic and Very Knowledgeable. read more

Took the CPR/BLS Class. Really appreciated Farley's interactive teaching style vs the "watch a video for 2 hours". It's very informative and I learned new information from the class I took a few years ago making this life saving process much more efficient hence more effective! Also picked up a nice first aid kit for my car on the way out! read more

This class was really amazing. I have never taken a class that allowed me to get to try the skills I was being taught. We were able to work with other students in a hands on manner which enabled me to learn even better. I think I might even remember something this time! read more

Fantastic class. I'm an RN so I've taken many CPR classes in the past. This was great. The instructor was engaging and well prepared. I loved that there was a lot of time of actually practice compressions and scenarios. There were also a lot of extra bits of information to help prepare you for emergencies. read more

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 AEDs 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 compressions 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! read more

I took the First Aid CPR training with Farley yesterday. It was 4.5 hours of very useful information and practical hands on training! I feel much more confident in my ability to respond to unfortunate situations where first aid and cpr may be necessary. The training was a great mix of up to date information and personal stories and working with others. Thanks Farley! read more

Farley is a great cpr instructor! He combines real life stories with his instruction which really illustrate the importance of the training. His training equipment is well maintained allows you to really practice the cpr skills. He really tailors the training to your particular area and office space, to truly prepare you for emergencies in your office or outside. I highly recommend him for his insight into your particular office setting and his overall instruction. You will be much better prepared to render CPR after his training. read more
