I took my initial course for ACLS here and the instructors were AWESOME. I felt like the…read moreinformation that I learned was extremely helpful, the instructors answer your questions without making you feel stupid, and going through the different scenarios with hands-on learning was really great. My group was mainly with the instructor Adrienne, and Adrienne was very helpful, knowledgeable, and very nice. Now that I'm done with the course, I feel prepared for any situation that will require advanced cardiac life support. They were also very quick with getting me the e-card for ACLS; they said that it would take up to three business days to receive, but I received the email three hours after completing the class. I have never written a Yelp review before, but I had to give these people a good review because they were excellent and I actually enjoyed what I learned because they made it fun and interesting, and I could tell that they really knew their material well and have used it in their work as paramedics. I took my BLS from PCC, but I would recommend Cascade over PCC hands down.

I had a terrible experience with Nomad Consulting and cannot recommend this business to anyone…read more I completed both the online and in-person portions of the Adult/Child/Infant CPR course. Due to a technical issue with the Red Cross system not recognizing my e-learning certificate properly, I did not immediately receive my certification. Instead of helping resolve the issue or guiding me through the proper steps, the owner was incredibly unorganized, dismissive, and accusatory. He admitted to letting me into the class without verifying my e-learning status -- a mistake on his part -- but then turned around and blamed me when the system didn't immediately reflect my completion. He claimed the certificate I submitted "looked doctored" (a completely false and offensive accusation), and dismissed my attempts to clarify or provide proof. He offered no real support, gave unclear and delayed communication, and made the situation far more stressful than it needed to be. I had zero empathy or accountability from the business owner. I have since contacted the Red Cross directly, where I was treated with far more professionalism and respect -- and confirmed that I did in fact complete the e-learning portion as required. This business was disorganized, condescending, and unprofessional. I strongly recommend seeking CPR certification elsewhere.

This provider is a short walk from Trimet in the Gateway area. They provided snacks, coffee, tea and water as well as cushioned chairs. My trainer today was Tim and he did a great job keeping things engaging and fun while providing feedback. Tim is an excellent trainer as he really understands the material and which pieces are the most important to understand and remember in a crisis situation. He met us where we were at, always polite and respectful and taking time to get to know us a bit. I highly recommend taking training here and I hope to return in the future!
