Wow... this was a tough 4. 5 stars for the First Aid/CPR/AED class and the instructor, Matt Brady…read more 3 stars for their administration and process. And because the 3 burned so much of my time, I had to pull my overall down from a 5 to a 4. Course - I've been certified FA/CPR certified for 18 years with AED added on in the last 5. This renewal, I decided to try a different educator. There were some updates and changes to best practices, which were highlighted throughout. Classes had a good blend of video learning, hands-on practice and validation, and live lecture with Q&A. Solidly 21st century. The instructor was engaging, had lots of personal experience, and had a great energy. It's the best I've had so far. There were a couple of small points missing that gave me pause, and I brought them up during the first aid part. Small but important things such giving lots of ice-cold water or sports drinks to someone in heat exhaustion or heat stroke can be very detrimental if they are very dehydrated (from vomiting to even sending them into cardiac arrest). Oh, and the Hillsboro campus has a single-serve, custom-grind Aramark coffee maker... super sweet! 5 stars. Challenges/lesson that may be helpful: Admin - CTC is a DBA, so there will be a discrepancy between your bill, the training provider, and the certifying authority. By the time I called, the booker said the Portland class I was hoping for wasn't available anymore. Instead she suggested a similar class at the Hillsboro location. I didn't know where that was but she said it would be on the receipt. It wasn't. The desktop site is much more functional than the mobile app, so don't rely on it. Google maps couldn't initially find it the Hillsboro training location. Instead it pointed to a nearby Hillsboro fire station. I pinned the company and address, so maybe that will improve the score so it shows up for others. Here's by biggest admin thing - So by default you apparently get an eCard. That's fine. What is not mentioned is that there is a whole long legal-ease agreement with privacy policy by the AHA that is over 3,600 words. Really? I've never had to do anything so ridiculous to get proof of my training completion. It took another hour on the phone between calling both the AHA and CTC to arrange to have a card mailed to me. Too much time. Next time I'll know better.

It was a thorough class and answered so many questions we had. I feel much better equipped mentally and emotionally to be able to handle a situation if it arises again. Shawn's personal stories of her experience were really helpful anecdotes to remembering things. She's very knowledgeable and professional. I definitely would recommend this class.

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.
