Michelle was lively from the beginning which made the whole session more engaging and enjoyable. I honestly was just expecting a quick lesson on the proper way to perform CPR and left with an awesome amount of really useful information on how to deal with so many other emergency situations too. I feel way more prepared to be in charge of maintaining the safety of a bunch of kiddos and any events that may occur in my daily life as well. I'm definitely super grateful I got to be apart of her session with us!

Suzanne is the best. I can't speak highly enough about her.

She's the best prenatal and postpartum therapist hands down. She's just the best massage therapist and also affordable. I've been to. She's able to identify the problem areas causing my back and sacrum to flair up. She gets to everything and I always leave feeling like I had the longest, most thorough massage. I followed her here from Breathe Yoga and Massage - she's one of the instructors but still sees clients here. She's super warm and you can't tell she knows what she's doing. * This place is still new and I think you have to book via email or phone still, but just call and ask for Suzanne. Also the online photos look like it's a student room with a bunch of tables, but that's the photos of the classroom I guess.

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.

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.
