    I have used this service for 3 of my kids, but I won't be using it for my last two teenagers to get…read moretheir drivers license. A Plus Safety was fine when I used them for my oldest two children about 10 years ago, but when I tried to have my third child complete his driver's training with them it was a nightmare. First, I called ahead of time and explained that my son dealt with extreme anxiety and was also very quiet. I asked if there was a driver training teacher that could handle driving with someone who was very anxious. They assured me that they had a "couple" of drivers training teachers that would do well with a student driver who had anxiety. I scheduled the appointment, and the first drivers training went ok, but not great. She did tell me that he was very anxious and barely spoke to her, and I reminded her that I had mentioned that when I called to make the appointment. She said he needed a lot of direction and help as he was driving. Well, duh! It was his first time ever driving a car!! We practiced for a few months driving, and then I called to schedule his 2nd appointment. I reminded them AGAIN that he needs someone sympathetic to his anxiety and quiet demeanor. I brought him to his 2nd driver's training lesson and when I came to pick him up I could tell he was upset. I asked the "trainer" how it went and this grumpy old man told me that my son was "way too quiet", didn't follow directions, and "wasn't ready to be driving". He went into a tirade about all the mistakes he made during the lesson. My son immediately broke down in tears when we left, and told me that the man was yelling at him in the car, didn't give clear directions, and had him driving downtown for most of the lesson but wasn't giving reminders about things like one way streets. Hello! YOU are the teacher here! I felt like this man just sat in the car and expected my son to do all the work with no help or direction. No clear communication was used! I was so pissed, but for some reason felt obliged to still schedule our 3rd (and last) appointment for his driver training. (Looking back on it now, I should have just gone with a different driver training school for the last lesson). Anyhow, when I called to make the appointment, I made sure to request that the man who took him on the 2nd driver's lesson NOT take him on the 3rd. He did have an "ok" experience the 3rd lesson with a different teacher, but again, we were told he wasn't ready for the driver's test. I felt as if these driving "trainers" did absolutely next to nothing. And....I am happy to report that a few weeks later my son DID pass his driver's test on the first try with flying colors! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They did not help my son build any confidence in his driving, and they didn't teach him a damn thing! I am scheduling my fourth child for his driver's training, and I am looking elsewhere.

    So far on the phone they were super helpful! 100% willing to look for available times in the near…read morefuture. I am confident my child will have a good experience with this driving outfit! Thank you for making it a great experience.

    I'm so glad I had this training. I've had CPR training and first aid before, but Mary's class was…read moredifferent. Her real life experience as Chico Fire Fighter, school health aid and mother of very competitive athletes made it possible for her to teach us how to handle real life's extraordinary circumstances. I felt like she taught us how to know when and how to help, and how to communicate with injured people and other people who are involved or also trying to help. Recently I came upon a situation. A man was unconscious lying in a pool of water. He'd been assaulted and had hit his head and injured his back and ribs. There was a crowd of people around him, some of whom were trying to move him out of the puddle. I thought everyone knew not to move an injured person unless they were in danger. Anyway, I was so glad to have the knowledge and confidence to know how to help and how to communicate and work with other people who were trying to help. I asked if anyone else had CPR or first aid training. I was surprised that no one said yes. I asked someone to call 911 (which thankfully had already been done). I was then able to clear a few people away, assess the situation and do what I could for the man until the EMT's arrived. I was glad that I knew what to say to him when he came to, and how to encourage him to stay still and reassure him that help was coming. I hardly did anything, but I was able to stay calm and help keep others calm. I'm certain if I hadn't had Mary's class I would have just been a by-stander wishing I could find away to help the man. After the event had passed I remembered that Mary had given us her number and said that we could call her anytime. I was so glad to be able to call her the next day and just talk about what had happened. It's nice that BEST CPR training doesn't just end when you get your certificate. I fully recommend this company. Everyone should have BEST CPR training!

    Mary squeezed my husband and I in to her scheduled for CPR/First Aid trainings so that we would be…read moreready to take two foster children into our home. The certification is of course required and Mary made sure it was not a barrier to caring for children in our community. Her experience made the course come alive and even though we have been certified many times, her real life examples helped these lessons feel far more relevant. I highly recommend Mary's courses!
