The security team in the lobby was always helpful and polite, and there is bike parking in the basement. For the actual course I took: I decided to attend the Intro to Programming Course (evening/part time) at Epicodus once I knew I was moving to Portland from NYC. It was a great chance to meet new people, learn some new skills, and see if I might be interested in changing careers. The Intro to Programming Course was perfect for me because it allowed me to get a taste of programming without having to commit to a full-time program and was flexible around a work schedule. The price point was also perfect for me. Our instructor Kyle was great - he was happy to be as hands-on or as laid back as each programming pair needed. I loved pair-programming - there are so many online resources that you could technically teach yourself most of the programming stuff you'd need to know... but if you're an interactive learner like me that benefits from mutual accountability.... SIGN UP FOR EPICODUS. You'll learn so much from your partners, both about programming and how to think about problem solving. This course was totally worth it!

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.

The second time they had the name of the building as " The Montessori House" when in fact it was a church. There were no signs in front of it indicating otherwise. When you register the information that you get is " The Montessori House" and the address. They should list it at the church since that is the building at the address. Additionally, you should get all the relevant information for the site WHEN YOU REGISTER AND PAY. Not weeks later before the class. I just wonder how much money they are making from people who are sick and have to cancel (a stupid policy from people providing a healthcare related course since everyone realizes illness is unpredictable) and because of poorly labelled class sites. Just wondering...

In my pursuit of inquiring about a BSN in nursing, I came across Linfield College in PDX. I called…read moreand was told to email a gal who was in charge of admissions and that she was very helpful and would get me all the info I needed. The next day I sent her an email a couple paragraphs long stating that I would like to gather some info on transferring into the program, what that would entail being I have an undergrad, partially finished doctorate degree etc. I had also said that I would like to sit down with someone and go over my credit load and see what would transfer. Well this admissions gal, writes me back a two liner. Are you kidding me lady? Two sentences? All the info I just sent to you and asked about all I get is a two liner with no greeting? First off, if Linfield hired you to do their admissions, man oh man, they better reconsider. Has their admissions rate dropped since? Second, it definitely shows through in your return email that you clearly are not interested in future students. At the most, you could have at least said "Hello, thank you for inquiring at Linfield College, please see the info below to answer your many questions and if I can be of more help let me know, etc etc etc" Oh, but no, I got a two liner which clearly showed she had no interest in my inquiry and really didn't want me writing back for more info. Yayyyy Linfield, great way to promote your college, yes start with admissions why don't ya? I don't know folks, what is wrong with these private schools these days? It is becoming a joke. Anyway, in my quest I had also contacted OHSU and Concordia University and I have to say, if any of you are planning on applying to a nursing program in the greater PDX area than shoot for the two I just mentioned. Their staff were helpful, friendly, accommodating, and they actually call you instead of writing back a two liner. Guess where I will apply to and who will get my money? Linfield I suggest stepping up your game. It is 2015, and colleges are a dime a dozen these days.

She took the time to get to know me and my goals. We were able to setup my an academic plan and she guided me through the whole process.

The instructions on participation that were sent ahead of time via email were clear and very detailed.

I would highly recommend this as a unique opportunity to influence new products and try new cutting edge food. Thanks FIC!

I have been aware of the Oregon State University and Oregon Department of Agriculture Food…read moreInnovation Center for many years. A friend of mine developed a snack chip with their assistance. So some of what they do is to design new food products to make use of Oregon's bounty. There is a lot of chemistry of food. They combine that knowledge with taste, preparation/processing, and packaging expertise. A note saying they were doing taste research came across my socials, I applied, and they selected me. In this case, they wanted to keep the results objective, so we all signed a nondisclosure agreement. The staff was very conscientious in all their communication. The building has its own free parking. They are very organized. They have a system that ensures privacy, and does not allow reviewers to interfere with or influence each other. Their food preparation is very precise and repeatable, and for some tests, some very senior chefs from top Portland restaurants are involved in preparing the food. It is definitely world class.

I have been working with one of the most amazing admissions counselors ever. Her name is Amanda…read moreand she has been one of the most helpful people I have ever dealt with at a college.

I have been searching for a college where I could get an ACCREDITED graduate degree in Complementary and Alternative healthcare, and this is the ONLY one that I know of that is distance learning. I look forward to starting my classes in May!! And for the record, this school is completely affordable and has multiple payment options based on the needs of the student.

I was looking at their PhD program quite seriously and trying to decide between this and another…read moreprogram. I had a difficult time calculating total cost with various fees, especially lab fees. Because the total cost isn't easily transparent, I did some deep research and came to the conclusion that the high lab cost would substantially increase the price of the program beyond the base cost. The admissions individual was very responsive until an email asking for verification if the cost based on my research was accurate because I would likely be priced out if so. Communication abruptly stopped at that point. This lack of follow through gives the college an unprofessional and a very "for profit" vibe. I also had concerns for the application of a PhD in integrative health, which I spoke to friends in the medical field about. Our discussions added to my hesitancy to spend a large chunk of time and money on an ambiguous degree. I may have considered getting a certificate here and was going to ask about it in a follow up but I guess they decided that I wasn't a big enough money maker to justify their time.
