You'll get experiences on the road for city drives and some highway drives so you can get a comfortable feel for the vehicles. All of this and personal study, really helps on the day of the practical exam for the state. I really enjoyed my experiences with this team and I would recommend them to anyone interested.

Not only have I been able to apply their framework in the workspace but in my personal life as well--they're one of the better-kept secrets in the organizational behavior and social-emotional learning fields. I plan on using their People Skills course to better tailor my emails to coworkers. It's only been a few days but I'm seeing the effect already. Fewer tensions, miscommunications, and better results. And, 39 years in the business. What a legacy!

Five stars from our whole family -- highly recommend!

If you need an expert to help you understand your strengths and opportunities as a firearm handler, Clark is who you want teaching and coaching you. His balanced and relentlessly positive approach teaches you the technical aspects of firearm handling and enables you to feel confident, even as a novice shooter. He understands how to work on one thing at a time and help you progress through the procedures to a point of competency. I took his CCW class today. Knowing I have a LOT of practice needed to gain command of proper techniques, I'm already more confident in CCW because I understand the context and procedure to concealed carry and the optimal approach. Now it's time to practice, practice, practice and perfect. Thank you Clark!

Class focuses more on hands on than just watching long videos which I think is a great teaching strategy. Steve was very informative and answered all our questions. Complete equipments for the training. The mannequins are so hi-tech it lights up red or green when your compressions are too fast/slow which gives you direct feedback. 3 hours of class went by super fast! Steve knows how to keep his class fun! The building was very easy to find. They even provide a snack bar when you get hungry in class. If you're one of those people that gets distracted in class easily or falls asleep watching long videos, I would highly suggest for you to go here. It'll be a completely different learning environment. Thank me later!!

My wife and renewed our required First Aid/CPR and AED certification by taking Kevin's training…read moretoday. Somehow he's made it even more enjoyable and faster-paced than two years ago. He has such an easy and clear manner in teaching his class. What both impressed and surprised me is how certain CPR instructions have changed in the past two years. Kevin gave detailed instructions even in where/how to stand next to someone having a cardiac or choking event, where to position legs and feet and where to put the cellphone (on speakerphone) next to the victim for talking with a 911 operator. Kevin's trainings are replete with stories about calls he's been on in the past year or so and the specific reasons why some of those calls had happy or tragic endings. The expanse of his knowledge on his subject is breathtaking--so he's the right guy to be teaching this class! Also, we've been to CPR/First Aid certification training that dragged on and on. Kevin's class flies by while ensuring we all have not only gained or refreshed knowledge but had that right amount of hands-on practice. He covers so much in his 3-hour training that it's best to just take the class to discover all it encompasses. And--Kevin? See you in two years, my friend.

I took the 2 day phlebotomy class here. It's definitely geared for people who are already in a…read morehealthcare role, or people who are just starting a new role but need the certification and will be given additional on the job training, as opposed to a 10 week class at a community college which has a lot more practice time. To pass you need to attend the full sessions and do 2 successful live sticks. To get certified in Washington state you just have to pay the department of health and prove that you passed the class. I took the class at the Seattle location (which is at a hotel in SLU, NOT at the office address on Westlake) with teacher Mikal. She was very helpful, competent, and informative. She shared a lot of valuable tips and tricks that you wouldn't necessarily pick up just from reading the textbook that's given out or watching the training videos. She was also engaging and was able to put nervous people in the class at ease. Depending on your specific needs are for your professional development, I would recommend this class for those needing a phlebotomy license.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Reis was communicative at every step leading up to the inspection,…read moreshowed up on time (and even gave us a heads up that he thought he was on schedule but might be delayed by traffic well in advance), and was very friendly and professional. He was masked and very clearly taking COVID precautions very seriously, which was greatly appreciated. The inspection was extremely thorough compared to others I've had in the past, but still completed in a time that seemed more than reasonable. At the end of the inspection Reis gave me a tour of the house from top-to-bottom and not only covered everything he planned to put in his report, but also gave lots of additional context about why it mattered, how it could be remediated, and how soon action was needed - this is the kind of above-and-beyond experience that separates the best from everyone else. He was upfront ahead of time about the possibility that he would be unable to perform a requested service, and when it turned out that he was in fact unable he recommended someone in the area that could. A wonderful experience as a homeowner, and a truly nice guy to boot. You couldn't hope to do any better.
