I've learned so much from this program! Tracie was my instructor and she really taught us how to…read morethink like health care professionals. She taught us to always keep the patient's perspective and life experience in mind and always maintain dignity and empathy for them. We had lots of reviews of readings and practicing skills with classmates. I am very curious and have lots of questions. I was able to get feedback and input when ever I needed it throughout the process. We had plenty of study material for review for the exam. By the time we had our exam I felt ready, and passed! All of the requirements to become a certified nurse was arranged by Roxanne. We had 80 hours in person experience in a facility assisting CNA's. All the paper work and arrangements were taken care of making the process straight forward and smooth. I had a great experience with North Bay CNA and even completed a Home Health Aid course with them after. If you are looking to start a career in health care, I highly recomend North Bay CNA!

OF COURSE she beat even my HIGH expectations! The shipyard where I work is a high stakes safety environment, where pulling people out of production is a big deal. All of the feedback from the 25 participants (over 3 days) was really positive! We got excellent training on site tailored to our needs. I would recommend PSI for FA/CPR in any environment, any age participant, any industry.

If you live in the area and are considering art or music for your child, try this place first.

Tiny Talkers, the Swain Center, and all their therapists have been such a blessing for our two…read morechildren. Our eldest was diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech at two and a half, after speech delays and severe lack of care from our primary care doctor. When she started Tiny Talkers at two and a half years old, she had no words that were consistent and intelligible by strangers. Tiny Talkers, and others at the Swain Center worked closely with her, and got results within a few months. They gave her an individualized learning plan that was tailored to her strengths and needs, and equally importantly, gave us as parents the tools and training to be effective therapists at home. Through lot's of hard work, our eldest is now at effectively age appropriate speech development, under a year later. They were able to accomplish this under the spectre of the pandemic no-less, with thoughtful, appropriate and responsible use of both teletherapy and modified in-person therapy sessions. It's hard to express how appreciative I am of their services; as we approach the Christmas season, it's remarkable to think that last Christmas our daughter wasn't talking, and this year she is so abuzz about Christmas and Santa and all the presents she's hoping for. It is the best Christmas present a parent could hope for.

I give the Swain Center one star because their customer service is horrible. It is a shame, as the…read morespeech therapists are absolutely phenomenal. The accountant (Stephanie) is one of the rudest people I have ever met, and her been a nightmare to work with. When I voiced my concerns to the owner (Dr. Swain) I received no response, which helps me understand why the level of customer service is where it is at. Again, I want to stress that the speech therapists are wonderful, and very good at what they do. If it wasn't for that, I would have definitely taken my business elsewhere.

You complete the online skills section first, and then go in person to test hands-on skills with the mannequins. If you know what you're doing, you can get in and out in 10-20 minutes! I highly recommend this business. Inside the office is clean and quiet - there's only 2 stations, and when I did my training I was the only person there. Highly recommend using Safety Training Seminars for your BLS/CPR.

The worst customer service ever! Not sure why other sites show mostly 5 star reviews, and somehow…read morethe low-1 star ones seem to "disappear"??? Don't use them for "training", they suck- telephone operators don't have a clue what they're doing, nobody returns phone calls, phones go unanswered- worst of all, you take the training online, show up to the site to do the skills training part, and their computer/manikins are inoperable, won't work, cannot turn on- and I waited close to an hour there and nobody was able to help. So inconvenient! Took time off work, and now delayed getting my certificate. Lacking professionalism.

How does anyone birth a child without taking Kelly's class?? In her empowering and grounded way,…read moreKelly would say you don't NEED the class, you will birth your baby no matter what! But let me tell you, I feel infinitely more confident and informed after taking this class, and much calmer about the process. I can't imagine heading into birth without the wisdom I gained. The content is so relevant, evidence-based, unbiased, captivating... the time flew by. Even my husband, who was a little skeptical heading into it, totally had his mind blown and is a much more informed partner about his role in labor. Kelly herself is a godsend. She has a wealth of knowledge on this complex topic and presents it in the most digestible way. She is a brilliant educator, not just a brilliant birth educator. I wish we all had a Kelly to teach us about this when we were children. Five stars does not do this justice. If you're on the fence about whether you need a birth class, just sign up. You, your partner, and your baby will all benefit tremendously.

I was anxious about taking a birthing class virtually, but Kelly really knocks it out of the park…read more She keeps the class small and conversational, covers a wide variety of topics, and ultimately helped me and my partner feel so much better prepared for the birth of our first baby. After class she sends out some great materials and reading to further prepare. Most of the class mentioned they were doing hospital births, so she was able to tailor her material to the experience we would be having at a hospital. Lots of time for questions and quality things to take away. Highly recommend!

STAINED GLASS MAKING CLASS!! 5/5! What an amazing workshop experience!…read more Myself and two others took the Beginner class as a fun birthday activity :) It was $160 per person and a thousand percent worth the price. The workshop/class takes place in a private studio located outside Rohnert Park in the beautiful Sonoma County farmlands/hills. A great setting to get crafty and learn some new skills. In our class, there were 5 total people present, and it looks like there would only be space for 5-6 people per class maximum, which is nice. Caroline is a master instructor and such a patient teacher. We went in to this class knowing nothing about what to expect, and she breaks down every single step to make it accessible. You get to practice some cutting skills first on plain glass before you advance to cutting out your colored glass. There is a binder full of patterns to choose from, or you can supply your own idea. Caroline offers input on which designs she feels are appropriate for a beginner, but gives you freedom to select what you want to create (take her advice though, she knows best!!). I found a reference photo online and she was able to whip up a hand drawn image for me to use to trace my glass! Very impressive. You have 6 total hours to complete your piece. And wow - we ended up taking 6.5 hours to finish....holy moly! It's definitely harder than it looks, but this was so fun. Caroline was incredibly kind to let us stay that extra 30 min to finish up final touches. We were surprised it took us that long! It may have gone faster if the class size was just us 3. We were advised to pack lunches and snacks, which were much needed. You get to enjoy snack breaks sitting out on her scenic patio area. Bring a jacket if you get chilly, as the studio opens up to the elements. Also, WEAR COMFY SNEAKERS. You will be standing almost the entire time. My only point of feedback would be wishing some barstools were supplied!! This class would not be accessible for those with mobility impairments or restrictions in standing long periods. If you have trouble bending and looking down repeatedly, I would skip the class, as you stay bent for long periods while working on the project. I highly recommend this experience! It was a lovely way to celebrate my birthday. Very fun. We will absolutely plan to return for another class.
