I had her class today and it was great, then I read her 1 bad review from Ted A. and had to…read morerespond: Information sticks in people's heads when the information is embedded in example stories. Stories from the instructor and from the experiences of the students. It's up to the student's if they want to share their experiences, it's not forced. Many students have worked a childcare profession for years and need to renew every 2 years. Which means they have stories of emergencies that happen to them and they can relate to the serious lessons being taught. I am sorry Ted A. with the one star review doesn't normally learn through conversation and other's experiences. It sounds like Ted wanted a straight forward list and then to leave. That's my guess. But, for me it was a 2.5 hour class and it was all encompassing. She covered all the material and she had added advice and stories to back up her lessons. For example, I needed my CPR cert because I am applying to be a Nanny. Since she asked me what job I needed the CPR cert for, she was able to give me advice about knowing for sure what addresses I am at in case I need to call 911, because she knows as a Nanny, I won't always be stationary. I am grateful she brought that to my attention and would recommend her class to anyone needing their CPR cert. She has a great attitude and is highly knowledgeable. Will probably go back in 2 years.

Each time I've taken the classes here, they've been informative and straight forward. The instructors are always welcoming and knowledgeable. They welcome questions and do well explaining situations and procedure alongside the training videos. The classes are easy to sign up for and have plenty of availability. The classes are about 4 or so hours long, with a few breaks in between which is nice. It's always nice to see folks taking these classes simply because they're into being outdoors where much of this comes in handy. I do leave each of these classes feeling more confident about helping someone potentially in need.

I'm a fan. I've been…read moretaking classes at Cascade for as long as I can remember. Usually it's ACLS and PALS, but most recently, I took TNCC. General tips for those of you heading this way: They have a coffee machine, but nothing fancy. Powdered creamer and sugar, but it gets the job done. Please be aware that the Tully's that was formerly sharing the same parking lot has now closed. The nearest espresso is at Byen Bakery a few blocks down. Byen is also your best bet for lunch. There's a Thai place that's in the same plaza as Cascade, and while it's passable, it's not out of this world. There's is also a chain pizza place within walking distance (Alfy's, perhaps?) and they do pizza by the slice and have salads. I did not see a microwave at the facility, so if packing a lunch, keep that in mind. Parking in the lot is generally sufficient if you arrive early or on time. As far as instructors go, I have had nothing but great experiences with every single one. You will get medics and RNs primarily, and they are into supporting the students and not the high pressure stuff of yesterday. The environment is casual and they make sure to give sufficient breaks. If you can take TNCC with Linell and Pam, DO IT. They are super fun and great teachers. It was by far the best TNCC class I've had. They are accommodating and calm, and while they make it clear that you must study to pass, they also make sure to hit the high points and make sure everyone can follow along. Highly recommend. The one last thing I'd like to mention is to dress in layers. Some rooms are cold, some are hot, and it's best to wear something light and then have a sweater or jacket on standby. They have filtered water, but you'll want to bring your own bottle. All in all, I think you'll have a great experience with Cascade.

I thought it would just be a course to learn some simple CPR skills, however, I was VERY impressed by how interesting the instructor (Steve) made this class! He has a great sense of humor, also very informative. He didn't just make us watch a bunch of boring videos, he let us have more hands-on practices on manikins than anything else. During the video, he would stop occasionally to explain certain things, he really knows what he's doing. Also the videos he did made us watch were interesting too! I was expecting some older videos from the 90s or so lol Overall not only I've learned everything I needed to learn from this class but also got me very motivated in learning more about life-saving skills so when there's an emergency situation I could be at help.

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.
