Clients & Reviews

I am a directing dentist of a large group practice that has used Code 3 for our CPR training the past five or six years. Derek has provided the most informative, interactive, engaging, and yes, even enjoyable CPR instruction I have ever received in my many years of practice. I strongly recommend Code 3 Training to satisfy any and all CPR requirements needed for all dental team members.

Thank you for the great BLS CPR class you gave us at Community Home Health and Hospice yesterday afternoon. The class was terrific – informative, up to date with new protocols and changes to former curriculum, and entertaining. I also always enjoy the real life stories you include to illustrate principles you are teaching. I learn something helpful to my own nursing practice from each account you share of your personal experience.

Hello Derek,
We all wanted to thank you again for the class yesterday. Our whole team enjoyed how practical and engaging your presentation was. It turns out that quite a few of us do better with the hands on learning style and were dreading a long lecture and test. So thank you for the format, your laidback teaching style and lack of a test! We quite appreciated it.

First off, I wanted to give you and Luis a huge thank you for coming out and sharing some of your wisdom with us. Yesterday and even this morning, I keep hearing talk about how this last training was exceptional and the best CRP/First Aid class they’ve gone too. You two have defiantly exceeded expectations and I hope to take another one of your classes down the road!

We had an outstanding session with Derek today. He was engaged with the entire group.. had the perfect balance of bringing in some humor, shared some good stories and of course shared his detailed knowledge on the subject matter. Derek also went around and provided input to each individual during CPR session which I felt was well received. While I have been through multiple training sessions in the past this hasn’t always been the case. The greatest testament I can give is to share no one left the session early and again was engaged the entire time. I personally felt the 4+ hours flew by (along with others)… again a well done to Derek. Derek – from the entire Federal Way group here today…. THANK YOU!

Code 3 Safety & Training has always provided a comprehensive CPR course that is actually enjoyable to participate in!! We all enjoyed the class and the instructor was informative and made sure we were all very comfortable in performing the CPR techniques that were being taught. Thanks again for the great experience.

Cowlitz PUD provides CPR, AED and first aid training for all of our employees and has utilized Code 3 services for the last several years. Derek and his team continue to provide excellent training sessions that are clear, concise and well received by our employees.

Derek and his staff have come to our office for several years now. We’ve done the CPR, AED & First Aid classes, as well as Fire Extinguisher Training. Derek is very easy to work with, the price is right and we love that he comes to us! The class is never boring, and he sprinkles in stories.

Garrett was great. He was engaging, kept us entertained, always asked if we had questions before moving on, and kept with our timeline. You guys do a great job!

Garrett was wonderful to work with and the reviews from our staff on his training have been terrific. We have been so pleased with working with Code3. I’m thrilled that this was another great experience.

The class really enjoyed the teaching style with all the hands on and music. Very impactful!! 100% feedback was “Derek is passionate about their program and not just going through the material required to give.” The class wishes we had more time to spend and share stories, they felt like it was real life training with all the examples and experience you bring to the table. Nicely done, we look forward to seeing you folks again in the near future THANK YOU!!

Over the past few days I’ve had several staff that took the CPR class on Oct 18th tell me how much they enjoyed it. Comments included “He made it fun”, “He had stories that made it more real” and “It was the best CPR class they’ve had.” We really appreciate Code 3’s flexibility and wanted to pass on the comments. Kudos to Luis!

Derek! That was an awesome training. Very informational and after talking with the guys we all feel much more comfortable jumping into action if need be. It’s not easy training a bunch of guys that think they “already know everything”, they’re a good group of guys but trust me that was not an easy group and you kept them locked in the whole time. We look forward to keeping you guys as a partner for our trainings. Well done and I will recommend Code 3 Safety & Training to anyone that asks.

Excellent training. Four hours flew by. The hands-on practice was a boost to my confidence. I would definitely recommend this training to others. Derek and Aimee are a great team. All questions were answered.

Johnson Assisted Living

Setting up an onsite appointment was easy. Derek spoke to me about what I wanted to achieve, and set the class up around those topics, and my schedule. I was thoroughly impressed and everyone learned a lot that day. The class was hands on, and was presented in a way that built everyone’s confidence to actually use these skills. Great real world experience!

Took a CPR and AED training this past weekend. By far the best class I have attended! It went by very quickly and I feel more knowledgeable and comfortable going forward with my CPR skills! Highly recommend!!
