Our History
Twenty-Eight Years and Growing
FACT began as an idea to simplify first aid & CPR training in 1986. The initial FACT first aid and CPR course developed by local healthcare professionals took over two (2) years to develop. These professional determined that we were teaching materials in current first aid classes that were not even used in advanced life support ambulances but classes were wasting students time in class learning these materials. The goal, simplify the program so that students learned by understanding, NOT by memorization. Well, it worked. Participants loved the course and word spread. Next we were asked to apply the same philosophy other aspects of safety such as job site safety, motorcycle training and driver education. Now twenty-eight years later we are still striving to provide the same dedication to education and customer service that got us here today. Please take a look at the miles stones of our company below as we are proud of where we have come from and where we are going.
We are looking forward to 2017 with plans for more classes available, on-line registration for all courses we offer, and more technology use in the classes that we offer. We would also like to increase staff education to provide better service and education to our customers.
FACT Motorcycle Training was now well established and it was time to add additional classes to our list. The request from our motorcycle class parents was to add driver education for the students.
After several years of instructing for another rider education company in the state, it was time to bring rider education to Yakima full time. The demand was immediate and classes filled completely the first year.
First Aid & CPR Training (FACT) began with a common sense approach to first aid training. Developed locally with input from working Paramedics, EMTs, Physicians, Critical Care Nurses and Emergency Department Nurses and eliminating materials we never used, it became an instant success.
In early 1987 the project to modernize and simplify first aid and CPR training began. The goal was to eliminate all the boring memorization and replace it with a common sense approach which promotes understanding NOT memorization.
The very beginning of FACT. Teaching for several companies and not happy with the curriculum, John & Holly decide to update, improve, and simplify the first aid curriculum.
