Real feedback from students who’ve taken our training into the field, the workplace, and real emergency situations.

Practical Experience

Took the NOLS WFA training through ReadySF - they were quick to respond when booking and provided us with feedback from previous courses so it made the experience enjoyable. The trainers were phenomenal, they kept us engaged over the two days and gave us great real life examples/practical situations. Would recommend!

Taught both in English and Spanish

Ready SF had great communication overall. They were very responsive when I reached out.The instructor (Daniel) is very knowledgeable and engaging. His calm demeanor illustrates how we should be during a true emergency.

Exceptional Training

We had Ready SF come and train over 150+ teachers at our school this year and Maya was honestly the best trainer we've ever had. So many teachers came to tell me the same thing- the course was engaging, practical and extraordinarily high quality.

Wilderness First Responder

I had the pleasure of attending the NOLS / Ready SF Wilderness First Responder training led by Dave in March '22, and it was literally one of the most impactful learning experiences of my life. Dave has so much experience and tribal knowledge that compliments the core curriculum, and the hands-on scenarios designed by Dave were extremely effective in learning...

Lively Instruction

I did my NOLS WFR recertification with Ready SF, and it was great. One of the better recerts I've taken in my 15ish years of maintaining a WFR certification. The instructors, Megan and Jennifer, led a solid, lively course, and the location on the Marin Headlands was hard to beat.

Real-World Insights

David hosted a CPR training class for our open water swim club in San Francisco. He was thorough with sending a pre-read (a series of tutorial videos to watch before the class) as well as very patient and knowledgeable in terms of handling Q&A from the audience. During the class, we all had the opportunity to practice CPR compressions...
