Challenging

Our students had nothing but positive things to say – it was both challenging and thorough from what they said and they seemed completely satisfied with the instruction. We will most definitely keep you on our training consultant list.

What A Learning Experience!

I didn't know what to expect from this class when i was told i was going to be coming to it. What a learning experience! I learned the correct ways to be safe in my working environment. It did not seem like 3 days of training because Suzie makes the class fun. She is very informative and makes the process easy. Her skills as an instructor are excellent.

Experienced & Knowledgeable

I have been in the medium voltage industry for over 54 years. Attending class at Cannon was an experience I have not had many years. The instructor was dedicated to her craft, and her teaching style truly showed her passion & knowledge of all trades. I am an advocate for taking safety seriously and she emphasized the importance of those values to our Public Works Department. I will be send(...)

Valuable Information

Thank you for providing us the opportunity to take the OSHA 10 class at your training center, which I might add is very well put together and you should be proud to have.

Suzie Showalter was a great instructor and really kept the class interested and involved in the class, the whole team has told me how much they enjoyed the training. Suzie has a great deal of experience and knowledge she (...)

BICSI - IN225

I took the BICSI IN225- BICSI Installer 2, Copper Training course in January 2018. Shaun S was the instructor of the class. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He had a firm knowledge of all aspects of the course. Very helpful with any questions and was able to clearly demonstrate hands on portions of the training. Very nice training facility with very good catered food for lunches. Outs(...)

Flatiron Construction | Benicia, CA.

Highest Recommendation!!!

I recently attended the 24 hour fall protection class in Fife, WA. I have been in construction for over 30 years and in safety the past 12. In that time, I have endured numerous trainings and I was expecting more of the same. I was questioning my bosses decision to have me travel from Southern California to Washington for fall prevention training. I was pleasantly surprised. Suzie and Jack pr(...)

EC ELECTRIC | Seattle, WA

Informative

Even through many years of fall protection training, I still found I had many things to learn. The class was tailored for EM 385 1-1, but I was unaware of several OSHA and WAC rules as well. Instructor Susie was a hoot and did a first rate job getting the information and materials across to the students.

I'd Fly Out Again

Hey Team Cannon, i just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity to come out and see your place and receive my training from Suzie, she was very professional and took her chance to train us very serious. Also the way all your people and staff conducted themselves professionally, very impressive. I would be glad to fly out again for any training. Thanks again

Engaging

Thank you very much for the class that James and I took last week. It was very informative, and we were able to take away plenty of new information. Suzie was an amazing teacher, she knew how to engage the class and keep everyone from falling asleep (which is hard to do in a 9 hour class). I will be sure to recommend the EM385-1-1 Fall Protection class to my cohorts.

Family-Friendly

I Just wanted to Thank You All again for the warm welcome to your company. I had a great time guest speaking to your men and women. Everyone asked very well thought out questions. They have a good safety base. Also it seems to me to be a very family-friendly company. In my travels you don’t see that very often.. I look forward to be of service to Cannon again, it was my honor to be of some he(...)

Exceptional!

I wanted to let you know the guys really enjoyed flagging class the other day.

They normally dread going to a flagging class because the information is always dry but the presenter did a great job and she exceeded their expectations.

We look forward to using your company again in the future!

WOW!

I really enjoyed your course! It was honestly one of the most valuable courses that I have taken out of all my certs. I learned more about fall protection in 24 hours, than I have in 17 years in the field. I really gained a lot of very valuable information from your course. Thank you again for everything!
