Fantastic experience: Ed Taube is an amazing instructor who's very passionate about teaching.

Fantastic experience: Great class and awesome instructor

Fantastic experience: Had an excellent experience taking the 32-hour POSH course in November 2023. The material was well written and provided just enough useful detail into a breadth of occupational health and safety topics. I also HIGHLY recommend Ed Taube as an instructor. His positive outlook on life is inspiring, not to mention he’s a knowledgeable and passionate instructor. I have already recommend this course to my colleagues.

Fantastic experience: I took the POSH course with Ed, and it was absolutely amazing. The entire 4 days Ed made it seem like he was talking to just me and made me feel as though my input was not only welcomed, but highly valued. I will be recommending this program and The Arizona Chapter to all of my colleagues! Make sure you ask Ed for some broccoli while you take the course!

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience. Ed Taube was my instructor and he was delightful. So informative and such a fun person. 15/10. I am thankful to have been apart of the class.

Fantastic experience: Ed and Carl are great instructors! Carl did my 2 day training and Ed did my new curriculum training.

Fantastic experience: Ed Taube is a first-class master instructor. Warm, inviting, and humble man who fosters a “want-to-learn” environment. ACNSC and it’s clients are fortunate to have Ed on faculty. Eat your broccoli, Ed, it’s “almost good” for you. ~All my best to you and family. ~Tim @ Shimmick Construction.

Fantastic experience: To be honest, I don't particularly like "classroom " education. I truly enjoy hands-on learning. However, the curriculum and Ed Taube's passion for safety, life, and passing of knowledge, this class was fantastic! Not only did we learn the standards and information, we were instructed on how to, we'll, instruct! Well done! Thank you for everything!

Fantastic experience: Attitudinal Dynamics of Driving 5th Edition update facilitated by Ed Taube. Ed’s facilitation skills are second to none. He was able to engage participants which created a positive learning environment. Training was thorough, complete and accurate. The ACNSC has always been a outstanding organization.

Fantastic experience: Wow!!! Ed was incredible. Lots of energy and a great SME. Ed is very passionate about this course and it shows. Ed was the first person I met because he came outside to greet me as I was getting out of my car. On that note I’ll drop the mic

Fantastic experience: I attended the NSC Traffic Survival ADD Training this past weekend. Going in, not knowing anyone, anxiety was at its max! Ed, the instructor, welcomed me with his positive "we are going to have fun" persona. You can tell Ed is passionate about what he does, how he teaches, and he sincerely wants everyone who comes across his path to succeed! I left that class with more knowledge, team mates, and most importantly, more confidence! Everything you need to know, is right in front of you!

Fantastic experience: I attended the TSS instructor training at this location and was blown away. ED was my instructor and ive never taken any course that was verbally related so well and with so much passion for the topic. He roped me in, if you have a chance to sit in on one of these classes i would highly reccomend you do so!

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Ed was the instructor and did an awesome job relaying the information and giving us his knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Month of July 2023- Ed just blew my mind on how great of an instructor he was. My class for first aid instructor was mind opening. Ed gave me and the class the ability to be great instructors and really engaged us. The entire class was made of poised adults who were easy to work with and we encouraged each other. It was so nice not to hear crickets when we are asked to read or answer questions. I can't say enough good things about the class, instructors, and all the staff that work there. If you care about safety, take a class here, it is worth your time and money. Month of May 2023-Kelly is a fantastic instructor. If you get a class with her consider yourself lucky! The program is great and I am thankful that my company let me come here. I learned so much during my flagger training. Now I can teach others. Thanks for the support from all the staff. You are all wonderful!

Fantastic experience: Thank you for the information you shared. Would like to attend more training for instructor Ed. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Great class! Ed was a great instructor & made the class very enjoyable and educational. Thank you for your help & your commitment to safe driving! Highly recommend this class to anyone who needs it or is even just interested in keeping our roads safe!

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of attending the 3 day CPR/First Aid/AED instructor class with Ed. I took away so much from this class and was definitely the best training I have attended in years. Ed has a natural talent as an instructor, and really knows how to connect with and motivate the class. He has a true passion for what he does and is a master of his craft. Thank you ACNSC for such a valuable learning experience. It will definitely help me perform impactful training for both CPR/First Aid, as well as help improve other training courses I perform in the construction industry.

Fantastic experience: I have known Ed for years for years for his fantastic photography skills but after taking the CPR class this week, I learned more about Ed's other talents and his fantastic way to communicate and teach. CPR is something everyone should know how to do to help others in need. The class was not only educational but how Ed presented it made it a really fun experience for me and my girlfriend. I recommend this training and Ed as a highly qualified trainer.

Fantastic experience: Recently received FA/CPR/AED/BLS Instructor training through ACNSC, it was a great training! Ed was amazing in teaching the course and making the course interactive. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Vanessa was welcoming and kind. I had scheduled somewhere else and glad I didn’t stay. Glad I found this place instead. I was comfortable and it was a clean and nice place and Vanessa was a great instructor. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Instructor Ed is a very talented, experienced and very professional person I have seen. I really loved his way of teaching and the motivation he give us to continue accomplishing our goal. I can really say that he is truly not only an experienced instructor but a very good person who really likes to help and motivates people to do so. Thank you so much I am very glad that you were the one teaching me and motivating me to continue progressing and learning. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Thanks Mr Ken Cada

Fantastic experience: I took a First Aid, CPR and AED class with Kelly. She was a great instructor and what a great learning experience she gave to the class. I strongley recommend taking this class with NSC.

Fantastic experience: Took the CPR & First Aid Instructor Trainer course with Ed. Ed is an amazing instructor and has a natural talent for teaching! He is extremely passionate about the subject matter and knows how to inspire and motivate a class. It was an excellent experience and a great course. I highly recommend the class and choosing Ed as your instructor if you have an option.

Fantastic experience: Ed Taube was an awesome instructor. I took the CPR first aid AED class and Ed was VERY knowledgeable on the subject matter. We had a good mix of students in our class and Ed did an amazing job keeping everyone's attention. He also provided insight and explained himself very well. Great training establishment. There is a reason people came from all over to take this class here.

Fantastic experience: Amazing class Ed is a great instructor. come here if you’d like to learn good CPR

Fantastic experience: Ed is an AMAZING instructor!!!

Fantastic experience: Took a class with Kelly. She was a great instructor and had a lot of insight on the material. I really feel that everyone should have some idea of what to do in case of emergency and this course is a great place to start. Good job (5 stars)

Fantastic experience: Great experience and was able to take a lot back to my workplace.

Fantastic experience: I attended the POSH course in Albuquerque on 11/29/22. It was a great course! The instructor, Ed Taube, was very engaging and very knowledgeable. A bonus is he brings lots of chocolate and donuts!!!!

Fantastic experience: I had recently completed the First Aid/CPR Instructor Course and the Principles Occupational Safety and Health course, both with Ed Taube. Overall Mr. Taube is a great instructor, with a lot of relatable knowledge to both courses I attended. The material that NSC provided for us it's very useful and can be adapted in multiple occupations. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: National Safety Council has really well trained instructors. I definitely recommend sending your employees to their trainings and yourself. They can teach you to be instructors in First Aid/CPR and Defensive Driving which has been really helpful having instructors at our organization. ED Taube is the best instructor I've ever had!

Fantastic experience: Loved the training. Ed is great!

Fantastic experience: Ed is an inspiring teacher and course facilitator. I came away with more knowledge and proficiency for training First Aid and CPR. I highly recommend the Instructor Development course.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Ed Taube made the class fun and enjoyable

Fantastic experience: I completed the Principles of Occupational Safety and Health class and it opened my eyes to a lot of items. The class was for four days and 8 hours per day, but Ed kept the class interesting and upbeat. I am definitely glad I attended this course and have more training scheduled for the future. Thanks for the great class Ed.

Fantastic experience: Ed was a great instructor! I chose NSC due to having him before as an instructor for CPR/FA instructor course. Best experience ever in a training course!!

Fantastic experience: Attended the First Aid instructor course Aug 2 thru Aug 4, 2022. Outstanding instructor! Ed Taube did a great job through the entirety of the course. His high energy and motivation to certify us as instructors was obvious from the start. The material he presented was up to date and he focused on not only the content but how to present it with purpose in mind. In addition, the office staff was extremely helpful and extended themselves as a resource at anytime. The competence, professionalism and positive attitude of Ed and his staff no doubt is the reason the AZNSC chapter is so successful. I definitely recommend taking courses with them and First Aid is not the only course they offer. Check out their website and continued success to Ed and the gang at AZNSC.

Negative experience: Poor customer service.

Fantastic experience: Ed was a fantastic instructor! Very lively and informative. This class was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to whom ever is in need of any type of safety courses!

Fantastic experience: I had a very positive and professional experience at ACNSC. Learning to be a CPR, First Aid and AED trainer can be a long 3 days if done poorly, and I was lucky enough to draw Ed Taube as the instructor for both the core course, and the Instructor course. The environment he created was welcoming, diverse, informative, useful, relevant and engaging. I not only learned the course description, but how to lead and educate a room of people. Ed is a consummate professional from whom I would want to learn from again. The rooms were clean, bathrooms clean, and overall a nice safe side of town, too.

Fantastic experience: Took this class for annual 2 year renewal of first aid and CPR. Ed was the teacher. Very well presented and effective for practical applications.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed CPR, First Aid and AED instructor training with Ed and it was a very valuable training. Ed is engaging and personable and his passion for the subject matter he is teaching is obvious. Training days can be long, but he kept us engaged, interested and challenged. The classroom environment was relaxed yet professional and inclusive. I feel confident in my ability to deliver this information to others after completing this training.

Fantastic experience: Ed Taube is simply amazing! By far the best course I have taken. Inspiring, motivational, and encouraging. I feel prepared to teach and motivated to spread awareness and knowledge. Thanks Ed

Fantastic experience: My instructor was Ed, he was amazing and full of energy. I highly recommend taking a training from him . He made learning fun and interesting. I have never had a training this positive and enlightening before.

Fantastic experience: Istructor Ed was great took the evening class the time went by quickly. Super engaged and informative

Fantastic experience: Ed was an amazing trainer, his passion is contagious, the training was insightful, I left feeling confident in my ability to instruct TSS- ADD.

Fantastic experience: I just completed my NSC/TS-ADD Instructor Training with Ed Taube and am now even more excited to begin my journey as a TSS Instructor. Ed is one of those people who were born to teach and encourage. His passion for traffic safety, his enthusiasm for the class, his knowledge of the material (and statutes, etc.), and above all, his "people skills" made this class an absolute delight. While adhering to the schedule and to the topic(s), Ed also made each of us feel valued, knowledgable, and capable, whether role-playing or not. Finding this combination in an instructor is rare in a day and age where the often impersonal approach of technology and "Let's get this over with." prevails. (...And I know, because I have been an educator myself for the better part of 40 years!) Any qualms I had about my ability to be an NSC/TSS Instructor were quelled after going through this course. The content was accessible, helpful insight/hints were provided, and our concerns/mis-steps were addressed with grace. My only comments in the realm of "needs improvement" would be in regard to the curriculum itself, which I also observed during the prerequisite online courses: many of the videos and visuals are outdated and/or of poor quality. The Instructor's Manual is well-scripted, which in-and-of itself is not a "bad" thing; however, it becomes a bit clunky coordinating it w/ the actual Course Guide (even w/ the B & W copies of those pages in the Manual). Thankfully, students shared/brainstormed, and Ed relayed a few suggestions for coordinating and planning for instruction., while also mentioning that an update is currently in the works for the curriculum and visuals. All-in-all, I highly recommend this experience, especially if Ed Taube is the instructor: You will leave those two days of training with a sense of empowerment and purpose! [And you'll also probably drive a little slower and more safely, too! :-D]

Fantastic experience: I recently attended an instructor course through ACNSC. They were professional, well prepared, knowledgeable, and friendly. Needless to say, I would highly recommend ACNSC!

Fantastic experience: The NSC FA/CPR/AED instructors course was the best training I had attended in a very long time. The instructor, Ed, was amazing. He conducted the class in a very professional manner, while making it fun and engaging. I learned so much about the course and how to provide an effective training on the subject matter. I highly recommend anyone who is wanting to be a FA/CPR instructor to look into the NSC. The people I have spoken to at NSC genuinely care about how they provide training and how you, as an instructor, will provide training. Thank you Ed and Jennifer, you're both amazing.

Fantastic experience: I recommend NSC for your training needs. Ms. Talerico is a great teacher. Very thorough and very knowledgeable in a variety of topics. She keeps your attention throughout the whole course.

Fantastic experience: This is a class act orgization. Jennifer has been super supportive getting all of our training credentials up to date. Recently I took one of Ed's train the trainer classes and it was the best TTT classes I have ever attended. I am a certified trainer in several different safety trainings and Ed was able to teach me more than I ever expected. Thank you guys for all you do there is no doubt in my mind that the training you provide is saving lives.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed instructor level course with Ed Taube. Ed is extremely professional, engaging and knowledgeable. Ed is one of those rare instructors that not only knows the content of what is being presented intimately, but is engaging and just a pleasure to be in a classroom with. The course content provided by NSC is very well created and intelligent, and presented in a very intuitive manner. The training center was very clean and comfortable and very conducive to creating a great learning environment and experience.

Fantastic experience: Very good course! Excellent instructor that put in the energy and effort to make it engaging and worthwhile.

Fantastic experience: It was an honor to get my Instructor CPR, AED and first aid certification from AZ NSC instructed by Ed. From day one, Ed exhibited how a great instructor should conduct himself to be an EFFECTIVE instructor. Arizona National Safety Council is fortunate to have Ed on their team.

Fantastic experience: Ed is amazing! He makes the content stick and truly cares for his students

Fantastic experience: Attended the Principles of Occupational Safety & Health training. Ed and Kelly's teaching style keeps the participants engaged. I recommend this course to anyone new in the Safety field.

Negative experience: 2022302 April Parent made the class super difficult. I have attend trainings at National Safety Council but this is the first time I have been talk down to and spoken yo like a child. I was told I couldn't lean my head against the wall and I couldn't look down... I literally had to ask the instructor to stop singling me out. She forced people to read and forced people to write what she said in the books and forced people to answer questions that she approved of in a everyone had to answer situation. We could definitely not be honest nor comfortable. We had lunch but no other breaks. She made the only black guy in the class leave his phone at her desk when he asked to use the bathroom but nobody else. I understand that the class is part of a punishment but there should be an opportunity to learn not just be talked at and talked down to. Everyone there is paying for the privilege and deserves common Courtesy and Respect. I have experienced much better from AZNSC

Fantastic experience: My experience attending, the course was life changing, Ed it's an amazing person, knowledgeable and caring, I learn so much not only the technicalities to teach the class, but made me realize, my responsibility as a driver to keep everyone safe including myself for the people I care the most, the materials are clear easy to understand.

Negative experience: This is the worst place I ever seen in my life.
