My instructor was Ali S, he is hands down the best instructor I've ever had over the years of many other instructors. He definitely has a passion for what he does & genuinely wants everyone to succeed and feel confident about First Aid & CPR. He's very intelligent and personal, and shares his knowledge & life experiences, which I loved. He has a good sense or humor & positive attitude throughout the whole course, which makes everything so much better ( a lot of instructors are very "dry" or "no emotion" when they speak). I felt way more confident than ever about what I learned today in his class and have a better understanding of how to give the proper First Aid & CPR in any emergency. Thank you Ali for sharing your passion with us all, you are very inspiring and made us all better learners/First Aiders.
