Scott's First Responder Recert absolutely exceeded my expectations. I am a relatively new Athletic Therapist who was looking for my first recert and didn't know what to expect from a recert that wasn't led by an athletic therapist. Scott was able to make the class engaging, was able to challenge each of us individually based on our strengths and weakness, helped me learn to really "own" the leadership role in responding, and brought along a strong sense of humour that kept me engaged. Scott was able to provide extra advice from having worked in the field and was able to help me refine specific techniques such as D.I.Y Tourniquets. Scott has a passion for helping to produce competent responders and it shows through his work, preparation, and adaptability. Highly Recommend!

I've had 2 courses at this location – one with Ali and one with Kia – with both courses being very in-depth and informative, while still being very fun and engaging over several hours thanks to the instructors being both knowledgeable and entertaining with their presentation styles. Highly recommended.

FYI – Each course ends with an online test, so make sure you have a phone and remember the information you used to sign up for the course to avoid being locked out.

Ezz was great! He was a top notch instructor despite having hip pain. Made the course enjoyable, engaging, and left us very good nuggets of information that I will always remember. My only feedback for this program is not with the instructor, but with the company. I wanted to cancel a class that I had booked with three weeks notice and was told I would be charged $35. I think that policy makes sense with a last minute cancelation but not within a three week notice.
Something to consider to ensure customer satisfaction.

Her teaching style made the class comfortable and engaging, and I felt confident learning important lifesaving skills. I really appreciate the effort she put into helping us learn. I highly recommend Rana as an instructor for anyone taking a First Aid and CPR course.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review.
