Ottawa Lice Squad
Ashraf was amazing!! Highly recommend taking the first aid and cpr course level c with him.
Aisha Cisman
Ms. Saika was the instructor who was teaching the course, which I am very grateful for. Do to the fact she explained everything step by step and stop if you didn't understand it 100%. Which helped me understand it more making me feel more confident as well as comfortable to help in any emergency situations with the skills I have learned.
Sasha Ross
Ali was an incredible instructor at Toronto Midtown! Great company to work with
Sandra Onwuzor
Saika was an amazing instructor. She took the time to explain everything in detail, making the training clear and easy to understand. I learned essential first aid skills such as CPR, treating wounds, handling choking incidents, and responding to emergencies with confidence. PS: she made me redo the practicals for a choking baby till I got it right 😁 Overall, she is an excellent trainer for first aid, and I would highly recommend her.

Hy,

"This is a scammer company. They did some outreach work for me in June, but due to a website issue, the links were removed. I sent them over 100+ sites for replacement, but none suited them. Instead of working with me, they filed a case with PayPal, got my PayPal blocked, and had the payment refunded. Be cautious when dealing with this company; they're scammers."

My daughter just finished this course with Instructor Kia and she thoroughly enjoyed being taught by him. He breaks down each section clearly and makes sure the class understood it before moving on. He gave good corrections during CPR practice to ensure you're doing it right and 4 hours flew by! Highly recommended!
