My instructor was Rana Osman. This was my 1st First Aid & CPR/AED training from a professional organization. I was greatly amazed at her patience, knowledge and the skill at which she explained, demonstrated and guided us through the hands on practical skills. I can’t wait to have another experience in other skills like Basic Life Support by Coast2Coast.
