The instructor- Mohammed Ezz was wonderful & very knowledgeable. Brought in lots of his own knowledge from the medical field & was able to answer all questions, give hands on instruction, & encourage everyone along the way. I have taken first aid continuously for almost 20 years & this was definitely one of my favourites. Definitely recommend!
