I had a great experience taking the Standard First Aid and CPR course. I learned a lot of valuable knowledge that I had never known before. John is one of the best instructors I have ever had. He is funny, knowledgeable, and responsible, and he makes everything easy to understand and remember. His teaching style is excellent, and I really enjoyed the course.
