The first aid training was a great experience and very informative. The instructors explained everything clearly and made the lessons engaging with hands on activities and real life scenarios. I learned important skills such as CPR, how to respond to emergencies, and how to provide basic first aid safely and confidently. The training was well organized, and I now feel much more prepared to help someone in an emergency. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone because the skills learned are valuable and could make a real difference in someone's life.

I had an excellent experience with Dimitri as our First Aid and CPR instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way. What really made the class enjoyable was his sense of humor—he made us laugh while learning, so there was never a dull moment. The hands-on training was engaging, and I left the course feeling much more confident in my first aid and CPR skills. Thank you, Dimitri, for making the class both educational and fun. I highly recommend him to anyone taking a First Aid and CPR course!
