Walaa was my instructor for the EFA CPRC &AED training in Mississauga. One of the best teachers I’ve had for this course. She made the material easy to digest, didn’t rush anything, her communication skills are on point even when asked questions she was able to respond and get back to the topic with minimal delay. The practical section was very comfortable. I’ve had many instructors expect the class to deliver the material or call on people constantly even when they didn’t feel comfortable while they just sat there agreeing or disagreeing which can be very overwhelming and daunting for your first time. Walaa went over everything you go over in the online section with wonderful real life examples that help you to better understand how and why you’re helping people. If I could select my instructor every 3 years I would choose her again for sure!

I had a great experience with my CPR instructor, Nida Farooqui. She explained everything clearly and made sure everyone understood each step before moving on. The training was very hands-on, which helped me feel more confident in performing CPR in real-life situations. Nida was patient, approachable, and encouraged questions, creating a comfortable learning environment. I especially appreciated how she focused on both proper technique and real-world scenarios. Overall, it was an informative and well-organized class, and I feel much more prepared because of it.
