There is a reason I got this score at BLS Training today and it was because it has been the most informative, interactive, real life situational and memorable training I’ve ever experienced in my 9 years of needing BLS training. Walaa was an amazing instructor who not only knew her stuff but was very passionate about what she was teaching which made it more engaging to learn. I left feeling more prepared than ever before. Thanks Walaa! I hope I don’t have to use any of the training but should I need to I feel more confident in what to do all thanks to you!

Did my first BLS certification here with the instructor, Hetal Patel. She was fantastic and covered everything we needed to know without reading the textbook prior. Loved how she engaged the class and kept us focused throughout this 4-hour class. Well-blended theoretical knowledge and practice. Passed the exam with one stroke. The atmosphere of the class was also great, collaborative and professional. Loved it, thank you!

had a great experience as a student in JOYAL’s first aid course. He is a very knowledgeable and supportive instructor who explains everything clearly and patiently. He made the class engaging and easy to follow, even for beginners.

JOYAL encouraged questions and ensured that every student understood the techniques properly through hands-on practice. His friendly and professional approach created a comfortable learning environment.

I feel much more confident in my first aid skills thanks to his teaching. Highly recommend JOYAL as an instructor—definitely a 5-star experience!

I had a very positive experience with my instructor. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely committed to helping students succeed. One thing I really appreciated was his ability to explain complex topics in a clear and simple way, making it easier to understand and apply what we learned.

He created a supportive and respectful learning environment where questions were encouraged, and everyone felt comfortable participating. His teaching style is engaging, and he often used real-life examples that made the lessons more practical and meaningful.

I also admired his professionalism and organization. He is always prepared, provided clear instructions, and gave helpful feedback that helped me improve. Overall, this instructor (JOYAL) made the learning experience enjoyable and motivating, and I feel more confident in my skills because of his guidance.

My instructor, Ashraf, was fantastic! He was friendly and fun, while also being very thorough in his explanations, but didn’t go into unnecessary detail - a hard balance to strike! I took Standard First Aid with CPR/AED. There was an online self-directed portion, and then an in-person portion with Ashraf. The in-person portion was very hands-on, with the majority of the day spent in skills practice and simulation. I would definitely recommend this trainer and facility to anyone looking for First Aid training!
