I recently completed the hybrid online and in-person Standard First Aid and CPR C course, and it was excellent from start to finish. The registration process was smooth and straightforward, and the online learning platform was easy to navigate and well organized.

The in-person portion of the course was equally well run. Our instructor, Azra, was clear, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout the training. She demonstrated each skill thoroughly and provided helpful guidance while we practiced. I especially appreciated how she explained the rationale behind the care being provided, which made it much easier to understand and remember the steps.

Overall, it was a very well-structured course that balanced online learning with hands-on practice effectively. I would highly recommend this course to anyone needing Standard First Aid and CPR training.

I recently completed the Emergency First Aid/CPR training at this location, and it was a really engaging and enjoyable experience. Our instructor, Joseph, explained complex procedures—like using a tourniquet and placing someone in the recovery position—in a way that was easy to understand. He kept the class interesting by sharing personal experiences and giving us real life situations to act out. I’m really glad we had him as our instructor—he made the 8-hour training feel like it flew by.
Highly recommend this training to anyone, it is such an important skill everyone should have.
Thanks again to Joseph for making it such a great experience.
