Maria was our instructor today for our 1st Aid course and I really appreciate her kindness and support for all of the participants. She kept us all engaged in the content and made everyone feel comfortable. It is a long day where everyone just wants to go home by the end, however she brought a diverse group of strangers together to act as a team to complete the course.

Kia is not your typical instructor he is a doctor by profession, and it shows in every single lesson. What sets him apart is that he does not just teach you how to do things; he explains the why behind every technique, giving you the kind of deep understanding that actually sticks. His medical background brings a level of insight that you simply cannot get from a standard training session.

What truly surprised me was how fast a full-day lecture flew by. Kia has an incredible way of delivering lessons engaging, energetic, and never dull for a single moment. Learning CPR and first aid could easily feel heavy or stressful, but he makes it genuinely enjoyable and even fun. You leave the room not just certified, but truly confident.

Above everything, you can feel that this man has a real heart for helping people. He does not just go through the motions he inspires you to step up, act with good intentions, and genuinely make a difference when it counts. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a first aid and CPR course that is both world-class and deeply human.

I had a fantastic experience taking my first aid course at this center. It was a very engaging and valuable learning day. The instructor, Ali, explained everything clearly, brought great humor to the class, and was incredibly patient in addressing all questions and concerns.
I learned and practiced a wide range of first aid skills, and I now feel much more confident in my ability to help others in emergency situations.
If you’re considering getting your first aid certification, I highly recommend this place!

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.
