I had an excellent experience with this first aid course. The instructor Kia was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way. The hands-on practice gave me confidence in using the skills in real-life situations. The course was well organized, interactive, and covered all the essential topics without feeling overwhelming. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to learn or refresh their first aid and CPR skills.

Today I completed the practical portion of my First Aid training with instructor Scott Faichnie, and I want to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for him as a teacher. This wasn’t my first First Aid course, but it’s the first time I’ve walked away feeling this confident in my skills. Scott explained everything so clearly, breaking each topic down in a way that was easy to understand and remember. He also managed to make eight hours of training genuinely engaging and enjoyable instead of something to simply get through. Thank you for creating such a positive learning environment and for giving me the confidence to actually use these skills if I ever need to.
