Testimonials!
A special shout-out to our instructor, Mr. Dimithri – a fantastic, patient, and knowledgeable trainer who made the training engaging and easy to understand. His ability to connect with students from different backgrounds and explain complex scenarios in a calm, practical manner truly stood out. Thank you for your excellence and dedication!
To my EMR batchmates (July 2025) – Congratulations! 🎉
Even though we come from different professional fields – firefighters, nurses, and security personnel – we came together and built a strong, respectful, and fantastic team in just a few short days. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, and I hope our paths cross again in 3 years for recertification. Until then, stay safe and keep saving lives!
Highly recommended to anyone looking to get quality and accredited first aid or emergency responder training.

But the class was so good and full of energy that everything went really well. I was prepared for a long, boring day, but I didn’t feel tired at all!
Mr. Ali was very professional, caring, and energetic. He taught everything clearly, and we were able to answer all the questions on the final test.
The practical part was also great, he explained everything to everyone really well.
It was a great experience. It could have been a tough Sunday, but it actually turned out to be fun and not tiring at all!
