Had a fantastic experience with instructor John Devlin. He was very engaging, hands on, informative, and extremely experienced. He was very passionate about the topics taught, challenged misconceptions about CPR-C and first aid, and related a lot of material to real life scenarios and experiences. Room was a little hot (not John's fault though), otherwise, could not have asked for a better overall experience.
