I had a great experience completing my Intermediate First Aid & CPR Level C course today! The instructor Mr. D Lafleur was knowledgeable, friendly, and very supportive. Everything was explained clearly with practical demonstrations and hands-on activities, which made the learning experience enjoyable and easy to understand. I gained valuable knowledge and confidence in handling emergency situations. Highly recommended to anyone looking to get First Aid and CPR certified. Thank you for the excellent training and experience!
