"I really enjoyed this course, as I have taken many first aid training courses across Canada, this has been one of the best. I felt very informed and enjoyed their in-depth training. They have paired their hands on field experience with the course material perfectly. I haven’t left a first aid course more prepared as I am now. Thank you."
