First of all, I am very lucky to have received first aid training there because the instructor was a wonderfully knowledgeable person, his jokes were funny and he conveyed the training in an academic way. As a Muslim, we were incredibly pleased with the Qibla direction sign he made there and the fact that he said you can pray.

Outstanding instructor, Hawley Lepine. After attending first aid courses many times over the years, this was the first time when I (and everyone else attending the course) was riveted and you could hear a pin drop when the instructor spoke. He underscored important points in the course by peppering it with vivid real life suspenseful first aid stories, and a healthy dose of humour. Students were coached closely in the practical portion of the course to ensure they were successful. for e.g. application of CPR & AED, as well as splints and slings. Highly recommend this instructor and hope he is available when I am required to take my refresher.

My First time and experience with Judy for First Aid and CPR and let me tell you. It was the most hands on, interactive and best class I have ever been to. Judy has the biggest heart and shows it in what she loves to do with heart and soul in it. She has not only taught me new skills in her class but understands every one at their own level of learning. She is one amazing person, and wears her heart on her sleeve. Thank you Judy for doing what you do and who you are. You keep reaching those stars. You show that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Your a warrior ❤️ Sudbury location
