I had no idea that learning could be so exciting. Did my blended first aid/CPR C in their port credit location. Mike was such a phenomenal teacher. The content was extremely easy to follow and he made it super comfortable for everyone in the class. I’m even motivated now to continue my learning in first aid and will be coming back in the future. Thank you Mike !!!

I attended the emergency first aid/ cpr course at 8300 woodbine, markham today. I have been to other first aid courses a few years back but never benefited like this one. The instructor Arash was very knowledgeable in the medical field and was able to explain things very detailed and in a very interesting way . I definitely recommend people to come here to complete their courses for their benefit.

Just finished the weekend course first aid cpr. Our instructor Hawley explained and presented the course very well. Sorry forgot his last name. He was also very knowledgeable about the topics he taught us. Thank you!

Food for thought- I think it would be a great help to all if you include the small first aid kit in the course for a few bucks more and maybe add aspirin in it as it saves lives.

Thanks again and great job Hawley!

My training was done on 3rd of December 2024, which was lead and done by the wonderful David Smith! I wanted to say thank you so much to David for the way he made the training fun and easy to understand; I learned more then just training. Thank you for the way you made us all feel at ease because I was very nervous to take the course thinking it was going to be stressful. David has a wonderful way of teaching his classes, making everyone feel comfortable around one another, which made the training that much more satisfying. This man is truly admirable and I hope you know this too. Thank you again so much David (Smitty!). I hope you will train me again in 3 years time!!! Last but not least, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years David, to you and your loved ones and your lovely wife.
Please relay this to David Smith! He should know he's an amazing trainer! Thank you so very much!

The Standard First Aid & CPR level C refresher I completed at 700 Industrial Avenue was absolutely excellent. I have enrolled in a large number of similar courses over the years and many have been delivered in a dry, canned, and methodical manner. This course, though, was anything but. Longtime instructor David Smith adopted the perfect blend of detailed information, humour, personal experiences, and practical application hints, and I came away feeling my day had been exceptionally well spent.

I recently attended a first aid and CPR training session at the Hamilton Fennell location with Kim as the instructor, and I had an amazing experience. Kim did a fantastic job keeping everyone engaged throughout the session, making sure we were actively involved with fun activities. She also shared relatable stories that tied in perfectly with the first aid and CPR training, making it both informative and enjoyable. Her energy and approach really helped the group stay focused and made the learning process easy to follow. I highly recommend her sessions for anyone looking for a comprehensive and interactive first aid and CPR course!

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

The teacher was amazing very interactive with us the students, by giving the lesson but also referencing with real life situations so that you could grasp the seriousness of first aid training and would make us laugh to ease the tension in the room, I am confident I know what to do as a trained first aider.

It was a strength-based learning experience and and questions or clarification needed were given with pleasure.

He is also witty, intelligent and very interesting as a person. He is warm and quite personable. I know he is retiring and I honestly feel sad for those who won’t have the chance to learn from him. Thank you for the 2 days of learning more than I thought I would

Instructor David is amazing and makes learning the material fun. He makes the most of all the material he has to teach, he involves the whole class, asks for volunteers and what I liked the most is on the second day (if you take the two day in class) if that he has a jeopardy like game that you get to practice what you learnt the previous day. This really helped for the test at the end of day two. Thank you David for a surprisingly fun two days of relearning CPR/FIRST AID.

The instructor was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He explained the concepts clearly and demonstrated the techniques effectively.

The class was intensive. The instructor knows his game very well. However, I would like to suggest, being a professional teacher myself, that intermittent short breaks would be helpful for students/participants to refresh a bit. I felt, like other students very tired at a point and some other participants expressed the same sentiments. This is a humble suggestion though.

I would highly recommend First Aid 4U for any of your First Aid training needs. I completed my Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C through First Aid 4U, a Canadian Red Cross training partner. Our instructor, Hawley, was very personable, and easy to follow. He often gave examples of real-life scenarios that he’s found himself in, or situations in which our training could play out in the real world. Our class was really interactive. I took First Aid & CPR/AED Level C many years ago, around 2010, and aside from the gap in time/evolving knowledge, I learned more about the same topics now than I did back then! Awesome work, First Aid 4U!

His personal experiences really moved me with what he has dealt with..he is straight to the point and blunt in a really good way.we laughed a lot.we learned a lot and he truly is a great instructor.i was nervous about this but with all his information ontop of the slides he made me super confident and passed with 100 percent.thanks a bunch!

I recently attended a First Aid and CPR class, and I must say it was absolutely amazing. Here are some key highlights of the class:

Expert Instructors: The class was led by highly knowledgeable and experienced instructors who knew their subject matter inside and out. They were not only experts in First Aid and CPR but also excellent teachers who made complex concepts easy to understand.

Hands-On Training: What set this class apart was the hands-on training. We didn't just hear about how to perform CPR or administer first aid; we actually practiced it on mannequins and learned the proper techniques. This practical experience was invaluable.

Comprehensive Content: The class covered a wide range of topics, from basic first aid for minor injuries to more advanced CPR techniques. I felt confident that I could respond effectively to various emergency situations after completing the course

My daughter and I just finished our first aid course with Rayani.
I just wanted to let you know that this was the best first aid course I’ve ever taken. I have taken at least six other first aid courses in the pass once from your school five or six years ago, and he is absolutely the best instructor I’ve ever had. He’s very engaging, he’s very supportive. He’s very helpful. He’s very friendly by the end of the course I felt like all the other students were my friends. He listen to our stories he supported us. He complimented us. It was not a horrible experience.
I just wanted to say thank you from myself and my daughter.

This was a very enjoyable experience for me. Our instructor made this class interesting and helpful in understanding First aid. I would recommend First Aid 4U to anyone needing First Aid. Thank you

Dave was great! He had so many personal and related examples to share that made the course unique and enjoyable. Certainly someone who lives their jobs day in and day out.

Fantastic training from Rayan Afsar! It was my second time having a class with this trainer and it was great both times. Rayan is very informative while also connecting with anecdotes and jokes to keep the class engaged. I left the class with no unanswered questions, feeling very confident in my abilities to provide care in an emergency situation.

David "Smitty" Smith is by far one of the most genuine, fun and knowledgeable people I've ever met. He made learning CPR/First Aid an empowering and an impactful course. His ability to use humour and shared experiences made the content more relatable and memorable. Thank you, Smitty! 🙂

Mageb, who taught us in Vaughan, in Apr. 2023, did a great job teaching us. Being a trained physician in his home country came through by exhibiting his professional knowledge. However, he also did it in a light, almost entertaining manner which made the educational experience less cumbersome.

Just completed a 2 day course with Smitty........ awesome experience. David is an amazing instructor and I'm so thankful for the knowledge and experiences that he shared with all of us. I hope to never use the knowledge I've gained over the last couple days but if the day does come I know what needs to be done and have to confidence to do it.

David "Smitty" Smith,
Thank you again!

Smitty is one of the best instructors I have ever interacted with. Not only was he informative, he knew how to keep us engaged and interested in all the content. I know that anytime I am needing to get any certifications, I'm going to ask if Smitty is the one teaching!

Thank You to David Smith for Todays CPR Class. He was very helpful, organised, entertaining, and very friendly. The class was very engaging because of his positive attitude and that helped me stay focused during the whole training. Please tell him I say Thank you, and to keep spreading positive energy while teaching.

Really enjoyed the course. Teacher Smitty is very experienced and shared some very good anecdotes.Wished I could have received my certificate there and then, though!

Ashraf was a great instructor who was serious yet personable in his delivery of the practical component of my blended First-Aid/CPR/AED course. I ended up needing to put my training to use just days after having completed the course and was able to act quickly and effectively to assist an injured colleague.
While the entities aren't directly related, my only complaint about the program has been the finicky/temperamental Red Cross website. Accessing certifications, course information and profile details has been - at best - annoying.

Passed my standard first aid and cpr at the Robertson rd location in Ottawa!!
Josh was an amazing teacher. He took the time to work through problems or questions the class had. He allowed us to build confidence in our abilities to save a life. He is going to make a great doctor. Thank you very much!

My instructor was phenomenal. He made me understand the philosophy of care, the practicality and that got me appreciating safety from a different perspective. I loved the story telling. It really resonates with you. Thank you for impacting my knowledge.

I have been taking first aid courses at different places in Ottawa over the past 12 years and by far First Aid 4 U is the best. The teaching technique, and the way the information is given makes the course really enjoyable. The stories and real life experience shared during the course helped me retain most of the information taught. A big thank you to Hauley who is by far the best instructor I've ever had the pleasure to meet and learn from. I will be back for sure.

David Smith is the instructor that made taking this course as enjoyable as it was. Combining techniques with real world experiences and comprehensive demonstrations really makes you understand the gravity of how helpful these practices are on the field.

Such an amazing experience. Had so much fun and learned a lot of valuable information that could help me help someone in the future. I am definitely more confident now to walk up to someone and help them. Our instructor Mr. Hawley was amazing and very helpful and we learned a lot from his past stories and experiences.

The Brampton instructor is the best. He makes learning fun and easy. If you listen to the instructor (which is his #1 rule) you will pass with flying colours. Thank you Aurangzeb you were GREAT!
My only issues are they need to invest in a Bluetooth speaker as the laptop volume isn't loud enough and a bigger tv would be nice.

An amazing experience. These instructors really know medical knowledge. I met a firefighter and a nurse through my training courses.

In class portion:
- Good instructor.
- It would be better if the TV was the appropriate size to see the presentation, or if used a projector allowing a wide screen.

Online portion:
- Well designed.
- It would be better if it provide a summary of main points for each chapter allowing the student a quick refresh about them.

The course and instructor were good. After the course was completed I’ve started to receive emails stating that they hadn’t received my payment. I contacted them, clarified that they had my payment, and received by email, a copy of the invoice indicating that it was paid in full. Since, I receive an email monthly stating I still haven’t paid, each to which I reply with the receipt, marked “paid”, attached. It is impossible to speak with a person when you call in. It goes to voicemail every time. Disorganized, and to be honest, the emails are rude, stating how it’s problematic that I haven’t paid them, and that it’s an urgent matter. If I had rated immediately after taking the course, it would have been 4-5 stars, but based on the nonsense that has followed, I just can’t. Sorry everyone….get it together.
