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.Huda

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.
