Awesome first aid training. My instructor Aurangzeb did a great job, he explained well and gave us different scenarios with the steps to first aid and cpr. Very beneficial. Thank you Aurangzeb.
It has been very beneficial to me. I have Learned plenty of things that will help me in my everyday life learning what to do when people need first aid assistance whether in workplaces. Or elsewhere learning how to properly provide first aid in many ways. The instructor has been very lucid and knowledgeable to have made every body lock in to get himself understood by trainees.
WOW!! So worth the money, time and effort!! I had David Smith aka “Smitty” as my instructor at Ottawa East and he made a content heavy 8 hour day so much more exciting, engaging and hands on!! He was very personable with tons of stories from his experiences! Would recommend this company to anyone I come across!
Had a great experience and learned a lot. David Smith is an excellent instructor that takes the time to explain and answer all of our questions and makes us feel confident about our learning.
The course was very easy to understand and learn. The instructor, Catherine, was a great teacher and made lessons very engaging with video lessons, explanations, and live demonstrations. Additionally, we were provided with all the necessary materials we needed in order to practice our newly acquired skills and abilities. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning or getting certified in cpr.
The instructor was David Smyth, he is amazing and so knowledgeable. This is the third time I do my training with Red Cross but I can tell this time was the best. Thank you
