Elizabeth Nicol Emergency First Aid, Victoria BC More Testimonials

"Great course! I didn't think I would learn this much in only three hours. Chris was excellent and was very thorough with all of the key points that we need to know in case of an emergency. Hopefully I won't need to use what I've learned, but if I do I'll be prepared! Thanks so much!!"
