    Jean Stankov Standard First Aid, Victoria, BC More Testimonials

    I sincerely appreciated Andrea’s calm clear direction. Being an older student taking classes like this can be somewhat overwhelming with volumes of info in such a short time, but the format and presentation made the experience +++ positive. Thank you.

    I thought this course was great! It was educational, but at the same time I had a lot of fun and felt very engaged.

    Sophie Henderson Emergency Childcare First Aid, Victoria, BC More Testimonials

    I came and got the manual beforehand so I could pre-read. I found this helpful as I had some context and knowledge before the information was delivered. Nathan was a great instructor. Would take a course from him again.
