This course includes initial assessment, disease prevention, secondary survey, airway obstruction, and adult CPR (Level A). This course will also cover recognition and first-aid treatment for head and spine injuries, shock, bleeding, seizures and broken bones.

    "Great presenter, his humour made the weekend run really smoothly, as well as his personal experiences."

    Michael Geselbracht Wilderness and Remote First-Aid, Gabriola Island, B.C. More Testimonials

    I felt Nathan made the class fun, kept our attention and took time to explain when someone didn’t understand. The class covered all basic emerg. procedures but didn’t overwhelm. 

    Amber Layton Standard First Aid, Victoria, BC More Testimonials

    Really enjoyed the course; fun, funny, informative instructor & class atmosphere. Refreshments were a nice touch. Will definitely recommend course! (Much better than St. John’s Ambulance).

    Megan Drolet Standard First Aid, Victoria, BC More Testimonials

    I have done first aid courses a couple of times over the years, and this one was the best! Nice balance between teaching and hands-on scenarios, and an excellent instructor.

    Great program and an even better instructor. Nathan is very gifted as an instructor: patient, clear & concise. 

    Roxanne Miszkiel Standard 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.
