UVic Outdoors Club Wilderness First-Aid

Hi, I took a cpr-c course from instructor Ashley this September.  I am an RN and so have had to take very many first aid courses in the past.  I would like to say that I was shuffled on to your organization because the original course i was going to take was cancelled and they gave me your company name.  When I called I had a good conversation with someone who seemed very on top of things and knew how to give me directions and this person was very practical and seemed to know exactly the kind of cpr-c course I would need.  I had never had this happen before... the the person on the other end of the phone actually sounded excited about first aid and that was a first for me.  The course was easy to find and was exactly where I was told it would be with big signs out front to direct me and that was awesome.  I was not given a hard time for not doing a lot of prereading (I hardly ever do the prereading as I have reading comprehension issues and am more a kinesthetic learner).  We had this instructor named Ashley and as I work in mental health I quietly decided that she must have some low grade adhd diagnosis... I guess you would think that this would be a bad thing... but it was an awesome quality.  She made the course really a lot of fun and it was the very first cpr course where I have not fallen asleep... seriously!  I totally remember how to do cpr now and that is the first time I have taken a course and actually remembered stuff you know.  So thank you.  I will only take cpr courses from your outfit from now on.  I really think you guys got it going on.

Mike made this course fun and informative with his great sense of humour and clear instructions. No time to sleep in his class!

Both instructors were excellent - confident, capable, efficient and humorous. This is the best first aid course I've ever taken due to awesome instructors and practical content. Thank you!

"Mike was incredible at making everyone feel comfortable in the class."

Jason is a terrific instructor. I was surprised how much I learned - very enjoyable!

Always enjoy your courses, the hands on approach make the information sink in. Thank you for making it interesting and bringing humor to the class.

The course was great! I had a lot of fun and learned a lot! Very positive learning environment! Thanks Jaimie!

The instructor was terrific! Her passion & energy was highly commendable. I learned a lot in just one day!

Best first aid course I've taken in 20 years - and I've taken about 7 or 8 of them!

Jordan clearly and calmly explained all of the course content. He answered everyone's questions and shared lots of useful tips. Jordan was very professional and approachable.
