If an issue arose, one of the staff is always quick to address the issue and resolve it to my satisfaction. I can't say enough good things.

To take standard first aid and CPR C I paid around $130 which is 30 bucks cheaper than what I saw on st. John's ambulance. Signing up for a class is super easy. You search the type of class you want and pick the location and date from what they have available. My class was supposed to be two days, but out of the 5 people that showed up only 2 of us were doing standard. So the teacher asked if we would be willing to stay late and finish it all up in one day. I mean of course! It was great to get it over and saved my Sunday. The teacher, Rita, was funny so learning the material was enjoyable! I definitely felt prepared for the test at the end. Definitely recommend if your looking to take a first aid class for the first time or update your first aid skills.

Highly recommended.

An Exceptional First Aid Training Course…read more I had an incredible experience with the first aid training, thanks to Ms. Amandeep's outstanding teaching. Her clear instructions and warm, professional demeanor made it easy to understand essential first aid skills, from proper glove handling to effective communication during emergencies and scene management. The provided comprehensive 18-chapter material was immensely helpful, and the practical knowledge I gained feels invaluable. Ending with a 30-minute test, I successfully passed and received a certificate. Huge thanks to Amandeep and the training center for equipping me with life-saving skills that benefit both my personal and professional life.

Having delivered other (non-First Aid) certification courses myself, I was very impressed with how he is able to go over a huge amount of material in a short period while keeping everyone in the course interested, engaged and entertained. Our group had a wide range of experience, both with first aid as well as general knowledge of the backcountry, but Kieran managed to ensure everyone was catered to and came away with a wealth of new skills. The attention to detail in not only setting up the scenario's but bringing everyone on-board to treat them seriously results in a fantastic learning experience. I highly recommend taking any course with Kieran and look forward to signing up to the advanced WFA.
