Only choose if you just want the knowledge for yourself and do not see it as a job certification.

They also offer customized kits with customized logos. Staff is professional and knowledgeable. I was always able to have my questions answered and followed up on. 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. I always highly recommend them to all my friends and family.

This review is from June 2023! I registered online for the "Emergency First-Aid and CPR Level C -…read moreVancouver BC course. " The course is offered in 2 different formats: hybrid, and in person. I learn better in-person so I signed up for the 1-day course that ran from 8:30am - 5:00pm. We covered a LOT of material and the instructor went really fast! I'm a native English speaker and I thought, wow, this is hard for me to keep up so I can only imagine how this would be for a learner where English was not their first language. Just warning you! I bet it's because the instructor had a LOT of content to cover so I guess I don't blame them. The class is mostly lecture style with a few hands-on components. For example, for the CPR part, we worked with a partner and practiced on a dummy. At the end, you have to take a written quiz. If you pass, you are handed a certificate and you can take it home the same day! I think it's a convenient location too because it's about a 10 minute walk away from the sky train station. So, lots of things to consider. I would recommend it if you need a certificate in a short amount of time. Overall the whole process was super quick!

Since the…read morecompany advertises its classes are taught by healthcare professionals, I was expecting material or at least examples more relevant to healthcare to be used. However the class was pretty uninformative and the "game show" format used for the first aid section was a bit frustrating as more time was spent on deciding whether a team was entitled to points than actually covering the material. Overall, an acceptable course but I learned much more from my course with Alert First Aid.

I was physical education teacher in China for 23 years so I have knowledge in this area. But it is Mandarin. I struggled for two weeks with on line part of the course. I was hoping the class would just be practical skills. No more tests. No one in the class spoke Mandarin. Teacher Joyce was Chinese but born in Canada. What can I say about Joyce; Patient, kind, considerate, encouraging, listening, I think is best teacher I ever knew. I am sure Jesus loves her too

Signing up for the Wilderness First Aid course I was excited to learn some new skills, but ended up…read moreabsolutely blown away by the course given by Kieran. 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.

Not a great experience with this company. I've taken a lot of first aid classes in the past and I…read morewouldn't go with this company again. The instructor clearly didn't want to be there and rushed us all through the class, to the point that we finished hours early. In every class I've taken in the past, even though it's a repeat, I always leave feeling like I learned at least one new thing. I left this class having learned nothing. In fact, I felt lost at times. There were others in the class with less experience than me who were clearly completely lost. If I got nothing out of the class, I can't imagine how they felt. Sure, we all got our certificate, but if you learn nothing, then what's the point? What added to the confusion was the fact that it was a huge group of people, all taking different levels of the course. It caused huge confusion and no one really knew what was going on. To add to that issue, there were clearly people in the class who should not have been there due to a lack of knowledge & experience. Not only did the instructor rush us, but she was also giving incorrect info at times. I don't care what you do in your daily work life, I came to learn the actual correct way to do things. The facility itself is not nice either. There are hardwood floors, which make crawling around and doing activities on the floor very painful after a while. We were grudgingly (seriously, the instructor told us that people who use mats are losers) offered mats, but when I saw how old and dirty they were, I chose pain instead. The area to work in was very small and the class was way over-crowded. We were all bumping in to each other. There's one bathroom for about 20 people. Yep. The cost of the courses here are slightly higher than in other places and they still don't include the cost of the book/manual for the course. You have to pay extra for that. Overall, I wouldn't take a course with these people again.
