Course reviews
“It was really helpful to practice with the demo defibs and get a sense of what to expect if I ever needed to use one and helpful to have a trainer with a lot of real world experience who could give examples of possible scenarios.
Particularly appreciated the trainer talking the group through the differences in symptoms in males and females and different advice on how to approach CPR on children and infants.”
Georgia Connell-Bass, Mayden Ltd
"Our trainer was friendly, engaging and made the course content relevant to our situations in which we may be most likely to use first aid. Thank you Emma for instilling confidence in my first aid practice."
