I really enjoyed the course session. The instructor Mick was very engaging and explained everything. He was always willing to answer any questions and walked us through each procedure step by step allowing us to practice so we have a better understanding of first aid. I fully understand first aid and have an understanding of how to save a life because of this training. 100% would recommend.
