The First Aid, AED, and CPR training was a great experience. I really liked the combination of the online coursework and the in-person portion. I completed the in-person training one-on-one with a virtual instructor, which made the process convenient while still giving me the opportunity to practice and demonstrate what I learned. The instructor was clear, patient, and helpful throughout the training. Overall, the training was informative, easy to follow, and gave me confidence in knowing how to respond in an emergency. I would definitely recommend training to anyone needing First Aid, AED, and CPR certification.
