The course provided me with good basic skills that I can use both in my private life and at work.
First aid is an important skill that can potentially save someone’s life. This course allows you to learn those skills.
Every person should know the basics. I think they are part of general knowledge. The highly competent instructor had field experience as well, which was a big plus.
Provides good basic knowledge that allows you to approach a situation that requires first aid and assess your own ability to help in first aid situations.
