WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

"I have never taken a CPR course before but this was so easy that I wish I would have done it sooner! Great course, great time, great skills!"

" Gail's class was super awesome. We learned some of the very important things one needs to know in a very fun and comfortable environment. I would definitely recommend it to a friend."

"I was very impressed with the overall blended program. And very importantly, our on site instructor, Jennifer, was excellent. Her knowledge went beyond the basics of the program. She had many personal experiences to draw from, bringing vivid colour and reality to many of the emergency situations and the ability to add practical tips. On top of that she was personable and easily adapted to the style of the group which included a lot of laughter and creativity despite the senior ages of many of the participants."

"Before taking this course, I thought that the content was going to be very complicated but Michel was a great teacher and made things easy to understand."

"My training came in handy 2 weeks after I completed this course. My son started choking, he turned blue and passed out. I am happy that I knew what to do!"

I just recently finished my second course through national capital first aid this past weekend and can’t say enough good things about it! I was lucky enough to have Gail as my instructor both times and she is absolutely amazing! She covers the course content so well and thoroughly explains all hands on skills. This course has made me feel very confident in learning all of this content and skills and makes me feel so well prepared! I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to learn first aid or CPR. They also did an amazing job on making us feel safe regarding covid-19 with all social distancing measures and precautions in place!

"Great course. Very informative with real life experiences and a lot of hands on. Christiane, my instructor, was very knowledgeable, friendly and with lots of experience. Highly recommended."

" We had Paula teach the First Aid for Parents class last night. She did a great job and was so helpful with answering questions. We were a group of home daycare providers and new parents. A great course for anyone dealing with little ones, and a great refresher for people that have taken a complete first aid course."

"I am very happy with my experience with this company and especially with the Instructor Janice Scott . She was more than accomodating to my daughter and went above and beyond to help her. Janice is an amazing teacher who's understanding and caring to all of her students. This company is very lucky to have her on board. I would highly recommend Janice and this compnay to all. Thanks Anonymous Standard First Aid and CPR This was honestly the best course I have ever taken. I usually fall asleep and have issues staying attentive but I was interested the entire time.

Just finished the First Aid Course for Parents and “Grandparents” (love this) with Jennifer. I would say there was a 50/50 split between parents & grandparents. Can’t say enough great things about this course!! Excellent communications through emails prior to the course with all the info required. Super organized! What I loved about this course was there was a clear focus on all elements of First Aid & CPR that are so applicable to real life situations. Jennifer did an amazing job at presenting the material in a direct way, making it easy to remember, and giving super examples. I loved how she quickly through out questions and repeated a procedure so it stuck in our heads. With Jennifer’s super dynamic personality she presented all the material in a timely and captivating manner. Jennifer found a way to make the course fun, which resulted in a super interactive class, and answered every question clearly. Best course I have taken in a long time and I learned so much in a very positive setting. Highly recommend all Parents & Grandparents take this A++ course!

This course was really informative and was a very abbreviated version, which I very much appreciated! Jen the instructor was amazing! She is definitely made to deliver this course! Her great sense of humour helps lighten the mood with heavy topics, plus she has an abundance of personal life experiences that reflect her in depth knowledge.
