Joshua SheaPrivate Blended Standard First Aid and CPR

Jen came out and give a great first aid course! All COVID protocols were followed and my staff left the course very well informed. They have amazing communication prior to the program.

Steph OliveiraPrivate First Aid for Parents

My family and I couldn't be happier with the infant course and Jen's profesionalism. We have a preemie baby with some breathing concerns and everyone in my family feels much more confident that they can help our little man if an emergency were to occur. Very informative and simple enough for my 12 yr old niece and 70 yr old father-in-law to follow. All COVID protocols were followed.
Thanks again, Jen!

Rachel FishPublic First Aid Course Ottawa

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!

Shanie MohammedPublic First Aid Course Ottawa

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

Anne StewartStandard First Aid and CPR

Rob Samulack RN was my course instructor-I've been a nurse for many years so I have a lot of CPR courses under my belt. I thought you ( Rob) did an excellent job, used very effective techniques for both the theory and psychomotor skills, and I left with a greater understanding and sense of mastery. However your career progresses I hope it includes an element of teaching.

Krista KilreaPrivate First Aid for Parents

Recently took a CPR and first aid course through National Capital First Aid. It was wonderfully done - we organized a private class of new mamas, pregnant mamas, new dads, dads-to-be, and new grandparents. The instructor Jennifer came to us and did the course in a backyard with all COVID protocols in place. Very well executed and the course content was perfect - focused on infant and child injuries. 5 stars for the company and for Jennifer as an instructor!

Excellent instruction. Rob was thoughtful, diligent and engaging in his provision of first aid training.

Veronique LaportePrivate First Aid For Parents Class

It is unbelievable how much piece of mind my family and I now have after having completed a private in-home course (First Aid for Parents). The instructor and owner, Jennifer, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The comprehensive 2-hour course was easy to understand and highly interactive. We highly recommend that parents and extended family (e.g., grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc.) take a look into some of the courses offered by this great organization. You won't regret it!!

Jessica RutishauserPublic Training Event

We enjoyed our CPR training (blended). The in-class was very informative & enjoyable, extremely happy with the day! Thank you, Arlene!

Bobbi SoderstromPrivate Corporate Training Event

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.

"  I was SO happy to have found National Capital First Aid!  We signed up for the blended learning course, and were all pleasantly surprised at how convenient ( and FUN) it was!  The option of having the instructor come to us was golden! I've taken several first aid/cpr courses over the years, and this one, BY FAR, was my favorite.  Super knowledgeable, interactive, and friendly instructor. Thank you for a fun day Jennifer!!"

" 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. "

ALEXANDRA ReanoCorporate First Aid Training at Cuso International

The blended first aid training super good, the online session was very interactive and the practical session was great as we practiced various scenarios that built our confidence.

Tiffany L. JohnsonPublic First Aid Course Ottawa

I took the Standard First Aid CPR/AED Level C with Gail and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a very interactive and hands on class, our instructor delivered the information with enthusiasm and was extremely knowledgeable about the material being presented. She allowed us to ask questions and give our own accounts of emergency situations that we have individually encountered and was just so pleasant to work with. The real life scenarios we played out showed us just how fast things can go from calm to chaotic and how we must be able to react quickly and remain calm. I totally loved the experience and would encourage anyone to take this course.
