Mirlande J.
I completed the Canadian Red Cross course, and it was an outstanding experience! The instructor was highly knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and made the training easy to understand. The hands-on practice was excellent, each participant had their own manikin, which provided plenty of opportunity to build confidence and practice the skills properly. The course was very well organized and professionally delivered. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality First Aid and CPR training.

I highly recommend First Aid Connect if you need to get certified. The staff was helpful in helping me get the course I needed, and the course was outstanding. Noor was my instructor and was informative and led the class very effectively. Will use them for all my First Aid course needs. Plan to send my children for the babysitter course for added safety when home alone. Thank you.
