I just wanted to take a moments to thank instructor for today's CPR and First Aid class. He was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient with all of us. I truly feel like I learned so much, and his teaching style made everything so clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to gain real confidence in these lifesaving skills!
Jennifer Seward
This was the third time taking my first aid and CPR course and it was my best experience yet. Normally in my past experiences, the day seemed extremely long, but Noor taught the class with a lot of passion and spoke in a way that kept me focused and attentive. He's very experienced and knowledgeable about what he's doing. Keep up the great work Noor!!
