Testimonials

YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Having been a teacher for 46 years, I recognize a unique and superior teacher when I see one, and you are one of those rare, natural, awesome teachers. How you imparted so much information in one training session, and kept us ( a decidedly rather senior audience) captivated and engaged audience for over 8 hours is an amazement. Thank you so very much for doing these two courses. We so appreciate the superior first aid/CPR training that 31 of our active members now have. We can now go out on our nature walks, day paddling trips and camping trips with more confidence that we have trained First Aid people that are on these activities.

I just finished your CPR course that Stan gave to us over the weekend. As a tow truck driver we often end up on first on scene. Sometimes accidents can have people in need of medical attention. Before this course, I had no clue what to do. Now that I have taken your training, I can arrive on scene take control with confidence and help out anyone in need and give them a better fighting chance until other help arrives. I believe everyone should take this course. If one day, I save one persons life because of your course. It was worth it. Thanks again.

I am writing this email to express our gratitude and thanks for the support your organization provided to us. Contributing to the great success of the camp was the First Aid training provided to an additional 15 youth by your organization and, more specifically, your trainer Kate. I think it is very important, that as her supervisor, you know how impressed our organization was with the high degree of professionalism and knowledge displayed by Kate. I had the chance to observe some of the training provided by Kate to our youth and was thoroughly impressed with how well she handled herself and also presented the material to the youth. Throughout, the youth were attentive, actively participating, and were genuinely appreciative of the training. Everyone that I have spoken with has provided me with very positive feedback. However, even during her breaks, we were able to keep Kate gainfully employed as she responded to two major incidents involving youth. While she did a great job of presenting the academic side of First Aid to our youth, Kate proved equally capable and outstanding in the practical application and showcasing her knowledge and skillset. Throughout the entire camp, Kate displayed great professionalism, knowledge, was courteous, and, given that it was her first camp, was immensely adaptable. Kate brought great credit on herself, but also on your organization.

I really appreciated the extra time the instructors took at the end of the stop the bleed class to show me the CPR compression’s and the percentage that I got to reassure me that when I had to preform CPR on someone recently that I was doing it correctly and the support they gave me.

Excellent application of adult learning theory. Great use of practical examples. Incorporated and respected previous experiences of participants. Made for a smooth and fast paced course rather than a ‘death by power point’ approach. Would love to see this format replicated at future courses. The focus on skill station and application of trauma surveys made an enjoyable and practical course.

I just wanted to say a big thank you Crystal for being a great instructor, for being so passionate, for being so supportive and for caring for the students and training them. Thank you for allowing us to question without judging for giving us the time we need to understand things and for caring about both what you’re teaching and how you teach it. Thank you so much for making the CPR course super fun! I learned a lot and benefited from your course!
Again, thank you so much for your time and patience and for facilitating such a positive learning environment! You definitively love to teach. I really enjoyed this class I will remember those forever!

I did the standard first aid and cpr c yesterday. Crystal was absolutely AMAZING!!! She answered every single question anyone had even if it wasn’t quite on topic she still take the time to make sure everyone’s questions were answered and everyone understood. She went around to everyone to make sure they knew what they were doing with the dummies and even took time to show each person individually. She was amazing and I LOVED her personality, I can’t lie I was bummed out I had to take the course for work and kinda of felt like it was a “waste of a Saturday” but crystal changed my mind very fast. Just her positive attitude about the course made me feel positive about it too. I’ve had other teachers in the past who you could tell weren’t that excited to teach it so it made me feel the same way but crystal being so passionate about it I felt feeling very happy I did the class and feel way more confident leaving her class than times I’ve taken cpr in the past.
