Great training session. Short, sharp and straight to the point, the instructor didn’t fluff around and over expand in the details. Loved that there was an online component and in person session only 4hrs long.

Roger, was a lively; value adding (lots of additional interesting info from his experience as a trainer), Dad joke cracking, creative presenter. Of all the different trainings I have attended W Australia wide first aid; Roger has been the most animated & gifted in his teaching and presentation style, making a potentially dry subject, interesting.

Good. Instructor was nice & polite, but his Indian accent made it hard to understand him sometimes. I asked him to repeat what his said a few times, didn't want to keep asking as I didn't want to sound disrespectful. Also didn't like it when he was clicking his fingers trying to get other students off their phones. Verbal command would've be enough. Guess it's a cultural difference? I would attend again. I was satisfied overall.

The instructor explained the key points first and addressed common questions, which was far more helpful than long-winded explanations. I had miscalculated the dates and attended the CPR course a few weeks ago, and the First Aid course today. It was the same instructor, and they explained everything clearly using easy-to-understand examples.

Good afternoon, I don’t usually go to the trouble of leaving reviews however, the lady who delivered my First Aid & CPR course today was definitely worth it. I attended the session at North Toowoomba at 9am today, and I believe the trainer’s name was Carol. I have completed lots of First Aid & CPR courses over many years with different organisations, and I can honestly say I have never enjoyed one as much as I did today. Carol was funny, engaging, and didn’t waffle on like some trainers do. She was very approachable and happily helped anyone who needed it. Normally after two hours I’m nearly asleep and struggle with concentration due to my ADHD, but today I did not get sleepy at all. I hope my next refresher is with Carol, and just as enjoyable as the session was today. Kind Regards Janelle Appleton
