Our instructor Bivaik was amazing in transmitting us her knowledge, covering every detail, allowing plenty of time for questions and making sure everyone got sufficient hands on practice. Furthermore she was kind and patient, making sure we would have a pleasant experience, and she made an extra effort to assure we are all well prepared to attend to an emergency.
The classroom was well equipped providing all the necessary material for studying and practicing emergency scenarios including books, a projector screen, mannequins, first aid material, barriers, defibrillators, mats, and last but not least plenty of coffee and tea.
I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for first aid and CPR training.

I left feeling prepared for real-life situations and would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn first aid in a supportive, interactive environment.
The course was well-organized, hands-on, and full of useful examples. Jone made the class engaging from start to finish and made sure everyone understood the material before moving on. I left the training feeling much more capable and ready to handle emergencies safely and correctly.
I highly recommend Safety BC and especially Jone for anyone who needs professional, high-quality First Aid training.
