  • "Completed a basic level first aid course today as a work requirement. Our trainer Marlon was highly enthusiastic, engaging and very competent in what he was teaching! Really made it a joy. Even after learning a higher level previously he was able to keep it engaging for all knowledge levels! Training aids were great and plenty to share around. I would 100% recommend this training to anyone considering it! Life skills you will never forget!"
