I recently completed the First Aid Levels 1–3 course and found it to be truly remarkable and highly informative. The course was well-structured, engaging, and provided valuable practical skills and knowledge that I feel confident applying in real-life situations.

A special thank you to Tanja, who was an exceptional instructor. Her teaching style was clear, professional, and encouraging, making even complex topics easy to understand. She created a positive learning environment and ensured that every participant felt comfortable and confident throughout the training.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain comprehensive first aid knowledge and skills. It was an excellent learning experience from start to finish.

The course was extremely educational and the instructor(Thabitso Khumalo) really went above and beyond with explaining everything in layman terms , we had so much fun while learning . I have a very short attention span but we were engaging throughout the two days of First Aid training. Our company couldn’t have picked a better health and safety company. It was awesome 🙂
Thabitso Khumalo is well versed in 1st Aid training. He keeps one engaged and interested through the entire training. He is friendly, kind and professional. What a fantastic Gentleman

Sharrylen was friendly, polite, and neat. She often went above and beyond to help students understand the material.

Mental health support for first responders should be included in first aid training because exposure to trauma doesn’t end when the patient is handed over.
First responders regularly witness injury, death, and distress, which can have lasting psychological effects if left unaddressed. Teaching basic mental health awareness, coping strategies, and early warning signs helps responders process experiences in a healthy way, reduces burnout and PTSD, and ensures they remain effective, compassionate, and resilient in the long term.

This is from my own experience
