The CPR/First aid training was very informative and the day went by smoothly. Instructor Prakash explained everything well and tested our knowledge along the way to make sure we felt comfortable. Thanks to SOS first aid and safety training for the great experience.

Allyson is an amazing instructor, she made the class very interactive and entertaining. I’ve heard from my friends that their first aid classes were boring, but I would love to say that this class was not boring what so ever. I would recommend friends or family that need to take first aid classes from SOS. Thank you Allyson for such a fun and knowledgeable experience😊
