Programme was well delivered very good hands on practice sessions and experienced teacher thank you Mr Prakash for your time and for imparting your knowledge, I appreciate it very much.

Charmaine Joseph

Very good experience！I learned a lot of first aid knowledge that I didn't know before. Whether it's when someone is hurting or having a sudden illness, I can use the skills I've learned to help them. For example, bandage them, help them with medication, call 911 or perform CPR. The teacher gave very vivid lectures, and he used a lot of interesting story examples to make us more impressed with the case. At the same time, he taught us to think about “why” in everything, which is also a useful inspiration for my usual study in school.
