Scott is the best Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C Trainer! Scott is hands down the best first aid and CPR/AED level C trainer you could ask for! His session was incredibly hands-on with clear demonstrations that made learning both effective and engaging. He created a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable participating asking questions and practising the techniques. What really stood out is Scott’s energy, professionalism, and approachability which made the entire training experience, enjoyable, and confidence-boosting boosting I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get certified
