Ivan was a pleasure to work with. The on-boarding and course was very professional. My children were not looking forward to the day but ended up really enjoying it (thank you Ivan!) and requesting more instruction. Very impressed with Family First Aid.

Amanda was friendly and kept all topics interesting and easy to follow and encouraged questions and practice. My son(13) and I really enjoyed the course and feel confident in what we learnt. The whole experience from booking the course and after was prompt and friendly.
We had so much fun throughout the theory and practical work. It was very informative, we learned a lot and feel prepared if there was ever an emergency situation. Thank you Family First Aid!
