"Craig was a fantastic instructor. His practical and realistic approach to teaching was much appreciated. Thank you!"

"The Instructor's delivery of the refresher training for Standard First Aid was excellent. We were delighted that the course was very interactive and very informative. We look forward to working with First for Safety in the future for all of our Standard First Aid training :)"

"Great instructor course was easy to follow with lots of practice time"

"The instructor was excellent in a way that made the information stick! It was great to participate in the training as well as updating my knowledge regarding opioid emergencies "

"Craig is an excellent instructor, he was so organized, informative and interactive. I was very happy with the overall process from start to finish. I learned so much, and feel confident to use the skilled we learned in class. Thank you all for a great experience!"

"Kathy was a fantastic and very knowledgeable instructor."

"The training I received was well presented and pleasant. The trainer was very professional and appeared proficient. I look forward to my next training session."

"I felt the course was very useful, and I especially appreciated that Jim was able to provide answers to our questions for an hour at the end of the session. I think we could have gone a little more slowly over some of the presentation content, even though it would have meant we were out later. For instance, having a hands on opportunity to "play with" the AED would be good - and maybe a chance to use rudimentary supplies (such as we might find in the bush) to construct a splint for an ankle or a wrist. Your office support (messages informing about what to expect, handling our applications, etc. was excellent."

"I thought that the course was very well run. The instructor, Jim [surname?] clearly knew his stuff and managed to cover all the material and make it interesting with examples from real life situations. I think that most of the content will "stick" with me and I trust I will recall the essentials if the need arises. I would recommend this course for anyone wishing to complete introductory basic first aid training."

"Course was excellent because of the instructor. "

"Very please with the training. Craig did a great job of keeping us informed and making it work when we got near the end of each day. Sad I never did this sooner!!"

"Easy to register, comprehensive and engaging online learning syllabus and exceptional hands on program delivery in a clean and inviting space are all reasons to choose First For Safety for your first aid and training needs. "

"What a great class. The class is very enjoyable and informative. Thanks again."

"It was informative. Cathy our teacher was great. The course material was detailed. "

"Cathy was fantastic to have as an instructor. The way she had us participate within the course was a great learning tool. She is very passionate and her delivery was bang on. She had my attention from start to finish. Highly recommend her and appreciate the stories she had to share with the group. "

"I enjoyed my course with First For Safety, it was efficient and practical and met my needs in a reasonable amount of time. I will certainly do future classes here! "

"I completed the hybrid first aid/CPR it was awesome to be able to complete some of the work ahead of time on my own schedule. The in class day was very helpful at tying everything together. The instructor was awesome. I will definitely complete my recertification with first for safety. "

"I enjoyed taking the First Aid and CPR course at First Safety. The course information was balanced with practical scenarios and theory to keep the learning interesting. I also appreciated the instructor's approach. It was a safe environment to ask questions, make mistakes and learn."

"Definitely one of the best places I have gone to do my first aid training! I felt very safe and comfortable being inside the establishment! The trainer was very helpful and willing to answer any questions people had! Thank you so much for doing what you do!"

"Had a great experience being trained at First for Safety in Midland. I took their First Aid/CPR course and was trained by the very knowledgeable and charismatic Craig. Thank you very much for your help in getting me certified! Highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere local and professional. "

"Trainer was personable and able to provide a healthy mix of teaching and anecdotes to make the training effective and enjoyable. Thanks so much."

"In February 2023, myself and three co-workers completed our First Aid Training. It was my first time attending First Aid training, and it was a great experience. The trainer made it easy to understand, and was very humourous, which made it enjoyable. I left feeling informed and well educated."

"Wonderful and fulfilling experience! If I knew then what I know now, I would have done first aid and CPR ages ago! I was mildly always intimidated to do it, but now I can see I can be of assistance with no stress :) Although the initial goal was to obtain this for a particular job, I can apply it especially in another position I hold, as we have an AED in my office and it makes me feel great to know I can use it should the need ever arise! Thanks to all, especially to the instructor, who wasn't afraid to answer any and all questions with ease."

"The training provided was outstanding! It was educational and fun it really stuck with me more than all the other training I have had before! I appreciate all of the time and effort put into our training and I would definitely recommend First for Safety to anyone! :)"

"This was my first time taking the First Aid Course for Certification. I really appreciate our Instructor, Shannon, who taught course #2349675 and who made the course very interesting and kept us all involved. "

"What an incredible and informative session. Our instructor made the recertification experience comfortable and relatable which for me at least helped broaden many aspects of First Aid. I highly recommend this course."

"Our instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly , she made this course very easy to sit in. "

"i thought the course was extremely well run. I love the online component ahead of time to learn at your own leisure, and then the recap in class. I have said it to numerous people since leaving the course on friday, that this was one of the best in class sessions i've ever had. I am an RPN and have attended quite a few CPR recertification classes, and always find the presentation of material either "boring" or monotonous in which I dont retain anything as it seems that just facts are repeated. Instead this training was presented in a way that can actually be applied to real life situations. Would highly recommend this course to anyone new to first aid / cpr or anyone looking to do a recert. "

"Excellent facilitation and content to provide us excellent grounding and knowledge of a broad range of first aid methods and responses. "

"First For Safety provided excellent service for both the online component for our first aid/CPR recertification and the in class portion. Topanga went above and beyond when their were difficulties with my Red Cross Account. The instructor was a personable, entertaining and informative instructor for the in class segment. Thank you!"

"The first aid training was a very inclusive environment. The information was given and easy to understand. Any questions that you had were answered in a way that was easy to understand/get clarification on. When I went into first for safety to update my first aid kit, they were very helpful and made sure I have what I need."

"Course was very well done. John made it enjoyable while still making sure all group members were able to understand everything. There was a power outage and staff made sure lighting was provided and everyone felt comfortable. A++"

"I really enjoyed this refresher course. Our instructor, Kathy, was wonderful. She kept our interest the whole time with anecdotes to illustrate points, a good sense of humour, and just the right amount of repetition to help us remember important points. Every time I take this course, I learn something new and I feel I got quite a few gems from this particular course. It really helps to feel more confident that I can actually help someone in an emergency. Thanks so much."

"I did the working at Heights program and Dan was our trainer and he did an outstanding job teaching us ,highly recommend him."

"Excellent course. Instructor was knowledgeable and kept it interesting. "

"I very much enjoy dealing with First for Safety. They are friendly, helpful, fast and efficient. "

"The training provided was very informative. The instructor was very patient, kind and fun to be with. The instructor also provided real life scenarios and situations she has personally been in to give more of an understanding of what kind of emergencies can really happen. I highly recommend this instructor. "

"Our team was pleased with the expertise and knowledge of the trainers. The material was presented in an informative yet interesting way that held their attention and made the training enjoyable."

"Excellent course, great trainer....made a difficult topic easy to understand and enjoyable to learn."

"Your instructor is very down to earth and really follows the criteria meant to be spoken. His opinions and experiences spoke well amongst the group. I have been a mediator in my past watching courses like this run and in my opinion he is spot on"

"Great experience! Jennifer was great at explaining how the N95 works and the whole mask fitting process Topanga was very helpful trying to accommodate an appointment around my busy schedule Would highly recommend!"

"Jim was my instructor. He was professional and did his best to ensure that everyone understood the class material. The use of his personal experiences help keep the class interesting and gave some relevance to why it was being taught. I will be back to recertify in the future "

"Craig did a fantastic job presenting the information. He kept it interesting while still getting all the information across to us. Hopefully Craig is still teaching in 2026."

"My husband and I took a blended Standard First Aid course at First For Safety, Kathy as the Instructor. The course set up and communication was very organized and simple to navigate. The Instructor, Kathy, was informative, thorough, interesting, funny and of course knowledgeable. One of the best courses we ever participated in. Highly recommended. "

"Dan was an incredible instructor and teacher. The way he presented things really hit home. He made what would have otherwise been dry content relatable to real world situations. I could tell that he really put his heart into what he was doing. Well done!"

"The course content was great and our trainer was very good, really made the course relative to our business. "

"Very informative, well prepared and kind Instructor! "

"Working with the team at First for Safety to coordinate training on-site for our team was seamless. Jennifer and Topanga were very efficient in collaborating with me to coordinate a suitable time and date for us all to receive the training, and manage the PO process, with the quote and invoice; to sending the team their certificates and wallet cards. Craig is an excellent instructor, he is engaging and explains thoroughly while taking time to answer questions and ensure that the team understands the theory and practical aspects of the training. It was a great experience and I am very happy to have gained this new life-saving knowledge. Thank you to everyone at First for Safety!"

"I am primarily an office worker, so safe propane handling training was a bit outside my comfort zone. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with all attendees. He took the time to make sure we were well-versed with the material presented, as well as the hands-on elements of the course. I would highly recommend this program to others seeking similar training."

"From the initial sign-up to in-person training and the receiving of certificates, First for Safety has been amazing. I trust this company with all our Safety needs, and the trainer surpassed my expectations. Thank you, and I look forward to continuing working with you!"

"We were so impressed with our First For Safety First Aid training. The communication leading up to the experience was clear and professional and told us everything we needed to know. The instructor, Craig, was amazing. He was funny and personable and made everyone feel like we could be successful. We would highly recommend First For Safety to anyone looking for certification for their staff."

"Although I have done the course many times before, there are always changes in the process. The instructor kept me interested in all aspects of the course. Looking forward to the next course in three years."

"COURSE: Half Mask Fit Testing & Training Excellent course. Very professional and all course material was well conveyed. Highly recommend. "

"I thought the course was very informative and kept simple so that every would be able to remember and apply what they have learned if necessary. John was the instructor for my course and he did an excellent job. He kept everyone engaged and interested in the content. The protocols put in place were very good. They didn't restrict us from learning and practising some procedures however, everyone felt safe in the environment. Thank you for the opportunity. I will recommend this course to others."

"Absolutely loved the facilitator and felt that all topics were covered thoroughly but also in ways that we will remember. Also thought that I learned a whole new set of skills even though I have taken CPR probably 12 times or more. Glad to be back in a class as well and felt safe as per protocols. Thanks."

"The course was excellent start to finish. The facility was very clean, organized and staff were very helpful. The course instructor was very informative, good explanations of the content covered, demonstrated all skills and ensured all participants were comfortable and proficient with the knowledge being taught. I would recommend to all. Excellent experience. Thank you. "

"Craig was amazing very engaging kept the content moving. Along with some real life scenarios he really made the content seem useful in a real world environment. Great class great knowledge."

"I enjoyed the course the in class portion was well done, class size was comfortable and the instructor was amazing "

"First for Safety was one of the friendliest places that I have dealt with in a long time. From the first call to calling for more information for support, you were all very friendly and made me feel more relaxed. The instructors were amazing as well with so much knowledge. I will say that taking a 2-day course on a Sat and Sun was not very exciting for me but John (can't remember his last name) made it so much fun and informative. I have already recommended your Midland location to the other students in my course. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back. "

"From beginning to end this has been such a great experience. Administration was supportive, organized and easy to follow and manage. The online course was easy to navigate and mange on my own and I prefer this blended method. The skill session was incredible. I have done many many first aid courses over the years and Cathy was the best instructor I have ever had! She was funny and shared such a wealthy of knowledge and experience it was motivating to me to strive to provide the best first aid care should I ever be in a situation to do so. I also went to the store after the course to get supplies for my outdoor school and the assistant Rob was accommodating and knowledgeable. Thank you for such a fantastic program and course, overall I would highly recommend this to.anyone "

"Kathy, who ran the course was outstanding at explaining everything in a manner that didn't go over your head as I do not come from the medical or emergency world, plus her story telling so you could relate to what and how to handle emergencies was fantastic. I pulled an immense amount out of the course and feel I am better equipped as a person in the community and my business to help when called upon. I would highly recommend this course and I hope you get Cathy teaching it as she simply cares. Richard Davies Midland Honda Vice President / GM"

"A great experience all around from Registration to the actual course. Very professional and knowledgeable staff. "

"Registration process was completed by employer and First For Safety kept me well informed of training specifics from confirmation, course reminders, safety protocols, and the pre-screening online questionnaire. The training environment was well laid out out including tools, etc. making one feel safe environment was a priority. The instructor, Greig, was very informative giving numerous examples and opportunity for discussion. Answered questions knowledgeably and kept the group from wondering off course content. He managed to put two days worth of training into one very well. Personally, very understanding and supportive of a personal issue shared with him that might stop me from performing a specific course requirement. My overall experience with First For Safety and the training was very positive. Thank you."

"Craig was a great instructor and was able to make the learning fun. I really enjoyed working in a small group with one partner for the whole morning. Thank you! Barb"

"I liked the blended course, online materials were terrific. FFS staff were wonderful as usual, and it was a great instructor."

"The RC First Aid course that I recently attended was the best one yet. The instructor, Cathy, kept the class engaged while covering all of the necessary information. Her expertise & delivery was spot on and kept my attention for the entire morning. Well Done! "

"I found the day to fly by with Kathy teaching and she made it easy to remember the information with her stories. Would love to have her every time!"

"Timely, informative, and helpful email replies. Extremely pleasant staff, very warm and genuine. Instructor Cathy at the midland location was amazing. She taught the lessons in a down-to-earth way connecting the material to real-life situations. The way she delivered the course helped me absorb the information and understand it better. Overall a great experience. I feel prepared to assist in any emergency situation. I am now eager for my recertification in three years and interested in taking more training in the future about various topics. "

"Kathy is a great instructor. She is warm, knowledgeable, and did not mince her words. The process for certifying online is simple, and the in-person class is memorable because of the instructor's many years worth of stories in the health care industry, and her encouraging others to share their experiences. I feel prepared to identify and help in an emergency situation. I highly recommend the course."

"I had Cathy and she was great. Had lots of real life experiences to talk about and relate to which was great. Thanks again!!"

"My Team and I absolutely loved the training. Our instructor was so engaging. I kept telling her I have never enjoyed or had fun learning CPR/First Aid before. Clearly doing something right here. Highly recommend. "

"Craig is an excellent instructor, I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and feel well prepared for providing care"

"Was fun and extremely helpful! I feel confident going into my workplace, and mostly to have skills with my loved ones and friends incase of emergency. The instructor was AMAZING and made being there very enjoyable and personal 10/10 would recommend. "

"Well detailed, great explanation. Craig was great at keeping us into it. One of the best classes I have taken I like the differences between regular first aid vs healthcare. And the hands on was more realistic. Thank you "

"From my very first phone call it was nothing but a great experience. All of the classes were initially booked up and due to my situation I really needed to get my CPR/First Aid as quickly as possible. The staff member called me back after I initially signed up for a later than desired date to advise she was able to get me into the earlier one. Needless to say the customer service was incredible. My instructor had a ton of experience and ensured top notch knowledge for real world and for what was needed in the training. Certificate was updated and sent out the next day after completing the training I would 100% recommend First For Safety for any of the products or services they offer. They also have a store with all the PPE you could ever want or need to be safe during these crazy times as well. Thank you for your services and to all the Midland Staff!! :D"

"Very happy with my training, you guys have a good team and are well organized. The teacher was very helpful and energic. I had this quals many times in the military, but nothing as much interesting and interactive, like the video and hands on while learning."

"The whole process was very good from signing up to changing the date for the first training session. Everyone was so accommodating and the training session was well managed with appropriate safety protocols in place. Kathy is an excellent instructor with relatable stories. Overall well done by everyone!"

"The best instructor by far that I ever had. It was a great pleasure to be in her class. Thanks so much!!"

"The safety training was excellent. He went through alot of different senarios, of things that could happen on our buses, and how we could be prepared to offer assistance. I enjoyed the course. We learned everything we needed to know it a short period of time. Thank you!"

"An excellent trainor who not only knew the material but knew how to deliver it in an engaging way."

"I have taken several courses over the years at First for Safety and have always found them to be excellent. Very informative and educational. The instructor is very knowledgeable and knows how to deliver the information in a manner that keeps your attention. I highly recommend these courses. "

"Great environment and you followed all the covid protocols. Instructor was amazing. He knew the content and made us feel at ease"

"I just wanted to leave a quick review as the entire process is quite clear. The team at First For Safety is tremendous and willing to help when people who aren't so technology savvy. First For Safety help navigate issues and book you in for your training dates based on your availability. Highly recommend. "

" Facility is clean and spacious adhering to covid 19 safety guidelines. All customers were greeted and very organized. Instructor was very knowledgeable and thorough in explanations and demonstrations. I would highly recommend taking this course through "First for safety"."

"The two day course was great. The instructor was thorough and had interactive activities. She told us stories instead of reading from slides. The stories will stick with me much longer. "

"I attended First Aid & CPR/AED Level C at First for Safety April 2021. The staff at First for Safety were accommodating and friendly and took careful precautions for delivering this training during COVID-19. The instructor was knowledgeable and made the training engaging with her real-life examples."

"The first aid class was informative and our instructor Craig was wonderful. He kept us engaged and made it an enjoyable experience. The whole team at First for Safety were such a pleasure to deal with. Definitely would recommend them. "

"Thank you for being able to provide me with the cpr first aid course and in a safe environment. I found the program to have a very insightful and approachable instructor. Again it is appreciated to have been able to complete these programs. Thank you. "

"Even after switching to the blended learning option I enjoyed it all. The whole team involved in training was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions and concerns I had. I unfortunately forget the name of my trainer who did the in class teaching but she was amazing, very personable and easy to relate to and very kind. Thank you to the whole team in helping me achieve my certification in First aid and CPR. "

"I was extremely impressed. From all the emails we received after registration to keep us informed and explain how to do the online portion to being met at the door in a friendly manner to the instructor who made it as safe and interesting as possible. Thank you to all involved."

"Hello, you guys did great! The hospitality upon arrival, the social distancing and placement of the work stations and sanitary measures were great. The instructor was fantastic. It is very apparent that she is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She enjoys teaching and instructs with a flair of humour, making the content interesting. The only negative feedback would be the choice of presentation medium....flip charts that were not readable from even the closest workstations made it impossible for following along visually. Great job! "

"I have been doing my training sessions at First For Safety for a while now and I can say all of my experiences have always been amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. For my recent class, my instructor, Kathy, was absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable and kind. Thank you again! "

"Had a wonderful First Aid course The trainer Craig was just fantastic. Kept the class engaged and was fun The protocols that have been put into effect are great. I felt safe in knowing that all the tools need were sanitized and folks were separated properly in class Totally safe environment. Thank you for all the hard work "

"I really appreciated the course our instructor was amazing. Everyone there is amazing and so helpful"

"I felt that the online training was very easy to follow and I retained more of the information than I generally have in the past. Nonetheless, our instructor was excellent, providing stories to solidify our understanding."

"The instructor Cathy was tremendous! By using her own experiences as examples, it really helped grasp the information and gave me a better understanding. She made things interesting and fun. I have never enjoyed a first aid class as much as I did with Cathy."

"Enjoyed the day. Training and refresher were great. Jim the instructor was knowledgeable and brought a sense of humour with him The day was a bit long but the class size was perfect Unfortunately Covid seems to rule the day for now"

"Just finished the new blended course with First for Safety. This is my third time using them for First aid and they are great. I'm in the Barrie area but was more than willing to drive up to Midland for instructor Kathy Jackson. I find myself to be a little nervous when it comes to this type of training but she has a way of making the course a lot less stressful with her approach and experience. Thanks Jennifer for being so accommodating with my choice of instructor. David Sampson Total Battery Barrie"

"Good morning, I wanted to say that First For Safety did a great job in mitigating risk. Between the individual desks to the cleaning/sanitizing of the washrooms after use. If someone was feeling anxious on whether or not social distancing was going to occur or if cleaning was going to occur, I will ensure you that they followed everything. The facilitator was outstanding in the material he presented. Personally, I think I would prefer taking the full day class especially when it comes to AED portion. I learn better in a class environment and seeing the hands on portion. That is just my personal preference. Otherwise, everything was great between all the staff at First for Safety. Highly recommend. :) "

"(Thursday September 17, 2020, at Ste. Marie Among the Hurons) The instructor for my blended level C course was outstanding! She explained things very clearly and was diligent in making sure we could do the necessary protocols properly. Particularly, I liked her anecdotal stories about her 30 years in the health care field. It made the session more meaningful. I believe this to be the best first aid course I have taken in my long career in the OPS. Thank-you."

"Training was very good. Instructor was fantastic and made the subject material very interesting. Her real life situations / stories added to the enjoyment of the course! "

"Thank you for providing a safe class environment for our first aid skills training. Your extensive Covid protocols allowed us to feel confident and enjoy the training session without worry. The instructor was knowledgeable and mindful of everyone's safety. "

"Had a great time during the recert. Craig made learning fun. Thank you for everything. "

"The course was run very professionally and efficiently. The instructor was very both thorough and entertaining. I hope I never need to use the skills I learned but am glad that I have them should I need to help someone! Thanks, Brad "

"Kathy was a phenomenal teacher. Obviously she knows her stuff and is able to keep the class engaged throughout the course. She explained things very well and I enjoyed how she implemented real life situations into our course. An excellent instructor. As far as the organization and implementation of COVID measures, I felt very safe and feel that First For Safety has gone above and beyond to ensure that all students feel safe in the learning environment. Excellent work team during these uncertain times. I will definitely use First For Safety for further courses. "

"The first aid course I took was FANTASTIC! I have take many with other companies but this one was the BEST ever! Thank you to Cathy and the team. I learned more through this company than others. Definitely would recommend First for Safety to anyone"

The Instructor was very knowledgable and friendly. Great instructions for all the skills training. Would definitely recommend taking this course at First For Safety. "

"Great training, very succinct. Lots of practical experience. I would recommend this to my colleagues! "

"Craig was an excellent instructor. He added humour throughout which helped make the time fly. He also encouraged you to think thru the problems which made you feel confident that you would be able to handle this possible dilemma on your own sometime. The setup was very organized and the social distancing was very well thought through. I would highly recommend this service."

"As always, all of you were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process! I found the online portion really well done, communication about coming in person was very clear, and the trainer was fantastic."

"I was very impressed by the efficiency of Jennifer in getting me prepped and ready to go with the courses I needed, as I was on a critical time frame. She met my needs. I liked doing the online learning at my own pace. Craig was very good at teaching, and kept us engaged. I have been to other classes where it is very boring. I did not find that all with Craig. As far as keeping everyone safe from the COVID and social distancing, I felt that all steps were taken to ensure everyone's safety. Organized with sanitizer at the desks, clean area without extra clutter, all equipment sanitized well and gloves provided for all encounters with partners. Excellent work!"

"Registration was simple and Jennifer was accommodating for the 3 of us. Protocols during the pandemic were in place and the environment was safe for learning. We enjoyed the on-line learning which we were able to complete on our own time. Kathy was informative and great instructor. "

"Great course, knowledgeable instructor, nice training room and helpful staff all around. "

"The course material was informative, easy to learn, and the teacher was friendly, open to answering questions, and spoke clearly for all to hear."

Feel safe and confident in helping others. Thanks again to John for keeping the course moving forward and not feeling like it was near going end, there was no time wasted on any of the subjects. "

"We send all our volunteers and staff to First for Safety for their First Aid & CPR training. The registration process has always been great as well as we have had great feedback about all instructors. Excellent course!"

"I have done many first aid courses and I have to say this is the first one where I feel I truly learned something and it stuck. Our instructor was amazing, he was able to make sure each and everyone of us were educated and on the same page. Thanks! "

"Tyler was our instructor and he was awesome! Very patient with us, and he kept the material interesting throughout. Thank you!"

"Great course Jim, thank you, informative and clear."

"I have been taking by first aid every 3 years since 2005 and I think this was by far the most enjoyable class and knowledgeable instructor I have had. The instructor used personal experiences to teach us the required material as well as lots of hands on demonstrations. I appreciated the different learning strategies as this material can get pretty dry and it have be hard to focus when someone is just reading overhead material for 2 days straight. I hope to have the same instructor for my recert in 3 years. "

"Clean, warm building. Jennifer was very helpful and makes the process very simple and quick. In the store the cashier was helpful and payment was simple. The instructor of the first aid training I did, Jackson was the best. She made things real and teaches a lot from her experience working in the field. I would recommend them! There’s also free coffee at all time so that’s a bonus haha "

"Good review of first aid requirements. Good class participation, and sharing of stories. Sometimes getting personal helps with undersranding the big picture. John kept things moving well, covered a lot of territory, and beat it into us to call 911 right away! It was a good course. Thank you!"

"I thought the course was fantastic! John did an excellent job, kept us focused, educated, and entertained us at the same time! His presentations were clear and to the point. And had his vast experience and knowledge to call on when needed! Would I take the course again. Hell yes! John deserves a raise!"

"The staff at First for Safety were very pleasant and accomodating. The instructor was very knowledgable and easy to learn from. "

"Very satisfied with course. Felt it was very informative, hands on, up-to-date and gave me the confidence needed in case I should ever have to use these skills in an emergency. John was an excellent instructor. "

"The instructor was amazing. She was personable and relaxed well with all the class. Information was explained well. Look forward to having another class with her!!!"

"Thank you for having an amazing instructor! It was a joy to learn from you. "

"Our training was fantastic. The experience of the instructor and the way the material was presented will help me to remember what to do in the event of an emergency. The time taking the course flew by and much appreciated. "

"Our instructor was terrific. He kept the instruction moving. He asked after every segment if anyone had questions and answered all questions asked. Great experience. "

"Very good course! Very informative and I learned a lot. The instructor was very knowledgeable. "

"Course was excellent, very thorough and informative. Instructor Jim was very knowledgeable and his presentation put all at ease. Thank you to all involved, much appreciated! "

"The Standard First Aid Course offered by Jim was great. We learned a lot, and now feel comfortable with the covered skills. The hands-on components and Jim's sense of humor made for an enjoyable 2 days."

"I want to say I very much enjoyed this round of training. The instructor was very easy to follow and made the course down to earth with light hearted but poignant in the area of discussion. He took time for the class to express their own experiences and did not rush anything along. GREAT JOB. When I need to take this training again I hope it will be John doing the training. "

"Overall amazing two days spent and grabbing the certificate from a great expertise, Kathy. Highly recommending for all those seeking CPR certification! "

"I Just had a 2 day course on Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C that was very interesting and Tyler the trainer made the course fun and interactive , he also had us out of our seats doing hands on first aid and CPR. Tyler was very knowledgeable in first aid with real life stories. The building was very clean and staff were Friendly and I would recommend training at First for Safety in Midland. "Thank you" "

"Tyler was very personable, professional, informative, patient and easy to understand. I really enjoyed all the hands on practice we did. The 7 minutes of CPR with the AED was so helpful, and it is great to know that we can do that for 7 minutes straight, so if we are ever presented with having to do this, we know we can do it solo for at least 7 minutes. The v-stance is great to know. I asked a lot of questions to clarify things, etc, and Tyler never seemed annoyed or frustrated with my questions, which was huge. That helped make me feel comfortable, and ok to ask more questions. I liked the review of things we learned the day before Tuesday morning. It was nice just to recap the main points again. I found this to be the best first aid course I have taken. I refreshed a lot, and learned a number of new things. Found it extremely informative and helpful. Would definitely recommend Tyler as an instructor."

"I received my re-certification on July 29th, 2019. We had the pleasure of having Kathy visit Waterside RL to do our re-certification. What an incredibly good instructor she is !! She really knows her stuff, she has a fun and refreshing way of delivering the course material and all of our participants were fully engaged throughout the day !! Kudos to Kathy :)"

"Thanks so much to our instructor, Kathy, for making the course so interesting with her hands on experience in the field and the knowledge acquired in her places of employment. The entire process of registration, payment and obtaining my certification was well organized and professional. "

"Very knowledgeable staff and good facilities ...and the safest building in the area ...very helpful training coordinator. I recommend this location."

"Jim, our instructor for the 2 day coarse was very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend first for safety!"

"The CPR course that I attended was excellent. I am a nurse with many years experience - and a past history of volunteering as a first aider at sporting events. I found the entire CPR course interesting and it was probably the best one I have attended...The material was presented in a straight forward - easy to understand manner. There have been changes over the years on how CPR is performed - and it was interesting to have the improvements explained. Thank-you. "

"Course content is always good. Craig the instructor was excellent, kept the pace going and kept things interesting."

" A very thorough and interesting course. The instructor is great."

"This was my very first ever CPR - First Aid training in my 35 years. I was extremely impressed by the course content and Craig's knowledge level for first aid. Craig was an excellent instructor. He made me feel very comfortable asking any questions I had. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone and everyone :) Thanks so much!! Tina"

"I was impressed with the knowledge and experience of the instructor and that quite a good portion of the course was spent in hands on activities to help us refresh our knowledge and muscle memory for use with the first aid equipment, especially with the airway management equipment such as oxygen tanks and bag valves. The newest thinking and rationale about CPR and the importance of both the speed and quality of teamwork with which it must be performed was also passed onto us throughout the day. "

"The class was great, I enjoyed hearing the instructors stories and learning through them rather than just reading directly out of the manual. The instructor made learning and re-certifying fun, interesting and easy. "

"Hi Abbie, I just wanted to send a big thank you to you! All your help the past couple of weeks and ordering the gloves right away for us, has been a huge help! Thank you so much for being great at your job and for being so nice😊 Thanks again! "

"I have been recertifying every year with First for Safety and they are an amazing business and team to work with. From their newsletter letting me know of courses offered to the reminders of the course I signed up for they are very professional. Their selection of the best First Aid Instructors is top notch. They host an absolute friendly, clean and safe environment to learn in. Although I have taken this course every year I always seem to walk away with yet another piece of valuable information I did not know. What impresses me the most is the real life stories and moments shared by the Certified Instructors of life saving situations. I would highly recommend training with First For Safety. "

"I really and truly enjoy my training due to the fact that I am a visual learner and my teacher was one of the best I have ever met. She show patience and was very clear with what she had to teach. The visions she provided when she spoke about anything was clear and straight to the point. I will definitely want her to be my teacher again. Thank you very very much."

"Excellent course. Jim is a very knowledgeable instructor. Facilities are very clean and made me feel comfortable for easy learning. Staff very friendly."

"This FirstAid+CPR course was probably the most interesting and enjoyable class I've taken. Kathy was very knowledgable, experienced and facilitated discussion so we weren't just absorbing information the whole two days. Lots of theory to practice examples provided and enough breaks/side topics that I wasn't looking forward to it being over like other trainings I've endured. I would use First for safety again in the future especially if it was the same instructor. Thank you! "

"It is a pleasure to work alongside this agency to have our staff trained and re-qualified in First Aid. The communications are prompt and the administration is easy and efficient. Thank you for the great work."

"Instructor was fabulous. Real life experiences were shared which made the learning process much easier."

"This was a truly amazing course. The instructor is amazing. She made everything so clear and true to life. Not afraid to share her experiences and to welcome ours. she is an asset to the Red Cross. Learned some great things that are so common and yet you don't realize the significance. 100\100 for sure"

"The instructor made the 2 days very easy to learn, she communicated very well and had good energy. "

"The entire process from registering with Jennifer right through to the delivery of the course and the quality of customer service was outstanding. We will continue to utilize the many products and services offered by First For Safety."

"I thought that the entire process was an enjoyable experience. The instructor did a great job building a relationship with the class and making two long days seem to glide by. In addition, Jennifer was always extremely easy to get in contact with for registration, or clarification on any confusions such as locations and times. Thank you for making the experience good for all of our team members who attended throughout three separate classes. "

"What an awesome instructor. We covered the material completely and had lots of real world scenarios to help us see the value in what we were learning. She was also a dynamic instructor which helped keep me engaged. THANK YOU "

"I found that the First Aid/CPR/AED course that I had recently taken at First For Safety was extremely informative as well as being an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend First For Safety."

"I enjoyed the Emergency First Aid/CPR course and found Jim Hanmore to be a great instructor. He's knowledgeable, approachable, uses personal stories to provide relevant examples and analogies to further facilitate the learning, and does well at engaging the class. Thanks for a great course!"

"Just attended a two day first aid training course, and it quickly went from "just need to finish this" to "am I ever glad I came here to do this". It was a great experience all around. John was the facilitator, he was excellent; thorough, interesting, fun and humorous. He kept the whole experience very personal. I need to note also just how incredibly friendly every staff member was; I had a little interaction over lunch and a few issues I needed help with, and every single person I spoke to was very helpful and friendly, the vibe around the place was so positive. The environment is impeccably clean, and sharing your kitchenette was super helpful and again friendly. Wow - you guys have really got a good thing going on. Thank you "

"Great learning space and great instructor! "

"Really enjoyed the course offered by First for Safety. Instructor was great. Looking forward to recertifying in the future. "

Every one of our staff including myself were totally impressed with the way Kathy presented the materials. We found her very informative and engaging.The me way she presented the material was done in a manner that kept everyone interested throughout the entire time. We all agreed that this was the best First Aid training that we have ever attended."

It is clear that the instructor is very passionate about helping others, and life experiences greatly contribute to the dynamics of the class. Thank you!!"

"What a great experience! I learned so much during my 2 days Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training. She was able to give us real life situation to help us understand. She made this training enjoyable! "

"Re: Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C Training on December 4th and 5th, 2018 The instructor was outstanding. She offered real life experiences, was knowledgeable and it was very obvious that she is quite passionate about what she does. The entire two days were a pleasurable learning experience for me. Facility was good, however, I found the temperature of the room was very cold on both days. (I was dressed warmly)"

"Great class. First time I have taken a first aid class and left feeling comfortable with what I just learned. I have taken lots of first aid classes too."

"This was my first time taking this course. I really enjoyed it. The instructor was awesome. Really liked her passion, real life stories and her method of delivering the course material. It was fun and very interactive. Would certainly recommend this course to others. The facility was suitable for our large group with ample parking and the pre-course instructions were clear."

Her teaching style makes for a fun learning environment.

"Kathy was an excellent instuctor. I enjoy her real life stories and appreciated the update on newer topics like opioid overdose and Lyme disease."

Thank you to Jennifer Watson for making my registration hassle free and convenient, and thank you to Cathy the instructor for making the day very engaging, fun, and pleasant."

"Loved the class, gave all info needed plus more, very good instructors "

"I usually don't leave reviews, by I believe Kathy (our two-day instructor) deserved recognition. Kathy was absolutely hilarious and made class fun. The on-going jokes and laughing, but with the serious of hands-on learning made the two days go by in a flash. I am so thankful for Kathy, and I hope that I get to do my renewal classes with her in the near future. Thank you so much again. Mel & Erin "

The course was well organized, the trainer very knowledgeable, made the course fun, she simplified the course and made it easy to understand. Great job Kathy. Thanks I give you an A in content, knowledge and presentation."

"I took this course in the general interests of safety around the home and the water, and not for work purposes. It was a well-structured offering with plenty of hands-on demonstrations, the instructor was engaging, the booklet invaluable as a reference, and the atmosphere congenial. And it was fascinating to hear one woman report that in the course of her work she had saved not just one life, but three! "

"John is still an excellent instructor. There was never a moment that I was not engaged in the class. I even learned a few new things! Thanks for the quality training. "

"I wanted to offer some feedback on the two day course we attended. Our Instructor was excellent. He did a wonderful job of explaining situations and actions that some of us may find ourselves involved in. Craig is an expert at offering information with a dab of humor and making the days training easy to take in. Thanks for some great training !"

"Good morning Pat, Back in November, I stopped in to see what you had for winter, green patch boots. I have always been hesitant to buying a pair as I spend most of my time climbing and most CSA certified winter boots are big and heavy. One of your associates showed me a pair of the Rocky Mountains, and I could not believe it. They are so light, very comfortable, and Canadian made. I could not believe the price of the as well, they were cheaper than my regular summer boots. Of course I bought a pair, and have no regrets what so ever. There was no break-in period to them, and I put many of miles on them without any discomfort what so ever. The days of cold toes are well gone.I was taking a look at them as I put them away for the summer, and I could not believe how well they have stood up. There is no sole wear to them and no collapsing of the sides at all. By far, the best and most comfortable winter boot I have owned. Thank you for your help. Ed Moriarty"

"I recently took the Standard First Aid with Level 'C' CPR & AED 2 day course with John McDowell. He was such a great instructor. You can tell that he has a passion for teaching & helping others. Those 2 days flew by. The content was taught in such a fun, interesting & engaging way. Very pleased with the amount of information I retained in such a short amount of time. I am thankful to have gotten such a great instructor on such an important life skill."
