1st day of my FAW refresher today with Brian who is one of those people that teach, who is professional, challenging and manages to be humorous as well. This makes the whole course memorable and enjoyable. Had the AED and CPR couple of weeks ago from Laura. Same high quality teaching, made memorable.
