I just wanted to pass on how much all the staff who attended enjoyed the excellent Defib training yesterday with Rod. We all found it interesting, informative and extremely well taught. Thanks to Rod, we all feel very confident that we would be able to deal with an emergency situation that required either CPR or use of a Defib. Many thanks

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.
