Testimonials

I felt this course was very well structured and the staff were very hands on and knowledgeable. In particular I really appreciated the anecdotal examples that really cemented the technique or skill we were learning. I enjoyed the catch phrases that helped you remember the movement we were observing or doing. For example, eyes to the sky for working with babies or when putting on a triangular bandage the 'point to the joint' was so cool. There were many of these real gems that gave you more confidence that you could recall the information when needed under duress. Little bandaging techniques  like when unrolling bandage to  go around the arm unwinding  the rolled bandage as a  ' live snail' and not a 'dead snail'. The use of glad wrap around wounds was another gem. I could go on Johnny our tutor was relaxed, focused and very informative. He was able to see our needs and tailor the discussion to meet those needs. Keep up the good work - I got heaps out of our sort time together.  I forgot to say the online stuff reminded me of the acronyms and important basics leading up to the face to face portion of the mahi.

Great instructor with great information, spoke well and clearly considering all the details of information. 

Our instructor was fantastic! Taras!

I thought Vivian was a very knowledgeable and likable person. He comes across as experienced, patient and knew his content very well. We enjoyed the "Live" scenarios to see what we had learned.

Best First Aid course I have done in 20 years. Tarras was an awesome instructor. He was a good balance of funny, practical activities, interesting and engaging delivery, with new handy tips. 

In all my years of attending first aid courses, Taras has been the best instructor I’ve had. He was engaging, concise, and introduced new material since my previous course. His delivery was effective and he kept to the intended times. Taras treated us as professionals with prior first aid knowledge, and any stories he shared were purposeful and relevant (unlike some previous instructors who share excessive anecdotes that unnecessarily prolong the course). I also appreciated the face shield that was provided, which I have added to my keyring. Overall, it was a great course—thank you.

Was informative an to the point. Very knowledgeable tutor.

Vivian makes it super fun and easy to learn and remember all the details needed to give excellent first aid in any situation. Highly recommended. 

Course was great, facilitator was really kind and knowledgeable.The whole day was a good refresher and update of what's required in first aid nowadays in NZ.

Tara's is a fabulous trainer- the pace of learning is just right, the methods used to help retain information injected with humour are great. If you wanted a trainer for work  Id pick Tara's every time

Taras runs a great course, well delivered, leaving enough time for questions and deeper thinking and delivered in a way that all learners are included.

Excellent refresher course that was well presented and made relatable to everyday situations.
