This is a great place to get certified safety training! The staff are very capable, friendly and knowledgeable. The course materials are comprehensive as well as hands on. I finished the course feeling capable and well trained. My only minor complaint was the lack of vacuuming in the class room. They need to vacuum more often seeing we were utilizing the floor for training purposes.
Joe Chan is an excellent instructor with a wealth of knowledge! He makes learning first aid memorable with his sense of humour and storytelling. He actively provides his students with positive feedback to ensure they are confident and prepared to administer first aid in any situation. I look forward to renewing my certification in 3 years and hope I get another opportunity to be in Joe’s class again.
Our instructor Joe Chan was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. He received and answered questions enthusiastically and thoroughly. He was also incredibly entertaining with his sharp wit and sense of humour, which made the entire day go by so much faster than it otherwise would have.
Very informative and knowledgeable lecture…presentations and practical work is perfect to teach a new comer. Instructor Joe Chan is a guy with intellectual knowledge and skills. Create fun and learning environment in class Happy to pass this course and become certified first aider.
Joe is a great teacher; he is knowledgeable and made a full day training enjoyable by adding the right amount of humour. He provided a good mix of theory and practice and the different videos he presented were also very useful. I definitely recommend him.
Our instructor was great and clearly very passionate about first aid and made sure we were well equipped in our recertification. I saw reviews on the floor and was laughing but now I know what everyone was talking about. If we are expected to be doing scenarios and rolling all over the floor for 9 hours they should either clean the floor or provide yoga mats because it was truly disgusting. Tips: - If you have long hair put it in a bun on top of your head or your hair is all over that nasty carpet. Wear clothes you don't care about. - Actually bring a lunch like they say in the email, we were only given a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute coffee breaks and the closest place to eat or get a coffee is a 15 min walk. Feedback: -The class should not be as long as it was, it's longer than a work day. For a recertification course especially. The 10+ videos we watched could be sent before hand and the class would be half as long. -That floor... provide yoga mats or rip that nasty carpet out. -Include the pocket mask price in the class fee if it's mandatory.
I attended Joe Chan’s first aid training on December 12, 2022. His presentation was lively. He provided relevant examples and illustrations which helped me to make sense of the applications of the knowledge and skills. He used repetition, a useful technique to help me remember.
Joe Chan is such a wonderful teacher! He always keeps things interesting with relevant anecdotes and is always making us laugh! Great class, I’ll definitely be back in the future for my CPR-C recertification :
Joe Chan was an excellent instructor. Despite the course being lengthy, the learning experience was enjoyable and memorable. Thank you Joe!
I came here to talk in person about what course might be most appropriate to me. I started with the two young women at the front desk, telling them because I arrived late last summer to Grouse Mountain, I ended up needing the assistance of rescue workers and because they told me some people carry first aid kits, I wanted to know what to do with them and wondered which first aid course would be best. It seems this was too cryptic or perhaps open-ended for them and thus began a small ordeal that lasted several minutes, including another young woman from the office area behind the front desk telling me she was told I was looking for first aid for rescue patrol. By this time, I'd become so obviously frustrated that I seemed to attract the attention of two white males further into the office and asked one of them to come over. He said something to the effect of, "Tell me exactly what you need." I tilted my head at him before repeating myself, but it should have been pretty obvious to anyone with a properly working brain that if I already knew that, I wouldn't be talking to them in the first place! This youngish man, maybe a few years younger than my almost 45 said he "wanted the context". I shook my head slightly and told him, "I think I have all the context I need. Thank you." And I slid their business card back to them and left. I don't want to be unfair to St John Ambulance and its services. It just seems that whereas they have procedures for unconscious, non-breathing, pulseless, helpless victims, they are stumped and confused by anyone not currently experiencing a medical emergency who pro-actively poses questions more complicated than "Are they breathing?" During our frustrating exchange, they really seemed to focus on my employer I'm unemployed. It seems they're used to an employer making arrangements or creating demand for courses, individuals with individual needs seeking reasonable preparedness and education on how to use a first aid kit or deal with plausible emergencies away from a workplace and the immediate access of ambulances or other medical personnel. If you come here expecting informed, rational people with good understanding and judgement when it comes to their own courses the best fit between your individual needs and the training they provide, you may be disappointed that all they offer in-person is inexplicable frustration and misunderstanding to the point of antagonism to your autonomous existence and human experience. Don't come here unless you want your time wasted by blank stares, misunderstandings usually attributed to special ed students and poorly enunciated English. If however, you know their ways, it is possible to be served by these clumsy, inefficent, broken ATM-like "humans" functioning within a preprocessed, predictable, and unrealistically artificial context. Like a workplace.
