My husband (Jedi) and I took this class together and it was truly exceptional training. We can't think of a more valuable way to have spent our weekend. Kerry is a phenomenal instructor: knowledgeable, experienced, engaging and entertaining. He has an excellent way of conveying very important life-saving information in a simple, straightforward and memorable manner ("simplicity under stress"). Kerry clearly loves what he does and has tremendous passion for sharing that training with others.
We feel infinitely more confident that we could respond to a wide variety of emergency situations and render aid given the solid foundation Kerry laid for us. There is a very structured and systematic format to the class with lessons building on one another. He also very effectively incorporates video footage and demonstrations into the theoretical aspect of class, and the hands-on practical work in several key scenarios was hugely helpful.
We greatly appreciated that the training handbooks were printed out in bound format containing every slide from his presentation, and given to us at the beginning. Instead of taking copious notes, we could truly focus on the lessons and simply refer to the handbook, while adding a few supplemental points that came up through discussion.
Kerry allows considerable time for questions throughout the class, skillfully weaving them into his instructional format. The "pop quiz" element of repetitive tourniquet application showed just how important practice was to improving our skills and keeping them sharp. We also realized through this training that if anything should ever happen to us, we would have a much greater understanding of the response and treatment we might receive.
It was two days completely packed with learning, and we absolutely loved it. If you want to be prepared for the unexpected and to help yourself, your loved ones and others in a variety of situations from mild to catastrophic, this course is a MUST. You will leave wishing you had taken it long ago, and trust us that Kerry will make a considerable impact on your actions going forward now.
