    I'm an international student in Canada. I got my first aid and CPR certificate through FPA. It was really nice, the instructor was good and very professional. It's good training too because you can use it at home if there is an emergency to help protect your neighborhood.

    I took this course to learn CPR and first aid. If any critical situations come about we can assist and help out. The process has been excellent. The team guided us with tips and the course was laid out perfectly and answered all questions.

    I completed the security and CPR courses here because it is required to become a security guard in Ontario. I felt the price was quite reasonable because I got the bundle discount. The staff guided me through the process and that guidance made it so much easier for me. The instructor took their time to make sure I understood all the concepts too.
