Testimonials

"By far the best first aid training I have ever done. Loved that you used real life examples — no one else has ever done that in the other first aid courses I've attended."

"I recently did the first aid course including CPR and highly recommend everybody to do it, especially with Gary. I've done a few now with different trainers and Gary is by far the best."

"I've attended many courses over the years with Red Cross, First Response, QAS and St John First Aid, and your course has been the most useful, informative and enjoyable of them all."

"A fun session, yet very educational. I love the way you keep things simple — so we are not overwhelmed by it all, but able to remember all the important stuff."

"You made the first aid training fun with your outgoing personality. With your witty humour you managed to get people to listen and kept everybody's interest going over the entire 2-day period."

"By far it was the best and most interesting First Aid course I have ever been on, and I have done my certificate 3 or 4 times. The knowledge passed on and the reasons behind it were invaluable."

"We had a bloke have a heart attack at work. I was given a real easy time by the investigators because I did everything by the book, and could explain what everyone was supposed to do and why."

"I'm glad I chose Cairns First Aid for CPR training. It was the best First Aid training I've received. Understanding the body's systems helped me understand the why's and how's of what we do."

"The wealth of knowledge I absorbed from your class paid off today. A lady fell backwards hitting her head on the tarmac — I provided first aid until the ambulance arrived and all was ok."

"You are a most dynamic and engaging teacher and I really enjoyed learning from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom in such an accessible manner. It is a truly honourable service."

"Thanks for the wonderful course, it was both interesting and fun and you are a very good instructor! I feel much better knowing I could actually help in a situation now."

"Thank you very much for a very informative and enjoyable day. We both came away feeling confident and refreshed and look forward to courses with yourself in the future."

"I would just like to say thank you for the last 2 days. You are fantastic at your job — I'm so glad I chose your company for my training."

"Last month I saved a man's life thanks to your wonderful training! He was bitten by a brown snake — I kept calm and applied the compression bandage. He recovered fully and thanked me for saving his life."

"Feedback from the staff all agrees — your presentation and style was enjoyed immensely. He's done numerous first aid courses and yours was by far the best, most practically informative and enjoyable."

"It was the best first aid course I have done in my 12 years or so of doing them. Understanding the why of things certainly makes a difference to my learning."

"I got a lot out of the course and you were a very good teacher. I feel very confident in my First Aid abilities now and if I do need to use my new skills I will do so without hesitation."

"I did enjoy your training and it was honestly the best first aid course I have been to in over 15 years of doing regular updates."

"I would like to thank you for today's training — it was relaxed, informative and removed a lot of the useless information, replacing it with real world knowledge."

"It was fantastic to attend a course run by such a knowledgeable trainer who is extremely passionate for the subject and his students, ensuring every student fully comprehends the material."

"I have done a lot of first aid courses with different organisations and your 'real life' approach is the best I have seen. Great job mate!"

"Gary's natural ability to deliver the important content in a very digestible way was outstanding — he raised the bar of what I expect from first aid trainers."

"By far the best and most useful first aid course I have done. Great trainer — the penny drops and it finally clicks."

"Fantastic training. Would definitely use this company again for myself and my team. Gary made sure we all understood every part of the course before moving on."

"I honestly learnt more from this course than other trainings I've done. You explained it all well and simple as well as entertaining."

"Out of all the first aid trainings I have sat through, yours is actually the only one I have learnt something useful from. I found myself telling my mum about what I learnt."

"I have had several of the inspectors comment how much they enjoyed the training — 'Gary is so down to earth', 'It was the best first aid training we have had.'"

"I found the day training with you was very easy to follow and to understand. From my first email enquiry to receiving the certificate, I commend the speed and organisation."

"My boys and I really got a lot out of your course. It was informative, relevant, confidence inspiring and delivered with passion, enthusiasm and good humour."

"Thanks so much for a fantastic class! You made it interesting and I wanted to listen. That's what makes a great teacher."
