Erin was our teacher. She was fantastic- very clear and taught in a way that we were able to easily recall the information. She put everyone at ease. She also gave time for questions and listened well to everyone. The space was very well managed in our pandemic time. Everything was cleaned and wiped down per government protocols! WELL DONE ERIN!!!!

Kyle is a fantastic instructor. Very educational, relevant and informative. I would recommend this course to anyone and everyone who would like to feel more confident understanding what to do in an emergency. The best CPR/First Aid/BLS course I've attended by far!

In all honesty, this was one of the best BLS-HCP training sessions I've attended. The instructor possessed a wealth of in-the-field knowledge that was invaluable. And what was most refreshing about the session was that we walked through "what" we do in a scenario but also "why" we do it... Class and equipment were clean, social distancing was maintained. Would highly recommend LifeShield.

Larry is an awesome instructor. His use of humour, visuals, repetition, and participant engagement is refreshing; and conducive to a great learning environment. I have to recertify CPR-C annually, and I learned a few new things I am pretty sure I hadn’t heard before. Great job!

In 16 years of training it was by far the best training I have ever gotten. Took the BLS-HCP level. Informative. Interactive. Actually fun!!

Erin ws an AMAZING instructor!! Best recert EVER. On point, practical and kept my attention. Well done!
