What our students say
I think this was the best first aid session I’ve done in my 10 years at UQ. The small class size made it easier to ask questions, check technique, gain understanding of why we perform certain actions and have one-on-one time. Jo was experienced and presented herself in a calm, relaxed manner, which made us assured. I have come away with more hands-on experience and confidence than ever before. Thank you!
