I just finished my first aid levels 1,2 and 3 this week in Cape Town. It was absolutely amazing. such a positive experience and now I have the necessary knowledge and even more! Would definitely recommend this place as the personnel is friendly and very experienced in the field of medics and teaches you more then they have to. They don’t pressure you with tests and you walk out feeling so confidant.
