Anonymous Feedback Comments (click for more):

• "The course blew my expectations out of the water."

• "I was ... in denial about what could go wrong in a hike. I feel much more prepared now. Everyone who hikes should take this course!"

 

• "It was the *very best* first aid I ever attended and I've attended many."

• "The numerous examples of hands-on practice in evaluating, moving and treating patients gave us lots of practice in applying what we learned."

• "Best instructor on the East Coast (based on 4 other courses)."

• "The encyclopedia knowledge of the instructor. The instructor's willingness to address questions, and willingness to provide individualized attention."

• "When I walked in the door, the idea of being responsible for someone in a back-country {or disaster} medical emergency was terrifying.  Now I feel confident that I can help."

• "Shortly after receiving my WFA cert ... I was one of the first to arrive at the rolled SUV and assessed the scene. Most of the emergent volunteers were milling around the SUV, wondering what to do ... I took control to treat her ... Police and fire/rescue had not yet arrived, although plenty of 911 calls went out ... I credit being able to successfully treat my 'patient' to your WFA training."

• "Take the class, Save a life!"
