The explanations are simple and easy to follow. The scenarios help to build confidence, so we know exactly what to do in a real situation. Recommended for anyone who wants essential safety skills.

Great training, clear and concise explanations, I will only add more animations or some extra examples to be able to surpass the e-learning teaching limitations. Other than that, is it a great training.
