Recommendation
"Your First Aid training came in very useful during a recent group trip when one of our clients had an epileptic seizure on the coach. Thanks to your training, I was able to confidently deal with the situation. Afterwards, three members of the party complimented me, which I felt put our Project in a good/ professional light."
