We've had the First Aid and CPR course taught to on two separate occasions now, through Don't Skip a Beat, and both times have been excellent. Laura is great and talking specifics with our team and helping us to understand the relevance in our specific work environment. Having the course taught at our business location worked great for our schedule too. The course was engaging and we feel more confident with the team being certified, so we can utilize the skills both personally and professionally! Overall a great course, great value, and very professional.

Laura is truly one of the best CPR instructors I have ever had the pleasure of been taught by! She explained concepts so clearly, effectively, and systematically that I left feeling confident that I know what to do in an emergency situation. Laura has the gift of teaching and she is genuinely a lovely person. You will be pleased that you trusted her with your learning needs.
