    "The instructor was very informative. There was a few updated information that was very helpful to learn. Some of the techniques back in the day are no longer in use. I also learned somethings that was never taught in my previous classes. I would suggest everyone in taking this course if you don't mind saving a life. There were also some hands-on trainings to make sure you are doing things correctly. Plus, the cost is very reasonable. "
