Public Course Reviews

“The session gave me confidence to know what to do if something goes wrong, especially around choking and CPR. The class was super clear and practical, the manikins were really helpful to practise with, and the take-home resources are so useful.”

- Jessica (via Google reviews)
"We recently travelled from Tauranga to attend an in-person infant CPR course. It was well worth the trip. I now feel much more confident and know how to respond if something happens."

- Nicole (via Google reviews)
"I attended an & Breathe first aid course last year. It was far more valuable than the full 8 hour course required for work! The real-time feedback and positive teaching made the whole experience such a great one."
