Thank you to Nancy and her team at Lismore for providing such a fabulous 1st aid course yesterday. Thanks so much for such a comfortable and inviting learning environment yesterday. Out of the 5 I have attended over the years yours was the most engaging and informative and the hands on expertise was second to none. Thank Alf & Dave as well they did a fantastic job. I highly recommend your services and will continue to do so in the future.
