Here's what some of our clients have to say about our service:
“We were delighted to have Safe & Sound First Aid Training Ltd. come and provide our nursing staff at St. Michael’s Centre with First Aid and CPR Training for the second time. Gill McCulloch who is the Director of Safe & Sound was so helpful and flexible with our needs. We picked dates that worked for our staff and Gill was so accommodating. We found that the price was extremely reasonable compared to the other companies out there. And finally the most important reason why we keep choosing Safe & Sound First Aid Training is because of the top notch instructors. We really value the outstanding instructors that have been providing us with the education. They have been extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun. This really helps keep our staff interested and excited about First Aid & CPR training. We look forward to having them back again soon!
Thank you Safe & Sound!!!”

“It has been a pleasure to know the staff and instructors of Safe & Sound First Aid Training Ltd; whether serving you over the phone or providing services during the course, their genuine willingness to help their clients is extraordinary and makes you feel special. The Instructor that I took the course with was a former university professor in medicine and needless to say, every aspect of the training was handled very professionally. I highly recommend Safe & Sound to anyone who is considering doing a First Aid or CPR course. I am confident that your experience and learning will be as fulfilling.”

“Our son really enjoyed the babysitting course he took through Safe and Sound First Aid Training, and came away from it with a solid foundation of first aid and practical child care skills. He appreciated the film at the beginning about the Red Cross because it gave context for the rest of the day, loved the way Gill taught the course and her easygoing yet very informative and encouraging approach, and he particularly enjoyed the first aid part of the day. He now feels he has the training he needs to look after younger children and is confident that if a child gets injured while he is in charge, he would know what to do and how to do it until further help arrived if necessary. We found the online registration incredibly easy and efficient and as parents feel very comfortable that our son will be able to handle a variety of different situations as a result of taking the course, whether he is looking after someone else’s children or is just at home on his own. As involved community members we are often asked for recommendations for first aid or babysitting training, and we readily refer our friends and colleagues to Safe and Sound.”
Sincerely,
Sue and Pat Bugos

“I have been so busy but I wanted to drop in a note to thank you.
I recently moved to British Columbia from Montreal, Quebec (English is my first language) and as my St John Ambulance card was ready to expire I registered and attended your training course.
Over the years I have taken many courses in order to keep updated and as working with children feel it very important to be doing so.
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful course that you offer. The trainer was excellent, exciting and the equipment and set up you have is number one. I compliment you on taking pride in your business and in the very professional way your course is offered and instructed.
It gave me the desire to look into the possibility of becoming a trainer myself :) would be a different experience teaching adults as my students are usually quite small :)
Again I thank you.”

The staff walk away with invaluable knowledge that they learned in a relaxed and fun environment.
The Red Cross first aid programs Gill offers are convenient and economical for our large group. We are truly grateful for Gill's expertise and experience. We are confident that the children in our care will be safe because of the skills taught to the staff through Safe and Sound First Aid Training Ltd.

“I represent child care providers who have taken the Child Safe first aid course with Gill. The feed back that I received was excellent. Some of the comments were "she presented well," "all the topics were covered", "the information was clearly given," "I would take this course with Gill again." It has been a pleasure working with Gill to present these first aid courses.”

“I hosted my first Safe and Sound First Aid Training course in my home after the birth of our first child. I had quite a few friends who had all had their first children around the same time and we all really felt that it was a good idea for us to have some formal first aid training. With a new baby around there are plenty of other things to worry about and I wanted the peace of mind that I would be able to react quickly in an emergency situation.
We were all so pleased with our instructor Gill McCulloch. She made us all feel so relaxed, and being a Mom herself she was able to give us fantastic advice that we knew was practical and realistic. We all finished the course that day feeling like we possessed the knowledge needed to make our homes safe for our little ones.
The very next day after our first aid course my family was at dinner at a friend's house when my son started to choke on a piece of ham. Everyone at the table was very surprised at how calm I stayed and how efficiently I was able to get the situation under control. I know that had he choked two days prior I would have done the wrong thing and most definitely panicked. Thankfully he was OK, and the rest of the dinner went off without a hitch.
I had my second child 2 years ago and it was very helpful to have my first aid books still around to re-baby-proof our house again.
So here I am, ready to renew my first aid certificate. Not only for my own personal use, but because I also take care of several of my friend's children. I have had no problem at all in having friends sign up to take the course again. We all loved learning from Gill and being able to take the course in the relaxed environment of my home. I would highly recommend the Red Cross Emergency Child Care First Aid Training Course to all parents and care-givers.”
Sincerely,
Shannon Hyde
Dear Gill,
Thank you so much for making the Red Cross Emergency First Aid course not only informative but also very interesting. Your enthusiasm really left an impression. I have since made up my own first aid kit and feel much more skilled if called upon. Very glad to have attended your group in May and would recommend it.
Sincerely,
Pat. H,
Dear Gill,
I am writing to thank you very much for coming to our house to share your first aid expertise with us. Richard and I and our friends and family learned a great deal in our Infant-Child CPR class and I am sure I speak for all of us when I say that we now feel confident to handle any first aid emergencies that (God forbid!) may arise with our babies. Your relaxed and confident presentation of the lifesaving techniques enabled us to catch on quickly and to easily commit them to memory. Also, we appreciated the many tips on childproofing our house and we have completed our safety checklist! Once again, we give your our most sincere thanks.
Deborah and Richard Armstrong,
