It was a really good experience; the content, lectures and videos were excellent and helpful.
I recommend it to anyone especially if he was in the medical career.
A very thorough course, going through the fundamentals of being an EMT. It helped me to learn new skills and refresh on my old ones. Definitely recommend for anyone to do.
The presenters were very informed and the information was delivered in a very structured and easy-to-follow manner. The reference materials followed this pattern as well.
