What attendees are saying about these invaluable first aid workshops

About an hour ago my 2 year old daughter swallowed a 5 cent

piece and wasn't able to breathe. The look on her face was terrifying. Thankfully, you helped me be prepared and know what to do. After the 5 back blows she spluttered, wretched and must've gotten the coin out of her airway as she started breathing again. It was honestly the most terrifying thing I've been through with my kids.

Thanks again for giving me the information to be able to handle the situation.

Last month my 11 month old daughter suffered a febrial

convulsion whilst in my arms and stopped breathing. He mouth and lips went blue & purple and she had a full convulsive fit. She had a fever that rose quickly and becuase of your course, i recognised the signs of what was happening, placed her in the recovery postion on the floor till the fit stopped and called the ambulance. Although a terrifiying experience as i was home on my home own, i kept calm and felt in control knowing i had the knowledge to help me daughter through.

I thought you should know what a difference it made to me in a emergency situation. My husband had not done the course and booked it and did it straight after, as he would not have known what to do. Thank you.

My husband and I attended your recent Woollahra course

after being very scared by a choking incident with our nine month old daughter the week before. What a great course! Alan was a wonderful presenter. He had so much great hands on experience. His stories kept things lively as well as illustrated the skills we need in a way that I'll remember. I also found it invaluable how he explained the cause of different injuries/conditions and the reason a particular treatment worked.

I've been surprised this past week how such a simple investment could make me feel more confident as a parent, but it really has.

In December I took my 12 year old daughter with me to one

of your first aid courses. This was in anticipation of her babysitting for others in the next few years.

Today it paid an unexpected dividend. As she and her 11 year old brother got off the bus and crossed the road, the young woman walking in front of them collapsed.

My 11 year old instinctively put out his hand to catch her head. My daughter moved the young woman to a safer place on the road by an island and placed her in the recovery position.

She then enlisted the help of an adult asking them to call the ambulance.

We just wanted to say a big thank you for the excellent

first aid course at Crows Nest on Saturday. We found the course was very practical and helpful and thought that Craig was a fantastic presenter. Knowing of his extensive experience and hearing his stories was great but we also found him to be very clear and good at reinforcing the main points.

Our poster is up to remind us of the things covered in the course. Hopefully we won't need to use what we've learnt but it's good to feel prepared..

I was amazed at how logical and simple so many first aid steps

for various situations are! Things have changed since learning all those complicated and confusing procedures in P.E. at high school! After realising how simple (and obviously life-changing) first aid really is I cannot help but wonder why it isn't compulsory for everyone to learn first aid! The fee is peanuts when compared to the value of what is learnt.

I would definitely recommend KFA to family and friends...

this information is best presented by KFA (Paramedic)...not passed on second hand. Really informative and kept encouraging us to be proactive rather than petrified.
