Your certification basically buys you a three year membership. The staff wants to make sure you are clear and confident as an OFA, they want you to get it, they are in the business of saving lives and counting on their students to have the knowledge and ability make a difference with this new found knowledge. Highly recommend 10/10

An Exceptional First Aid Training Course…read more I had an incredible experience with the first aid training, thanks to Ms. Amandeep's outstanding teaching. Her clear instructions and warm, professional demeanor made it easy to understand essential first aid skills, from proper glove handling to effective communication during emergencies and scene management. The provided comprehensive 18-chapter material was immensely helpful, and the practical knowledge I gained feels invaluable. Ending with a 30-minute test, I successfully passed and received a certificate. Huge thanks to Amandeep and the training center for equipping me with life-saving skills that benefit both my personal and professional life.

I would never have spent money on a provider that employers do not recognize; I specifically spent more money and an additional day of my time to increase my chances of getting hired, and now I have to repay a whole new certification as this is not even recognized as the most basic one; it is a worthless piece of paper in terms of employment. Only choose if you just want the knowledge for yourself and do not see it as a job certification.

This is an instructor issue because there were three other people that I ran into from this particular instructor who did their class & exam through another provider - & - uhhh, passed.

Would never recommend nor attend a TraumaTech class even if it was given for free!

Trauma Tech has a great reputation in the first aid community for a reason.

This review is from June 2023! I registered online for the "Emergency First-Aid and CPR Level C -…read moreVancouver BC course. " The course is offered in 2 different formats: hybrid, and in person. I learn better in-person so I signed up for the 1-day course that ran from 8:30am - 5:00pm. We covered a LOT of material and the instructor went really fast! I'm a native English speaker and I thought, wow, this is hard for me to keep up so I can only imagine how this would be for a learner where English was not their first language. Just warning you! I bet it's because the instructor had a LOT of content to cover so I guess I don't blame them. The class is mostly lecture style with a few hands-on components. For example, for the CPR part, we worked with a partner and practiced on a dummy. At the end, you have to take a written quiz. If you pass, you are handed a certificate and you can take it home the same day! I think it's a convenient location too because it's about a 10 minute walk away from the sky train station. So, lots of things to consider. I would recommend it if you need a certificate in a short amount of time. Overall the whole process was super quick!

InFocus, like all private colleges is all about getting tuition from students, especially…read moreinternational students who cannot properly investigate the school. This is by far and away their only priority and the instruction in film production is far down the list. Their projects are intentionally scheduled after you pass certain dates of enrollment to make sure you are on the hook for tuition before you do anything meaningful. Some instructors are good but most have limited experience and there are a limited number of film production opportunities in the Greater Vancouver area especially which is why so many are working at private colleges where there is little accountability or oversight. They change courses after you enroll so the courses you sign up for are not likely to be the courses you are given. As others have said, the administration and organization is in constant disarray with high turnover among administration and instructors. Equipment is substandard and they often charge for damage to equipment that occured prior to you checking the gear out. Students who aren't trained or understand the equipment are given the responsibility to check the equipment out and inspect the equipment then staff familiar with the equipment and how to properly check for damage check in the equipment and charge for damage students couldn't have known to check for. When you do finally make your projects you'll have a lot of limitations placed on you even though you are funding and making your own films and the tiny amount of money the school contributes to a limited number of students in your own cohort is just giving limited funds back to "some" of the students. You'll be stuck working with film students, some of which are unrelaible, lazy or have become fed up with the program by the time you do your projectsand the even better part is they have to me in key roles. It's a very poor quality program that isn't worth your money and if you mention to people in the film community that you went there they often don't even recognize the name. If you watch Youtube videos you'll be way ahead of this program. Take the money you would spend on any film college and make films you want to make without being limited. There are lots of people who are willing to help as there are a lot of indy film makers wanting to work on projects and people wanting to gain experience.
