A very thoroughly presented training session on CPR, with so many real life examples in a detailed manner and tuned to the ability of the group. A balanced presentation of theory and practical material, mixed with realistic role modelling. This is why I continue to enrol in Peter's CPR & First Aid courses over the past few years.
