First aider course AAR

Attended 2 Sat 9-5pm First Aider course the past 2 weeks. Learn about the existence of the course through the notice board at my block. Wanted to attend first aider course for quite sometime already but didn't go because of time and money. So I only download videos on internet to learn some basic first aider skills last year.

The course covers quite a broad range of stuff, FROM the very broad and basic knowledge like how to visually identify wounds, accessing what injuries casualty is likely to have suffered, what to do during incidents and etc. TO more specialize skills like bandage and CPR during emergency.

What I like most about the course is the way it was presented. The way knownledge is convey. The instructor shared her life experience, deliver the knowledge in an interactive non-monotone way and videos of real incidents. She really put in extra effort, going beyond whats really required of her to make sure we recieve the message.

Apart from learning about first aid skills from this course, I learn a very different way of conducting a lesson and how a person deserve and gain respects. Setting high standard on one self before you expect high standard from others and how to deliever the knownledge through stories and interactive ways. I must say that the 2 saturday is really well spent.
