Testimonials
Two days into my position at the shopping centre, a pregnant female had gone into a seizure in the women's washroom and I was the only available party to attend. 16 hours of a certification course did not prepare me for the anxiety I experienced being faced with a real life scenario. Anxiety not only slows your thought process, but also engages you to react, rather than to respond.
I have been certified every year since then through Medics In Action, a course taught by actual Advanced Care Paramedics. I can attest to the fact that I have learned more in this style of training compared with other training being offered else where. I have also retained more based on visualization techniques and dynamic real life scenarios.
When faced with a real life emergency, at the forefront of our minds is not text book knowledge, but habit (described in the dictionary as "an acquired behaviour pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary").
I have been a trained first aider for about 17 years now and have never experienced a course like this. Medics in Action focuses not only on the information provided in the books but on scene management and practical experience. Over the past 10 years I have been a hockey trainer for multiple organizations at all different levels and age groups. Over these years I have purchased many of my supplies from Medics in Action. They sell great quality products and the price is right. I have always been able to get the supplies that I have needed when I needed them. Medics in Action also helped me with some advice as to what products I should have in my first aid kit as well as how much of each product. I would recommend Medics in Action to anyone who is either looking for a superior education in first aid or just some products for their first aid kit.

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for the class you taught a few weeks ago. I was in that class, and had I not been, I would not have been able to help my family member on Christmas Day.
I was able to stay calm and think strategically to give the 911 operator all the information that was required.
When the paramedics arrived, I met them at the elevator and gave them a complete detailed over view of the situation so they were able to get in there and administer help quicker.
just wanted to thank you for all that you do. My familt member is fine by the way, and she's on the mend.
