I recently attended Sky's Advanced Marine First Aid class. She not only packed a huge amount of information into our 4 day course, but made it fun and entertaining as well. Her world-wide mountaineering first aid experience is a valuable asset when it comes to teaching this course. Her life experience, personality, and people skills are a perfect fit for teaching this course. Her willingness to adjust course dates to accommodate clients was duely noted. If you're looking for this course, or any other courses offered by Sky, I highly recommend attending. 👌
