Tom was an outstanding First Aid Officer. From the start, he was friendly and approachable, with a great sense of humour that made the session relaxed and engaging. He was straight to the point, very knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. I felt confident and well-informed by the end of the training. Highly recommend Tom.

Tom is a very educated and experienced instructor. He explained all of the concepts of the session very well. I feel much more confident in my CPR and first aid skills. I highly recommend anyone go to the Sandgate deep breath institute if they're looking to do their CPR or first aid certification.

Tom is a fantastic educator!! He's very sharp-witted, and takes the time to explain the physiological and practical reasons why CPR and First Aid is done in a certain way. He has decades of hands-on experience as a paramedic in many different places around the world (his stories are excellent!), and his approach is modern and well-researched. He's a very fun person to be around, and I just got so much more knowledge out of the session than any other CPR/First Aid course I've done. It's well worth going out of your way to do a CPR/First Aid session with Tom!!

I was looking for a training provider to update my CPR this year and found the Deep Breath Institute offered the course at a time that was convenient for me. Tom is extremely knowledgeable and engaging in the way he presents the information. I'll be back next year to update my full First Aid certificate!
