Testimonials
When entering the room and meeting Debbie the instructor, she made the class feel warm and made it easy to learn with the subjects at hand. When asked a question about something, if she didn’t have the answer, she would have it pretty quick. She is very easy to deal with and also made it fun to learn. I had never taken first aid before, and I felt it was focused on the topics of first aid and learning how to save someone’s life when needed. Debbie is a great teacher and has a lot of information in the matters of first aid. She knows how to slow someone down to ensure the student knows what to do without panicking when someone needs help. I would take the course again if Debbie was the trainer.
I have taken first aid training numerous times, but thoroughly enjoyed the first aid training you provided. You utilized a variety of unique training methods that were fun and effective. I really enjoyed and appreciated the real life scenarios that everyone participated in. I definitely feel more confident in my abilities to perform first aid.
Fantastic course! Fun with the scenarios and props. Jeopardy game was a blast too!

Ms. Debbie is a terrific instructor. I love how hands on this course was. She kept the class motivated, active, interesting and fun at the same time. I finished the course feeling completely confident with what I learned.
Blue-Con Excavating Ltd. ordered and received the HeartSine Samaritan PAD SAM 350P for our office and shop workers. It is extremely easy to use and is a great value for the peace of mind we now have. The training provided to our entire team was clear and helpful for all levels of experience in first aid. While we hope we never have to use it, the entire staff feels comfortable knowing we have this potential life saving device so easily accessible.
Thanks for making us hero’s!
I’m not usually one for interactive courses, but Debbie was pretty good at making the class comfortable.
The class was great! The scenarios and jeopardy session was a great way to combine everything that was learned during the morning.
Awesome Class! Very practical. I loved the real life cases. The instructor was very knowledgeable and fun – Strongly recommend it! Thank you for a great class – learned a lot!
Great course! The time just flew by! Deb kept it interesting by having lots of practice and different situations that might occur.
I needed this information to help my co-workers and my kids. I received the information I needed to help both! 🙂 Thank you!
I think first aid should be like riding a bicycle or learning to swim; you should only need to learn it once in your lifetime – This class was very good! Loved it!! 🙂
Very good mix of hands on scenario’s and slides. Kept the course engaging & informative.
The course was great and easy to stay engaged. I learned about some new first aid equipment that I want to add to my kit! Thanks alot!
I loved Deb’s passion for helping participants understand and feel confident when in emergency situations to be able to administer first aid when necessary. Deb made it fun with games and was able to handle off topic situations and helped people get back on track, so time was not wasted!
Thank you for a great experience with First Aid. I have taken the course a few times and found yours to be the most knowledgeable, interactive and overall best learning experience. Best First Aid I have taken!

Best course yet! Great scenario training. Awesome Job!
Working case scenarios was a brilliant way to set examples!
Excellent course! I feel much more confident in being able to provide emergency aid.
It certainly was a pleasure to have such a wonderful trainer that maintained focus, clarified with examples, and was able to teach a variety of skills using scenarios while maintaining a level of fun.
The approach to training was fun and became a great team builder at the same time. I would not hesitate to recommend Debbie to others and certainly feel more confident using these skills after attending this course
Firstly, I would like to thank Debbie for the fantastic session that was delivered – I was really impressed.

The length of the training was perfect, and she was able to keep everyone engaged. I feel very confident about what I have learnt. The training was well delivered by Debbie and tailored to meet my need and she kept it fun and interactive.

10/10 class. Great instructor and skills!
Fantastic course! Debbie was great and engaging. She kept everyone on their toes!
What a difference creativity makes! Our employees are used to the same old First Aid Class where they can hardly wait for it to end. Debco’s training class was unique in presentation, using props to create realistic trauma situations. As a result the employees were more engaged in the class and all walked away feeling like they actually received quality training. For the first time the word to other employees will be “you should take that training if you can” not, “it was just the same boring training we always get”. Thank you Debco – you are “FIRST CLASS” with Blue-Con Excavating Ltd.
Great course! Fun, not dry!
It was engaging and I wasn’t dying of boredom. Best CPR course I’ve ever done!

Very well presented. Gives a good sense of knowledge to follow a method, and then meet a challenge.
Very in depth and hands-on. I gained knowledge and more confidence in the important skills of First Aid.
Deb was able to bring first aid to life with great hands-on exercises and great interaction from start to finish. People learn in a variety of ways and Deb used multiple complementary methods to keep us engaged, she added humour and personal experience, and made the two days a great investment for us all. Well done!
It was absolutely interesting! I never realized how important first aid is. I was very thankful that you gave personal stories of situations that you came upon. I thought it must’ve been very hard for you to talk about them. So I want to thank you for sharing. Honestly I have no negative points at all. I’m very grateful that you have chosen this path it really does show your passion.
Deb is very knowledgeable and willing to give feedback about any question and/or situation. Enjoyable and absolutely educational!
Wow! What a great course. I had never taken a first aid course before and I was shocked with what I didn’t know. Debbie was a great instructor, the scenarios were realistic, and it truly gets you prepared for situations you can encounter any day. It was also incredible timing as I was preparing to be a new dad and I feel so much better (same with his mom) having this training before he was born just in case anything were to happen. I highly recommend Debbie for this course and your confidence will increase after you take it.
Thank you!
Great instructional techniques – questioning, role play, visuals. Very high level of student engagement!

Catapult Environmental Inc. recently contracted Debbie Chene to conduct an in-house Red Cross First Aid/CPR Training. Catapult incorporates safety as a core value in our daily operations, and would like to thank Debbie for what I believe as one of the best real life First Aid Training/CPR courses I have ever taken in my 20+ years in the oil and gas sector. Debbie was able to bring the training to a level that I know will impact and potentially save a life. Her training made it simple to remember what’s truly important for a First Aider, the ABC’s.
Thank you Debbie for your training expertise and impacting each and everyone at Catapult Environmental Inc. Your course has given us both the basic skills and the confidence to potentially change the outcome of an unfortunate event.
