“Did a CPR refresher. Reminded me of the things I'd missed or forgotten about. Got it done and got out. Highly recommend. Of the 10 or so of these I've done, this is the first that actually felt like a useful refresher and not just trying to stay awake to check the boxes.”

“The AlertForce course for Enter and Work in Confined Spaces was very comprehensive and informative. John is a very experienced worker and instructor, which enhanced the training experience for all of the class, he answered all our questions from both the health and safety, and legal perspective, and would also use his own real-world experiences to demonstrate the answers. Thank you AlertForce Team and John, I'll recommend your courses to anybody who's looking for training.”
