Tom Enser is an amazing instructor. He shares the valuable information in a manner that keeps you interested and involved. He has taught CPR/First Aid at our school for many years. I wouldn’t consider another company. First Response Safety Training is the best!

I recently completed a CPR training course with karissa Hollenbeck, and I found it incredibly informative and well-structured. The course covered essential topics, including adult, child, and infant CPR, as well as AED usage and choking response.
The instructor was knowledgeable and passionate about teaching, making complex concepts easy to understand. The hands-on practice sessions were particularly valuable, allowing us to apply what we learned and receive immediate feedback.

Toy
My First Aid/CPR class was led by Tom and he’s the best instructor I’ve ever had. What I appreciated most is that He’s prompt (arrived on time) and is very engaging- he really kept it interesting by sharing personal anecdotes that were entertaining and educational at the same time. Tom’s teaching style is great because he made it easier to remember lots of very important info by telling stories that stick with you. I highly recommend. Thanks Tom!
