FAB training was formed in 2015.
One morning I woke up and decided to leave my high flying corporate job in marketing and do sometime completely different, something that could save lives.
In a previous life I had been giving First Aid courses mainly to scouts, that was a long long time ago, things had changed, dramatically.
I went back to school. I updated myself on the latest First Aid guidelines. I passed my education certification and with the support of friends, FAB was 'born'.
I now enjoy teaching people from all walks of life how they can make a difference in the lives of others.
I enjoy enjoy teaching individuals as much as I enjoy teaching larger groups. I also love to share the First Aid story with children.
My dream?
My biggest wish is that First aid will become a topic taught in every School. Can you imagine how many lives that will save in the future? And what a great skill and confidence to have as an individual.
