The speaker has a voice that leads to understanding even if our mother language is not English !
Moreover, the structure and the frequent reminder and wrap up are indeed the best tools in a 5 weeks course.
Thanks !

One of the best courses I have ever taken in this genre. The simulations were an excellent tool and the presenter was superb. If I could have I would have enrolled in a more advanced course on this topic with George.

I found the course extremely informative and helpful. I will say I am not sure that the test questions were particularly well drafted. They did not always seem to follow along with what was presented in the session.

This course was an excellent aid in understanding what needs to be done (and why they need to be done) to help others (as well as yourself) when disasters occur. It was interesting, enlightening and well delivered.

The practice course contains a clear stress relief algorithm. The course is available for study, you do not need in-depth knowledge of psychology to start learning. PFA takes a little time to study - about 10 hours.

I enjoy this course a lot because there are video examples of how a person can demonstrate the skills and Dr George teach really well. I just hope we can see the correct answer to the questions we answered wrongly.
