Incredible knowledge by the instructors, great teachers, very nice venue and a very good feed. Thank you

Really well organised, efficient and super friendly team. Would love to be one of your members.

It was a wonderful experience. I would like to thank the organisers and also most importantly our trainers Will, Brian, Nat, Fiona and Jess, for their immense support and making it an unforgettable experience.

The course met my expectations and needs for quality CPD. Your communication throughout was very helpful. Thank you for the manual and the online modules to prepare my engagement with the practical session. The facilitators were approachable and knowledgeable and provided a safe environment for learning.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ALS 2 course that I attended over the weekend. It was challenging but the four instructors were so knowledgeable, highly experienced and always helpful. They made it a great learning experience overall. I was able to refresh my knowledge and practice some new skills. Thank you everyone for your help! Thoroughly worthwhile and, although challenging, so enjoyable!

Hi, I attended ARC ALS part 1 on 17th June 2023, and I just want to say it was an amazing workshop. Pat and Allison did such an amazing job. They were both engaging, kind and full of encouragement. They answered all questions thoroughly and allowed us to develop our skills in a systematic manner. Really enjoyed the group dynamics. Thank you for such a great experience!

Thank you Asuman for your effort and support. I benefited greatly from the course.

Pat and Alison were great. Really supportive environment. Obvious real experience so some great tips.

Very compact and excellent course. Lovely teachers

An excellent course which contained wonderful and relevant content and gave participants plenty of opportunity to practice skills. I finished more confident in my knowledge and skills than when I started. Our facilitator helped me to overcome my weaknesses whilst complimenting my strengths. I found her presence reassuring and encouraging. I liked being part of a group engaged in learning together

Excellent facilitation and teaching by Dale Gorrie. Good venue and stimulating discussion and skills stations. The manual is rich with information and a valuable resource.

All went well. Thank you for such an interactive course.

I had the best time on the course. Dale and Nicole made the day really fun and it was very relaxed. This is the best way to learn and I come away from the day revived and grateful. Thank you

Very interactive lectures and great sims.

Many thanks to the faculty for providing such a great learning environment and their patience and guidance.

Hi, Thank you for your good program.

Educator was very engaging and encouraging, the course was interactive and really good. Feeling confident in ALS after the course! Thank you

Enjoyed whole day! Very appropriate/relevant, informative and testing. Didn’t doze off once!!!

Very informed instructors ran a comprehensive course in a relatively short period of time. Thank you to all of the instructors!

I attended ALS1 at Pullman on the Park with Jolly and Matt as my educators - they were both fantastic! Thanks for a wonderful day. They taught the topics so well, and had a really great sense of humour that made me feel relaxed. I was a bit nervous being a nurse from a small regional hospital who doesn’t see that many arrests but the manual I read prior really set me up well for the topics covered. Jolly and Matt gave some real life scenarios and their knowledge and experiences as professionals really made them wonderful teachers. Food provided was delicious and the environment was really comfortable. Thanks again!

Great course, well run and kept to time making sure those with early flights and rostered shifts could get away early. Good teaching and training personnel - all were able to provide personal experience and insights that added value to the manual based curriculum.

Excellent interactive small groups run by clinicians who are on top of their game and know how to present. Love that it is accredited for 4 years and acknowledged internationally. Thank you for a great day.

Bodie was amazing! So knowledgeable and the session was great / interactive. The small session size (6 people) allowed us to ask questions and was very comforting. Would recommend to everyone.

What an amazing day. The lecturers interacted with all the students. The food was also good and plenty of it. Facilities were clean and spacious. I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thankyou again.

I think Asuman was a fantastic instructor. Very smart and very helpful. It was a valuable course.

An excellent course with a very experienced and friendly teacher. Great work!

Excellent Course Material and Gordon was very professional and yet friendly in his approach!

The course was very organised and informative, especially the teachers are very skilled and approachable. Food was good too thanks.

Many thanks to Kate and her team for their teaching and thoroughness.

Excellent work by instructors Vanessa, Andy and Josh.

Really informative, enjoyable couple of days. Vanessa, Leanne, Cheryl and Yolanda were fantastic and taught in such an understandable manner. Thank you very much!

Bodie was a great course instructor! Super knowledgeable and a great teacher!

Very professional and informative workshop.

Really enjoyable and educational Course. Great faculty with a lot of experience.

Great course. Well organized. Great facilitators. A good mesh of theory, practical application and simulations.

Second time have done this Course. Last time 3+ years ago - Cairns Qld. This course much improved/ trainers much more in tune with learners educational needs. Thank you

It was a fabulous training day. Andrea was excellent fun and patience with use all. Can highly recommend this to my colleagues.

Very well organised course with knowledgeable staff who tried their best to make this course run smoothly with empathy and an ability to reduce stress while getting their teaching points across.

It was a very well organised program and I thoroughly enjoyed the program.

Did my PAL's yesterday here in Adelaide. The instructor was amazing and provided constructive feedback during the scenarios. The workshops and lectures throughout the day were very informative.

Great course with great teachers. Thank you. Really enjoyed it!!!

Nat that was absolutely fantastic. You actually made blood gases interesting and fun, which blew me away. And that was a marker of the quality of the delivery of this course - really fantastic.

Fantastic instructors. Well run.

Course was delivered in a supportive and collaborative way. Lots of opportunities to practice various scenarios.

Educators were fantastic, highly knowledgeable and very supportive. I would recommend this course to my colleagues.

Great presenters, great venue, good food. Thank you!

Much much more engaging than expected. Just thought it'd be a long, boring, and nerve wracking weekend that would make me feel maybe a little dumb, but knew it'd probably be good for me. Turns out it was a genuinely all round enjoyable experience, one of the more positive medical education experiences I've had. Excellent faculty, each member. Clearly comfortable with each other and their knowledge and this helped us as students feel more at ease. In a similar vein the way in which it was facilitated made the group of participants quickly comfortable with each other. Very supportive bunch of candidates despite varying expertise. I liked that we stayed with the same group for scenarios the next day, as we felt safe/like we could mess up with them if that makes sense. Loved the little games that were brought in. Targeted feedback during practice scenarios was especially useful, and gave me a lot to take into the final assessment. Honestly allowed me to surprise myself. I've done sims involving components of ALS but never a formal course, and it all just seemed consistently above me especially when attending with more senior medical personnel who know what to do. I've never felt like I could be capable of leading in such a situation before. Side note, delicious food and a very fancy "store room" to eat in. In short really glad I did this and through this company. Thank you Nat, Will, Bryan, Fiona, Jess!!! All very knowledgeable and approachable and really went that extra mile to be accessible. Really appreciate all of your efforts!!

I learnt a lot this weekend and enjoyed the practical teaching style. The instructors were very knowledgeable and I appreciated the diverse background- either actively working as doctors or extensive nursing/ paramedic experience. Bodie was an exceptional leader, very calming nature and reassuring in regards to the assessments.

Very organised setup. You made a stressful event very comfortable for a doctor like me.

Great course, instructors are very good.

It was well organised and I left confident in my assessment and management of patients in cardiac arrest and acute conditions. Thank you.

Excellent instructors, just the right mix of theory and practical. Great facilities, a course I thoroughly enjoyed.

Vanessa was incredible and a wealth of knowledge that kept us all on our feet. The application and repetition with immediate hands on was very appropriate for my learning type and I will be coming back for all of my future courses as well. Thanks again!

Hi there, I attended the ALS2 course recently at Surfers Paradise Novotel and want to thank you and the instructors for an excellent course. To have the opportunity to practice multiple scenarios as team members and as team leader was invaluable and am especially appreciative to all the staff for providing additional time for practice sessions on the morning of the final day.

Enjoyed the course, thank you. The training day is very well organised and the instructors had an excellent level of knowledge and experience, which was great to tap into and learn from. I will recommend this course to colleagues.

Well organised course with great teachers that were friendly, knowledgeable and made the concepts easy to understand.

Really great course, managed to learn loads whilst having fun. Instructors were approachable and thoroughly knowledgeable beyond the remit of the ALS course. I would definitely recommend Parasol to colleagues.

The ALS2 course run in Sydney. Great faculty, great content and such a great experience. Thank you

When I walked into the rooms in Saturday morning and saw Pat and Alison I instantly relaxed. The lectures were interspersed with real life events of resuscitations (no personal information of course) which made points in the lectures relatable. Pat and Alison were approachable, knowledgeable, friendly, non judgemental and very encouraging. This made the day of learning less stressful and made achieving a pass for the course a positive learning environment. Thank you so much Pat and Alison, you are both shining stars.

ALS2 course. Could not fault it! The facilitators and instructors very high energy, friendly and approachable and had a suitable amount of knowledge. It was a safe and supportive environment for the 2 days. Venue was great and course participants all amazing. Would highly recommend Parasol to anyone looking to advance their life support skills.

Such great presenters, full of energy, knowledge and professionalism. Such a good venue too.

The course was very organised and well structured. Our facilitator was very knowledgeable and hands on. She saw each participants "weak spots" and thoroughly and patiently corrected/worked on them. And I think that what made the course different from the other courses I have attended. Thank you Asuman for being so patient with our group and for sharing your clinical experiences and skills with us.

Great instructors and variety of simulation and lectures. Very knowledgeable group of instructors and students. Food was beautiful at the Pullman on the Park. The 2 days course was run very smoothly.

Excellent facilitators, well organised, great venue.

It was a very full day and I had some idea of the material as I had read the book. Both instructors were able to correct some of my knowledge that was not correct. The food and hotel was outstanding and very comfortable. Both instructors gave good information that was easily understood and got everyone through all the practical training. Can’t wait to do my ALS 2.

Thank you very much Vanessa! It has been a very informative course. I definitely learned a lot from you.

Thank you so much to Vanessa for running a great day while stuck in a tiny room with terrible lights. I usually really dislike these types of sessions, as I am incredibly uncomfortable with being assessed, and being asked to present things on the spot. But Vanessa not only adjusted the schedule to limit the back and forth of moving rooms, and waiting around, she also did a brilliant job of coaching and supporting rather than evaluating and critiquing - while still achieving the learning outcomes! I also appreciated how she both acknowledged and adjusted to the different skill sets and experiences in the room. Great session!

Well presented. Great encouragement when things were done really well and loved the fact the constructive criticism was gentle and not in a degrading way. It was never focussed on one person but a learning curve for the whole team.
