”I attended the 'Førstehjælp om bord på mindre fartøjer og i søsport' My instructor was Michaell Svendsen.
As a water sports coach, I am required to attend on a regular basis first aid and lifeguarding courses. Over the years, I have attended many courses in different countries, UK, Australia, Singapore and now most recently Denmark, where I have just moved.
This class was one of the best I have attended. Michaell displayed great flexibility in both, switching to English with ease and skillfully managing the time. My Danish is basic and although I was prepared to follow the whole course in Danish, he offered to do it in English. He did so on short notice when we met that very morning. He, of course, asked the other participants for their permission first, they were all kind enough to agree.
I found Michael highly knowledgeable, he instructed the course with passion which made a 7-hour class fly by. He could answer all our questions, and not only did I refresh my skills I also learned new things. He navigated through the class in an excellent manner and managed seven strong and happy personalities, thoroughly listening to our stories while keeping to the time and to the course but never patronizing. He displayed all the qualities of a great instructor, he was articulate, skilled, and approachable. He managed his time well; he was enthusiastic and was an astute listener.”
