This is the second time I have attended head to toe medication training with Karyn. It is one of the best I have attended over my 14 years in disability. You offer a relaxed, positive environment but still provide a thorough training that allows workers to be confident in their role administering medication. Thank you for an enjoyable, informative session

Karyn presented a great and thorough training experience for all of our staff. She was able to cater for those who were doing a refresher as well as for those who were first timers. Would definitely recommend her to anyone whishing to be credentialled in medication administration and seizure management.
