The Instructor

Van Mclean has been teaching First Aid for more than 20 years, starting with the Canadian Ski Patrol and now through the Canadian Red Cross.  Van's first aid experience through the Ski Patrol and in the workplace allows him to share real life scenarios, which rarely match what most of us have seen on TV or in the movies.  Van has worked in both the FACS and Construction departments under IATSE 856 giving him the ability to make the course content more relevant to those in the film industry.
