Instructor Level:
Eric Sullivan
SJA Level 1, Standard & ECC Instructor.
Eric has been teaching First Aid on the Sunshine Coast since 1998. He is a teacher for School district #46, currently at Gibsons Elementary. Not surprisingly Eric plays a lead role for the School District in occupational, health and safety. It was Eric's parents, Linda and Gerald Sullivan who started 'Samaritan Training' on the Sunshine Coast so you might say he grew up on this "stuff". When we first took over the business, Eric worked more weekends for us than was reasonable for a young man with a family. Eric's commitment to ensuring that the Sunshine Coast has people qualified in First Aid is absolutely exemplary. He is an asset to our organization and to the Sunshine Coast.
