My only real beef with St. John was that we didn't take the written test--the instructor had the class answer by raising hands on the multiple choice questions. The 2 times I took EFR there was nothing on bandaging.
For O2, we assembled the unit in Rescue course. Then 3 years later I did it again in DM course. Of the 4 of us there, everyone made at least 2 mistakes (the other 3 DMCs had just taken Rescue a month or 2 before).
So, I had the owner show me the procedure again and wrote the steps down. Not rocket science unless you don't review it often enough on your own. The owner's suggestion I buy a $700 O2 botttle fell on deaf ears (maybe if I were made of money...).
