I've been doing the in-class Caregiving course for a month now, and it’s been, hands down, the most transformative learning experience of my life. Karin Westphal is, without exaggeration, the best lecturer and mentor anyone could hope for. She doesn’t just teach — she empowers. She goes above and beyond to make sure every student not only understands the practical skills but also grasps the why behind them. Her passion for caregiving, her discipline, her energy — it's contagious in the best way. This course is worth far more than what she offers it for. You don’t just walk away with technical knowledge - you leave changed. Spiritually, emotionally, mentally. Karin has taught me how to lead a truly healthy, balanced life. She’s taught me that passion matters, that anger can be useful when channeled right, and that I’m not in competition with anyone but myself. She’s shown me what it means to care for someone with precision and purpose - and what can happen when you don’t. Her standard is excellence, but it’s always laced with compassion. I’ve learned from her that the highest standard is one you hold yourself to with love, not pressure. I've learnt all of this and more, and it's only been 1 month. I am deeply grateful to be her student. Five stars don’t feel like enough. If you are looking for the best — First Class Caregiving is the place. Full stop.

I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Karin for all the knowledge I’ve gained from learning at First Class Caregiving. Karin you’ve been an amazing teacher and during our learning you knew how to make us fully understand everything vividly and geared us up for our future healthcare encounters. Many of us got employed abroad soon after completing our studies with you and greatly appreciate all the knowledge and professionalism that you have passed on to us! Even after moving abroad, you still show me love and kindness and give nothing but good reference about me to my employers and that has left a big mark in my heart as your humanity is greatly valued and appreciated. In everything I do, I will never forget where it all began Karin and you deserve nothing but the best in return. May God continue to bless and protect you ❤️. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge, it is greatly appreciated. Gaynor xx
