Karin is an exceptional teacher who truly cares about her students' success. With her patience, kindness, and dedication, she creates an engaging, informative, and fun learning environment. She breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons and is always willing to help. Karin's passion for teaching is contagious, making learning enjoyable and inspiring her students to succeed.

I was just a woman and its all i knew until i enrolled with First Class Caregiving and met Karin. This was the greatest decision i have ever made with my life. Karin, you are indeed the best this world has ever seen and the only one it will ever know. I remember in class, you wouldn't accept anything unless it was the best. This has helped turn me into the woman i am today personally and professionally. The discipline and consistency you instilled in me, every skill and knowledge you imparted to me has earned me so much gratitude and respect. I made an impact and i leave a mark everyday since the very first day i started working as a caregiver. Everyone in my work spheres is overwhelmed by my work ethic. They wonder and ask where i acquired such precious knowledge and special skills from. Every patient i talk to, wants to talk to me more. Every patient i touch cant let go of me and they all yearn for me when i am not there. As such, I am really honored to be a First Class Caregiving School product. It is indeed FIRE. I cannot thank you enough Karin. You lectured me, opened my eyes to what i could accomplish and become in ways that i would never have thought possible without you. You made me discover my true purpose in life and made me want to see what lay beyond the fields i knew and for that, i am forever grateful. I had so many dreams and i dont think i could have accomplished any of them had i not enrolled with you. You changed the way i thought about life and learning, that i can now possibly do anything with enough dedication and hard work. Thank you so much Karin. #First Class Caregiving is Fire#

Learning at First Class Caregiving has been a great discovery and eye opener to my present day. It moulded a great passion and enthusiastic interest which exhumed a hidden talent and eagerness to extract more in the field of health sciences. The teachings l got from Karin helped me to unlock and unleash the greatness within me and fuel my passion for nursing. I actually regret having known Karin later than earlier, for l could have extracted more knowledge from her. Her lessons would delve deeper into complicated medical conditions which would inspire my mind to learn more on sciences as well as life lessons, and because of such enticing and welcoming foundation I desired more. Karin saw the potential in me and pushed me into doing Nursing. Today I am a proud nurse rooted in the foundation of my teachings at First Class from a dedicated teacher.

It is not often that you meet a truly exceptional person in your day-to-day live, that makes a true impact on your soul. Karin is that person for me, she is an inspiration to me. Her training courses consist of highly professional material, as well as hands on practical classes, presented by a trainer and mentor that has a passion for her industry. Karin gives her all in every class she teaches, and there are always examples and guidance that she provides to students that are based on her own working experience.

I started my caregiving course at First Class Caregiving Johannesburg on January 24, 2024, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding experience I've had. Karin, my instructor, has been an absolute gem. Her professionalism, vast knowledge, and dedication to teaching have made my learning journey truly exceptional. Karin goes above and beyond to ensure her students are well-prepared for the challenges of caregiving. Despite being tough at times, it's evident that she does so with a genuine concern for the well-being of those we'll be caring for. Her teaching style is not just about skills but also instilling a deep sense of responsibility when dealing with another human being. I feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with such a phenomenal and brilliant teacher. Karin's guidance has not only made me more knowledgeable but has also instilled in me a sense of confidence as I look forward to my future in caregiving. The school, First Class Caregiving Johannesburg, is a testament to quality education and a nurturing learning environment. If you're considering a caregiving course, I wholeheartedly recommend First Class Caregiving Johannesburg and specifically commend Karin for her exceptional teaching. Thank you for this transformative experience. Tanya :-)

I have employed two people trained at First Class Caregiving and they are very well-trained including for looking after difficult Alzheimer's patients. It is a real first class training and the best in South Africa in my opinion.

I am currently a student at First Class Academy. For anyone considering the same here is my advice to you. If you are the type who would rather take the easy route and expect your payment to simply be your guarantee ticket to a better life, there are surely other, less professional institutions out there. If however, personal pride are among your core values I can highly recommend that you attend Karin's courses. This is by no means a fly by the seat of your pants school and Karin is no pushover. She is extremely passionate, diligent and knowledgeable in the medical industry and what may sometimes seem like a stern teaching approach, is in my opinion an admirable quality of high standards, not only for herself but for her students. She will push you beyond the low standards we have become accustomed to in SA... and it's about time! After all, this is also what I would personally want from someone caring for 1 of my loved ones. It's also the kind of level that will set you apart and above the thousands out there with the same goals and desires. I won't lie... It will require determination and dedication! Think Muhammed Ali or Rocky Balboa for use of some descriptive imagery. There is nothing you cannot do if you set your mind and priorities right but remember this too 'The path of least resistance will never make you proud!' Much like parenting. You want to give your children the best possible resources to achieve and become the best and most industrious versions of themselves in life, but also not make it so easy they will fumble at the 1st sign of life's inevitable stumbling blocks.

Not often that I take the time to write reviews, but I felt that First Class Caregiving deserved my applause. I have been enrolled at First Class Caregiving to complete my Certified Nurse Assistant course. It was hard for me to first establish where I want to obtain this qualification from, as its really difficult these days to determine how legit and decent any place being advertised is. Let alone knowing that my qualification would be top notch, world class and be recognized anywhere. It has been an amazing journey and experience. Karin the owner and tutor, is beyond exceptional. Her knowledge is vast and thorough and she is not afraid to share, help, assist and guide her students. I love that she is strict but fair and only expect the utmost best from her students while equipping them with exceptional knowledge and skills. I have only praise and thanks to Karin and her institution and so excited that she has been guiding me to a brand-new future for myself. Thank you, thank you. Helgard Marais

After meeting Karin for the first time at an orientation session I attended on a Saturday morning at the First Class Caregiving Academy, I knew there and then that my life was never going to be the same! Dedication + Discipline + Consistency are action verbs that Karin imprints on all her students. I decided to add a 4th one, PASSION! I attended each and every one of those classes with awe as I learnt something brand-new each and every day. The lessons learnt from Karin are invaluable and I am ever so grateful, I just get so emotional when I realize how blessed I am to have had her as my tutor and how blessed I am to have her as my MENTOR. Three months later, I am writing my testimonial while seated in my home in the US working alongside the best healthcare agencies doing what I love, being a CNA. Karin, may you continue being the lady with the lamp in people's lives, lighting up our paths. You lit mine; I will keep it burning while being the lady with the lamp to all my patients and practicing all the invaluable lessons you imprinted onto my life! Love and miss you!
