Should I report this First Aid instructor?

Emergency First Aid + CPR Level A Time: 8 hours (1 day)

The course is “Emergency First Aid and CPR Level A Re-certification

So most of the course is fine. We are reviewing the first aid basics, then half way through he starts talking about the AED system, 10–15min

When to use it, how to set it up, that it’s ok to use it, things like that…

In my area to use a AED you need:
Standard First Aid + CPR Level C Time: 16 hours (2 days)
AED course Time: 8 hours

Not a 15 minute white board review.

Not to mention it violates the Good Samaritan Act

in Canada the principles of the Good Samaritan Act protects you if you choose to help someone in need voluntarily ( that is you are not being paid to provide help). Once you begin to give assistance, you are obligated to use reasonable skill and care based on your level of training. The Good Samaritan principles include:

• You identify yourself as a first aider and get consent to help
• You use reasonable skill and do not exceed your training
• You are not negligent in what you do
• You do not abandon the person

And then he got angry when I pointed that out,
