Carolyn was so knowledgeable and is a natural teacher and people person. It was a long day but she kept the group engaged and interested throughout. The session had the perfect balance of fun humour and insightful discussion. Thank you!!

I completed the blended pediatric course in April 2026. The first half was a 6 hour on-line course, which was easily accessible, clear and concise with an end of unit 'quiz'.
The second part of this course was a practical (which was held in a very nice venue). The course was delivered brilliantly by Carolyn, who was very knowledgeable, precise, understanding and at times funny! This lead to the course being undertaken in a low-pressure, relaxed environment. We each had our own equipment to practice any practical elements (CPR, bandages, slings, etc) and Carolyn observed us individually as she went round to ensure our technique was correct and efficient.
There was a short exam at the end of the course which I felt more than prepared for, thanks to the excellent tuition during the course.
I have been in my role for 25 years and have completed many first aid courses and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is the best first aid course I have ever completed! The combination of blended learning is a revelation and suited my work/life situation perfectly.
I would, without hesitation, thoroughly recommend this course.

Great instructor, really enthusiastic & knowledgeable. Carolyn made learning pediatric first aid so much easier with her fun way of learning. She makes sure you understand the contents & takes you through to be able to complete the course test at the end.
I feel much more confident thanks to her, well worth having Carolyn as your instructor.

I recently completed a paediatric first aid course, and I wanted to share how positive my experience was—largely thanks to Carolyn.
Carolyn was absolutely lovely. Not only did she deliver the course professionally and clearly, but she also went above and beyond to support me personally. I struggle with anxiety and overwhelm, and she showed genuine kindness, patience, and understanding throughout. Her encouragement made a real difference to my confidence on the day.
What stood out even more was the support she offered before the course. I had called for help with accessing the online part of the training, and although she wasn’t able to assist at that moment, she took the time to point me in the right direction. After finishing her teaching that day, she even followed up with an email to apologise and offered further support if I needed it before attending the course. I found this incredibly thoughtful and reassuring.
As someone with ADHD, even simple things like logging into online systems can feel frustrating and overwhelming, so her understanding and willingness to help really meant a lot.
Carolyn is a true asset—both as a trainer and as a person. It was an absolute pleasure to have been taught by her, and I’m very grateful for the experience.

The trainer (Caroline Port) was very engaging, informative and funny. The training exceeded all my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this training to everyone.

Brilliant first aid course, super engaging, practical and fun. I did the 2 day First aid at Work course with the 6 hours online. The days flew by and were really informative.

Best First Aid course i've been on

I completed the Mental Health First Aid course with Winterbury Training. Carolyn is a brilliant trainer! The course is informative, collaborative, and the experience was productive and delivered with sensitivity. I would highly recommend.

I am a foster carer and did a course Thursday-Friday, March 19-20 2026.

I can honestly say this was the neatest course I can remember. We covered CPR on infants, children and adults and I learned LOADS but in a fun way.

Carolyn was engaging, accurate, funny when appropriate, VERY knowledgeable and had clearly she had "Been there, done it, got the T-Shirt!"

We also covered bleeds, from trivial to potentially catastrophic, and again, I can't fault Carolyn.

I'd recommend any of her courses.

Carolyn who is the lead trainer was exceptionally well informed experienced and clear in her way of teaching . The whole day was a hugely valuable experience and has given me much more confidence and knowledge . I would love a way to embed the info more as it was a lot to take in. But I can’t recommend her enough.

Nice mix of theory and practical. Experienced and knowledgeable trainer. Not too formal but all the material was covered. Excellent handouts.

I have attended many training sessions in the past but this one was by far the best yet !
I was engaged throughout the whole two days as the topics were so well presented.
I would recommend this course to any one in a paediatric setting.
Thank you

Carolyn was a great teacher she made the whole group feel at ease and made it fun

A very professionally led first aid course. The trainer managed to make the whole day flow with great knowledge ,enthusiasm & fun .
Would highly recommend this company

The best course I've ever been on, the day flew by I thoroughly enjoyed it. Carolyn is absolutely fantastic at what she does.

Caroline and Nell were brilliant! They made the training very enjoyable and engaging!

Carolyn made the whole experience fun even though it was a serious topic and thorough training was involved. Felt i had theory beforehand by doing the online course to help when doing the more physical training. I would say i feel a lot more confident helping someone in any circumstance now. Highly recommend

Carolyn was an excellent teacher—clear about what we needed to learn and made the day enjoyable as well. Highly recommended.

I've done a lot of first aid courses. This was the best and most enjoyable I have been on. Thank you!

Very knowledgeable trainer and informative course, incredibly useful.

The first aid training we received from Winterbury training is really valuable. It has meant we've been able to deal with minor injuries at work effectively and gives us peace of mind at work and home that we can help if the worst should happen! The course wasn't just useful, it was also really fun and enjoyable too!
