Excellent and Practical First Aid Training

Excellent first aid course with a highly knowledgeable trainer who delivered clear, concise instructions and practical demonstrations. The session was well structured, engaging and gave us plenty of opportunity to practise. I now feel much more confident responding to an emergency and would highly recommend the course.

Very engaging

I was expecting the session to be quite boring, especially as it involved a three-hour presentation with a lot of detail. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging, interesting and useful it was.The presentation was delivered in a way that kept me interested throughout, and honestly, it didn’t feel like three hours at all! I found the session extremely valuable and would definitely recommend it.

The trainer was fantastic and made…

The trainer was fantastic and made everything fun. The only issue I had was i wasnt comfortable putting my mouth on the dummy's as it was a group task and sharing one dummy and she gave us baby wipes to clean the mouth which doesn't protect against germs and infections and i ended up with cold sores but was told I'd be failed for not doing it. Other than that the course was fantastic and I learnt a lot from it thankyou
