Course Feedback

"I have attended many first aid courses over the years and felt it was the most relevant, comprehensive, and meaningful course to date. It was delivered in a way that gave you the confidence to carry out first aid."

"The right blend of informative and enjoyable."

"Small group on the course meant we could all contribute to the discussion. It was very inclusive and the trainer was very friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting. Thank you."

"Useful and practical - was used the very next day!"
