What our customers think of this course type:

Taught by an excellent, emotionally literate trainer, this outdoor and paediatric first aid course provided coherent information about everything one would need to know to be able to render first aid effectively. Peter focussed on getting us to use all the information available when assessing a casualty, thinking about why we were carrying out a particular course of actions and knowing when we had to act really quickly. Even though I have completed several first aid trainings over the years, I learned an incredible amount and, more importantly, understand how to use this.
