What our customers think of this course type:

I left this course an enlightened and more confident 1st aided. I have attended 1st Aid courses since I was 14yrs old due to my leisure interests and it was the first time in all these courses that I was told that CPR would result in the possible breaking of ribs. If I were required to perform CPR now I would be more confident in being able to carry out CPR without panicking if I did hear a rib breaking. This I believe is vital information that could save a persons life as had I needed to perform CPR prior to this course in would have panicked and possible stopped through fear or shock not expecting possible cracking from the ribs. Dave easy to talk to and he answered all questions and has the experience to back up his teaching.

What our customers think of this course type:

Andrew and Angie's stories of their experiences made it very interesting and made learning easier to remember. Both very friendly and happy to answer questions even if it meant going off planned topic. Best course I've done (done 8 over the years!) despite covid restrictions. Very relaxed and enjoyable but very informative. Also, little touches such as sweets in everyone's individual pack and even a pen provided were very thoughtful.
