Always a good experience being a learner with Lakes First Aid. All the staff are so friendly and will go the extra mile to accommodate your needs. Have held a First Aid cert since 1979 which I took when I worked at the cellophane factory at Wigton- yes, I’m that old. I’ve been to three different first aid providers over the years. Lakes is easily the best. Cheers. Joe

What our customers think of this course type:

This was an extremely engaging course and the tutors were very keen to ensure that all the students were comfortable with and understood the content of the course material. Great venue and everything very well organised. It was really important to me to be able to physically try out procedures on the 'toys' - the best way of learning and gaining confidence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this training centre, the tutors really know their subject and I really enjoyed it.
