What our customers think of this course type:

Djak Forrest, Toilet Attendant, Gretna Attraction This course built up my confidence as a person and a First Aider. It helped greatly that we roleplayed situations and problem solved in teams, how to best help a patient in need of attention. I found it interesting and Ross, the trainer was helpful, listened well and was not judgemental in the slightest. He took on board all the feedback from the course, by the people attending, and we worked through a lot of different scenarios. I definitely want to come back for a refresher course. I'm even inclined to try out a Bushtracker course!!!!

What our customers think of this course type:

30 years in the outdoor industry, I've done lots of first aid courses. I'd previously done the cycle of 3 year training programmes with Pete but decided to take a break to see what else was out there, returning in 2019. This programme engaged me from the start with new emphasis and up to date facts. More refined priorities gave me bit size takeaways, which I'll remember. Pete's knowledge, brought to life with a wealth of anecdotes, maintained my interest throughout. A larger cohort was great for networking and the lunch options were a delight.
