What our customers think of this course type:

I really enjoyed the day and I felt very supported by Ross. He had a lovely kind accepting manner. Without sounding offensive to the training system; I have attended many of these training session which are often not looked forward too. Yesterday however was the best first aid training day I have ever had. Well organised, brilliant pace, details and examples were given when ever asked. Most importantly Ross got information across to us without seeming superior or making us feel inferior. He had a great sense of humour which made me feel comfortable to ask questions even if I thought they sounded a little silly. Many, many thanks.

What our customers think of this course type:

Excellent course. The instructor was superb. I was extremely impressed (and surprised) by the technology in the "dummies", we got instant feedback on our smart phones on how we were doing when performing CPR on infants, children and adults. FAC's dummies "tell" you when you get it right! When performing First Aid it is critical that one can perform good CPR and the kit and instruction ensured we did. Superb teaching.

Just completed my Emergency First Aid for Sport training with Lakes First Aid. Ross was an excellent trainer, being both knowledgeable and engaging in his presentation of both the theory and the practical elements. As a Sports Therapist, I have attended a few First Aid courses over the years but I felt this was by far the most enjoyable. I would have no hesitation to recommend Lakes First Aid to my colleagues and friends.
