Ross delivered an excellent course in which he got a large amount of information across while still allowing time for questions and discussion. He regularly gave us to opportunity to tailor parts of the course to our needs.

I signed up as work had offered the training and I thought it would be a good thing to have a refresher on. It’s definitely the best first aid course I have attended - interactive with a good balance of hands on learning vs knowledge taught. The equipment was so useful - not only do I feel more confident if I had to use these skills but I’ve also learnt invaluable lessons on choking, heart attacks etc which you never know when you might need - not just in the work place. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and Ross was an excellent trainer. Highly recommend this course to anyone - great tool set to have!

Ross was an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable and approachable. Really tailored the course to the groups experience. Absolute opposite of death by PowerPoint as the majority of the course was hands on and engaging throughout

I highly recommend this First Aid course. The knowledge and experience of the instructor shows in a well delivered, fully engaging course, which educates on what to expect in a real situation. The course was interactive and a safe space for students to ask questions, which were always answered thoroughly to ensure everyone fully understood. I will continue to keep coming back when my next First Aid update is due. Thank you!

Luke was a truly brilliant trainer. The course was so interactive and drew on realistic scenarios making all the information easier to learn and absorb. All questions were answered thoughtfully and everyone felt that they could speak up when they wanted to. The cake was also fantastic. I would recommend Lakes First Aid / Active aid / Luke to anyone wanting to learn Outdoor first aid.

Thank you for a very intensive, fact packed, practical course. The delivery was frst rate by an extremely knowledgeable paramedic (Andrew Dickinson) with huge expereince to draw upon in case examples; The resources were also better than any other course i have been on with 1 x resuscitation doll per person with high tech gadgets to monitor pace and technique. I have not come across that before and it gave feedback in real time which was very helpful. All round a first rate expereince. Thank you Kentdale First Aid.

I have attended this course at Kentdale for the past 16 years, and it continues to be outstanding. It is engaging, informative, and delivered in a way that is accessible to learners of all experience levels.

Andrew is an excellent trainer who strikes the perfect balance between professionalism, humour, and interaction. This makes the course both enjoyable and memorable, despite the seriousness of the subject matter.

The key learning points are presented in a practical and effective way, helping delegates retain the essential information needed in a crisis situation. Phrases such as "Breathing in and out, blood flows around the body" stay with you long after the course has finished and serve as valuable prompts when they matter most.

I would highly recommend this course, Andrew, and the team at Kentdale to anyone seeking high-quality, practical, and engaging training.
