Our trainer, David, was fantastic. His anecdotes gave real life examples of when to use various methods. He was approachable, very knowledgeable and actually made the course enjoyable rather than another tick box thing we had to do. I left feeling confident and competent.

The first aid training course was excellent. Andrew delivered the information in a supportive and engaging way. I now feel confident and prepared; the course has given me real peace of mind knowing I can respond calmly and effectively if needed.

21/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by Lakes First Aid

I found the day to go by smoothly, Ross was a great trainer who was very engaging and enthusiastic with content that could otherwise seem dull. I felt that I learned a lot of practical knowledge and any questions I had were answered very well.

I left the course feeling like I had gained a lot of job specific first aid skills, and feeling well equipped with the knowledge to deal with incidents should they arise in my job and also generally in life, so I'd say the day was very valuable to me.

I have attended many first aid courses over my years in child care and find Kentdale by far the most informative and enjoyable, the professionals delivering the training are knowledgeable and make the training very informal and
interesting. I can highly recommend Kentdale to anyone.

This was an excellent course. It was so well planned and delivered. The pace was just right, with time to practise procedures and ask questions before moving on to the next topic. There was a good balance of listening and interactive sections. The resources and facilities were of an extremely high standard. Thank you very much.

Highly recommended for anyone wanting practical, effective first aid training.

A brilliant course. Pete’s teaching style makes it easy to remember the key information to remember is a first aid situation. A valuable refresher, helping to reinforce learning previously covered, a reminder of things I’d forgotten and an update of best practice changes since my last first aid course. All delivered in a comfortable and friendly environment with plenty of fun tasks mixed in along the way. Thanks Pete.

Thanks for a great course. I learnt lots. Not bad as I have done something like 30 first aid courses previously.

I learnt new things that I haven’t from previous first aid courses for example, how to put someone in a recovery position if they are found on their front, different hand positions for CPR on adults and role play how to use a defibrillator and what it sounds like,etc

Course was very well delivered, engaging, entertaining and educational. The guy teaching, whose name escapes me, did a really good job of giving good information in a topical and relatable manor

I liked the pre eLearning work. it built a foundation for practical work. I also liked the way the trainer explained how the body works in given scenarios which provided context for understanding the response required. The course was really well delivered. Focussed but kept light enough to be absorbed. There was a lot to get through and it was very well paced. A very very worthwhile 2 days.
