04/02/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid A great refresher course from Lakes First Aid - Ross led really helpful discussions and created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that allowed everyone in our group to engage. The mix of theory, discussion and practical was perfect - and the new high-tech Annie's were a fun way to test our resuscitation skills!
Testimonial from Steph Taylor, Project Co-ordinator, Love Solarhttp://www.love-solar.co.uk 03/02/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Simon Clooney I cannot fault Simon's delivery and knowledge.
His easy style, and ability to engage the group at all times is impressive to watch.
Simon has the bandwidth to deal with every candidate needs, no matter what their experience and learning preferences are.
I have attended over a dozen different courses of varying quality over the past 30+ years. The last 4 have been with Simon and Active-aid, and I will continue to use them into the future, as both the content, quality and style of delivery is outstanding in every way.
Testimonial from Mark Allen, Operations Manager- Brathay Trust, Brathay Trust 02/02/2026 — 'Basic Life Support' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited Pleasant tutor, covered all that we needed to know.
Testimonial from Claire O'connell, Practice nurse 31/01/2026 — 'Forest Schools First Aid ' course by
Lakes First Aid Well resourced accommodation. Luke as trainer is clear, informative, makes things as simple as possible and gives both good examples during discussion and excellent hands on scenarios , which breaks down knowledge into chunks and then slowly builds these when working through scenarios. Lot of repetition to allow you to remember key strategies. Makes participants feel comfortable to contribute and is skilled at questioning to develop knowledge and critical thinking
Testimonial from Janet Brown, Senior Teaching Assistant, Chetwynde School 30/01/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid This course was just great from start to finish and I took away a lot of useful knowledge and confidence in first aid if I ever needed to have to use it.
Testimonial from Darren Hunter, Solar fitter, Love solar 29/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. This training was far and away the best I have ever been on for first aid and I have been on many as a school pupil/swimming teacher/ lifeguard/ teacher. It was very engaging, real, affecting and did a brilliant job of combining lots of detail and information explaining bodily functions, scenarios and the "whys" of what we are doing etc while also paring things down to simple basics meaning I feel far more clear in my role as a first aider. The training covered so much; it related to my professional life of course but also very much to my personal life and brought into sharp focus everyone's potential fragility and the need for everyone to have these skills. A very powerful course that I would get both my very active sons to do if they lived locally! Thank you. I have lots to take back to school and to my family and friends.
Testimonial from Nicki Bradbury, Head teacher, Nether Kellet Community Primary 29/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid It has given me a lot more confidence with first aid and some really good tips for improving some of the procedures of my guided walks. Huge thanks go to Ross. I definitely think you need your own You Tube channel!

Testimonial from Adrian Schultz, Head of Year, Nelson Thomlinson School 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I had the most amazing time learning outdoor first aid with Luke of Lakes First Aid, and now know I can go fully prepared to help out for any incident should it arise on the fell or in an urban environment.
Testimonial from Ruth Anna Caulcott-Cooper 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid This was my second 16-hour Outdoor FA course with Lakes First Aid. Although I have to travel quite a distance to attend training with them it is entirely worth the extra time and expense to receive top class training and I would not even think of going elsewhere now. The course is very practical, focuses on the real priorities for a First Aider and includes lots of hands-on practice scenarios which builds confidence in using the step approach to casualty injury/illness diagnosis. I will be returning to Lakes First Aid when I need to do refresher training again in 3-years time.
Testimonial from Shirley Gilmour, Walk Galloway with Shirley Ghttps://walkgalloway.com/ 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid The course was great - Ross was really enthusiastic and knowledgable. The equipment you have made all the difference - being able to actually try things out, and break up the day was perfect - I really enjoyed it.
Testimonial from Rachel Button 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid Thank you for an excellent course Luke. I both enjoyed it and came away pleased to have had my first aid knowledge and skills so well updated.
Testimonial from Richard Simpson 27/01/2026 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid This is one of the best first aid courses I have participated in. Ross was knowledgeable, confident and interesting. It was great that anicdotes weren't allowed and this saved so much time! The different scenarios were interesting and made me think, things weren't always as they seemed. I never felt that this was meant to catch us out, I felt it was to make us think and keep us interested. I don't think I have ever left a first aid course feeling as confident as I did this time.

Testimonial from ANDREW MORTON, Teacher/outdoor instructor 27/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I would like to thank Luke. He was really great, patient, knowledgeable. No question was too much and he managed the room. We were all different levels of experience in this area. It was really good. I too want to thank Susan and Ross for being so accomodating and allowing us to change the dates for the course.

Testimonial from Scott Umpleby, Fundraising Lead (Events), Brathay Trust 22/01/2026 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited 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.
