The course was really detailed, providing plenty of clarity on how to approach various first aid scenarios. The practical scenarios were really useful for embedding what we had learnt in the classroom and making the process feel more natural. Ross was a very good instructor, explaining everything very clearly and making a welcoming environment to ask lots of questions. I feel like I have come away from the course feeling a lot more confident in my first aid knowledge and my ability to apply those skills if I ever need to. Thank you!

Having attended this course as a refresher I have retained much more information than I did the first time. The time spent on subjects other than CPR/AED was more memorable this time.

I think it is one of the best , if not the best, training I have had, and I have had a lot!
Also Andrew, when I told you my son has epilepsy, you asked me what type of seizures he had, my mind went blank and I ended up saying Focal but he actually has tonic clonic!!

The ability Andrew had in explaining things and why was great. For years i have known how to use a defibrillator but not the understanding of why the pads go where they do. I know now! There were numerous other explanations as to why, which other first aid courses have failed to achieve the theory behind in the level of detail i received on this course.
