Great course delivered in a friendly, informative and relaxing way to aid maximum learning opportunities. Great resources (Annie’s) meant everyone had loads of time to practice CPR. Thanks Pete 😁👍

We are an athletics club. A sports injury specific course would be very useful and probably popular with other local clubs and sports. We must have qualified first aid cover at events, but accidents and injuries happen at training too.

25/07/2023 — 'Basic Life Support' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

The trainer made the information very interesting, easy to understand and remember. He gave lots of time for discussion and clarification and practice. The small numbers in our group made it easier to discuss things and get personal time with the trainer.It really makes a difference when you are being taught by someone with great knowledge and experience in their subject.

I wasn't looking forward to the course, but I really enjoyed it. Andrew and Angie are extremely knowledgeable and are good teachers and very articulate, and Andrew often added a lighter touch to the course. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Testimonial from Jean Robinson

Great session. The best I have done in 18 years of healthcare!

Testimonial from Emma Dixon, Head of In-patient services , St. John's Hospice
19/02/2022 — 'Basic Life Support' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

Andrew is an excellent trainer and presents the course so that everyone feels at ease and relaxed and able to ask questions without feeling embarrassed . We were supplied with our own individual CPR model, defibrillator and pocket mask and Andrew attended to everyone individually to check that we were all competent and comfortable using them. There is no role play-that is a major positive! Andrew is very eager to make sure sure that all the delegates understand everything and explains everything very well. He goes over and beyond to ensure we have all understood what’s required from the course plus more. Andrew spent additional time with us answering all our questions. Using the Heimleich manoeuvre on someone wearing the special vest was also good.

Pete is an excellent communicator of his subject and always makes it relevant to the business we are in. The course is always insightful and despite the regularity with which we do the course, always has something new to teach.

The whole atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Using our own surgeries was really helpful. The presenters put everyone at their ease, and we didn't feel 'on show' when we were doing the practical side. Lots of useful tips on how to deal with situations here, where we need to act as a team, as well as general day to day possibilities.

Testimonial from Rona Murdoch, Practice Manager, A J Morgan & Associates
28/06/2016 — 'Basic Life Support' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

ALL GOOD
Andrew was an excellent trainer.
He had excellent practical and theoretical skills.
He had a good sense of humour and kept us all interested, unlike many other annual updates I have attended in the past 30yrs.
Our surgery was only small so we were a bit cramped, however we all managed our practical sessions.
I am looking forward to attending next year in your own training centre.

This was a group event and I was not able to answer some of the points above relating to website, pre-course info and booking process. I marked these as neutral. This may distort the score because I have marked everything else "smiley face" because I though the course was excellent. Perhaps an NOT APPROPRIATE button may help to get a better score if that is the aim.
