Really enjoyed the training and the way it was delivered. It was very knowledgeable but also felt informal and more comfortable than others I've been on before.

Testimonial from Tracy Swan
03/03/2025 — 'Basic Life Support' course by Rochdale Borough Council

The course was delivered in an informative and helpful way which refreshed my knowledge and helped me to feel more prepared if I were to ever have to administer CPR. I felt that the real life situations/scenarios helped me to think practically about how I would respond and adapt my practise in the moment if it were needed.

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

Really good course. Teaching was delivered in an engaging way. Use of mannikins with electronic feedback on rate and depth was excellent to give good feedback on CPR

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.

This was the best BLS training session I have every had in my nurse training. The trainers both had an excellent approach, their knowledge and experience shined through and this made the training have a nice calm approach. They made us all feel at ease and were very supportive and encouraging. They sparked conversation in a learning way and I found the session to be quite inspiring. Would highly recommend.
