Whatever you’re paying the instructors, it’s not enough. During my 34 year military career and all the first aid courses I have attended, this was by far the most interesting and informative, all simply down to the two instructors.

I’ve been on several first aid courses over the years in a previous profession- this course was refreshingly different as it was full of real life examples, the chance to share and learn from the other student examples and role plays carried out in an informal but friendly way- very much recommended to anyone who wishes to learn practical outdoor first aid

A great course with many practical aspects and little chance to fall asleep during a boring power point presentation.

Thank you for the web site resource issued after the event. It helps refresh the memory. Perhaps an agenda for what is going to be covered on the course with section headings that match the resource material on the web site will help me refer back to what I learned.

An excellent course taught by a very experienced leader. The blend of taught material and hands on practical exercises, real life situations, sets this course apart from others I have attended. I came out feeling much more confident in my ability to handle an emergency first aid situation.

Ross's enthusiasm and charisma made this course very engaging and interesting. The way in which he invited questions from the group and using a 'what if' system for the participants allowed everyone to get from the course what they needed and apply it to their own industries/roles. There was a huge amount of content covered, and it was great to apply what was learned in outdoor scenarios working in pairs of a group of 3.
It would be great if there was more opportunity to do some more scenarios, maybe in larger groups and more simulation of a day out walking (carrying kit to make use of, personal first aid kits etc). Another half day or full day for this extra would have been valuable in my opinion, and something worth paying for (even if it still provided the same level of qualification.
The booking process for the course was simple and easy. The correspondence before and after was timely and useful. It was also nice to have tea/coffee and biscuits provided! Thanks a lot! Ben

Personally I prefer the indoor sessions. I find that the outdoor scenarios are useful but they are so hard to make real that I find them more of a game to figure out what i should be spotting and so miss things easily. I do not dislike these but i get more from the discussions. I wonder if you should do a share your first aid incidents type of session and what did you learn or what did you not do, what surprised you etc. I know that you pick up on some people's when they share these but inviting all the participants to share their experiences would be both interesting to learn from and listen to.

The course is extremely practical with loads of great real life examples. Pete was brilliant at making the group feel at ease and able to ask loads of questions and share any knowledge that they had.
