Pete was fantastic. A brilliant trainer. This was the first training course I've done, and I came away with so much more than I'd expected. It was challenging, serious, light when needed, accessible and thoroughly engaging, all in equal measure. The perfect mix of learning styles delivered by someone with vast amounts of skill and experience.

I have always appreciated Pete's very pragmatic approach to First Aid, it is based on years of experience and what works.
Pete has a very engaging presentation style and the course is a good mix of theory, presentations and hands on.
Thanks again.

Luke was a very knowledgeable but empathetic "human" trainer and I feel we benefitted from the "no stories" rule.

Thank you to Stephen for his insights and experience, it really adds to the quality of the course. The practical nature of this course brings the content 'alive' and makes it more likely that you will 'step up' when circumstances require you to.

I have been involved with DofE across schools i've worked in for around 15 years. This is the second time I have been on this outdoor first aid course and it remains the best first aid course I have ever been on. This is for two reasons, firstly, it combines all of the basic first aid knowledge with a practical application to the outdoor setting. It challenges you to think about the limitations of being remote and the unique circumstances you can find yourself in. Secondly, Stephen Brown is the best facilitator of any course I have ever been on. His approach is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Stephen was fantastic; he has a great manner with everyone and is very encouraging, he has excellent knowledge and is able to get everyone thinking about all possible outcomes. I feel much more confident about performing first aid in an emergency situation.
