This course was a dynamic program with practical skills, enough theoretical knowledge to make relevant meaning, and a smidge of way-higher information to satisfy the most intellectually curious. Hands-on skills followed directly from the theoretical as taught, and question-and-answer sessions were super informative, always on-point, and validated both the content learning and the students’ different learning styles and level of prior experience. A highlight of the program was the respect that quickly developed between the instructors and students, and hence, among the entire group - super! Over the years I’ve taken my full share of EMS and outdoor emergency care courses, and Simon, along with Mark when he weighed in on the second day, delivered a product that was among the top I can recall in terms of value-added “I’m really glad I took this course” learning experiences in this field.

This course is a fantastic introduction to practical first aid and CPR. It takes into account factors that are not covered in typical courses, such as location, weather, terrain, and remote areas. By getting outside and going through scenarios, I was really able to build confidence in my skills.

Overall one of the best FA courses I have done. A nice informal delivery style with plenty of time to discuss ideas and thoughts. Also very good value for money compared to many FA courses. And a pub lunch included, what's not to like!

Trish and Deb complemented each other well with their different backgrounds. There was a good balance between practical sessions, instruction and discussion. Trish and Deb created opportunities for us as students to learn from each other. There was no unsatisfactory rushing through the syllabus to get it "covered".

Thanks for a great course, learned more up to date stuff and a good insight on what an experienced and active MR person thinks and practises on First Aid in the outdoors.

18/12/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

Having completed at least eleven 1st aid courses over the last thirty years or so, I cannot rate this course, and this trainer highly enough. from the get go, this course was tailored to fit both the group and the individual needs of each candidate. Style and methods of delivery where engaging, informative, relevant and thought provoking. I walked away from this course with more confidence in my skills and how to apply them, and with greater clarity on my priorities and role as a 1st aider.

This course is a practical one which looks at covering the fundamentals of first aid extremely well. The course delivery is excellent, and the trainers have a breadth of knowledge and experience to match the training to your (often niche) circumstances.

Testimonial from Robert Bowyer, Senior Surveyor, Carter Jonas LLP

12/12/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by First Aid Cumbria.

I've been on 4-5 other First aid courses over the years, with a range of providers, but this was the best. The approach was effective and a good learning environment, with lots of practical elements. The use of technology with the resuscitation dummies gave a lot of confidence that you were doing it sufficiently well to be effective.
