A brilliant course. Pete’s teaching style makes it easy to remember the key information to remember is a first aid situation. A valuable refresher, helping to reinforce learning previously covered, a reminder of things I’d forgotten and an update of best practice changes since my last first aid course. All delivered in a comfortable and friendly environment with plenty of fun tasks mixed in along the way. Thanks Pete.

Thanks for a great course. I learnt lots. Not bad as I have done something like 30 first aid courses previously.

I liked the pre eLearning work. it built a foundation for practical work. I also liked the way the trainer explained how the body works in given scenarios which provided context for understanding the response required. The course was really well delivered. Focussed but kept light enough to be absorbed. There was a lot to get through and it was very well paced. A very very worthwhile 2 days.

Very well delivered, lots of variety and a great range of equipment to enable us to practice and keep us engaged. Lots of slides, with the views to provide a change of brain stimulus. Great course, thank you.

Excellent course, delivered to a mixed audience of doctors and lay people, which is a challenge, but one that was overcome successfully.

Excellent course that adapted to the skill level and knowledge in the room, thus iterating us towards being better and more confident in talking action than a course founded strictly on a low baseline knowledge assumption.

Pete’s ability of illustrate points though stories and examples as first responder and outdoor practitioner punctuated the course and brought to life the needed though processes and decisions.

Another enjoyable course which kept the delivery style and pace fresh and engaging. Plenty of background information, examples and details to help bring each topic to life. Great use of resources from experts in each area rather than loads of slides.

A really useful and interesting 2 day course. Pete is thorough, engaging, inclusive and pragmatic in his approach to first aid, with lots of real-life experiences to share as learning points. The pre-course learning meant more time for practical learning on the course.

Great course, thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter's style is really relaxed and welcoming, great delivery of relevant and interesting 1st hand and 3rd party accounts of real situations that really highlights the importance of the skill. Excellent practical scenarios to keep you on your toes, and a nice dose of humour thrown in. Until next time, thanks.

Pete has excellent relevant background practical knowledge, which he freely shares when appropriate. The course is well supported with quality props and visual aids. The pre-course e-learning activity was excellent, enabling more time to concentrate on practical aspects. Time well spent.
