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.

Pete delivers an excellent programme. His common sense, frank approach to being a first-aider is a breath of fresh air. He offers support throughout, is entertaining and relates well to everyone. Quite inspirational.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found the CPR and linking to the app on your phone very interesting and informative. The videos used were in depth and interesting to watch. I would recommend as a course to others.

I will be in my 80th year when my First Aid certificate needs to be updated. If I choose to renew it, I would not hesitate to enrol on another of Pete Cunningham’s courses. His courses are fun, thoughtfully presented, challenging and brilliantly organised. He is without doubt the best First Aid course provider that I have been taught by

The course was really insightful, up to date and interesting. I've done several courses with Pete now but I learn something new every time. It is varied and the perfect balance between practical exercises and academic course content. I would recommend Pete's courses to anyone.

Pete did such a great job delivering the course and made us all feel at ease. This has a massive impact on how we will go forward and be able to jump in when needed and give the first aid feeling not only competent but without panicking in the situation.

Pete is an excellent trainer who delivers a well-paced and informative course. Being able to obtain a certificate towards my driver CPC is also very useful. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a simple, effective grounding in first aid.
