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.

I thoroughly recommend Pete's 2-day first aid course. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, a very personable style, and lots of kit for participants to practice on. I started the course knowing next to nothing about serious first aid, and finished the course feeling confident that I could respond well to a broad range of potential incidents and save lives.

Pete is fantastic! I was terrified of the course; I now have a "script" to use in situations and clear ideas of how to progress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the course and would do it again tomorrow! Pete's very practical approach gave plenty of opportunities to practise and his 'stories' were exceedingly useful and will inform my first aid and keep it in my mind for many years to come. Thank you Pete!

An excellent first aid, superbly delivered. The trainer instilled confidence and passed on knowledge extremely well. The whole 2 days were informative, packed full with lots of interactive, visual and auditory sections and I really appreciated the real life stories and accounts to back up scenarios.

Once again (I think this might of been my seventh with Pete) I came away feeling confident of applying FA when the need arises. I never fail to learning something new or improve on a skill that might make a difference to somebody one day.
