07/07/2024 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by Simon Clooney

It was an excellent day. Really practical, but also lots of common sense and practical advice (as opposed to remembering 'rules'). The hands on, straight forward and informative style has made me feel for the first time that I could be relied upon in an emergency should I ever need to be. Extremely high standard of teaching delivered in a very fun, practical and supportive way.
Please use these words if helpful as a review for your most excellent course.

20/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

Simon was very open, confident and clear when addressing all of the subjects in the course I had the pleasure in attending. With my learning difficulties I find it difficult to retain knowledge in a classroom environment, I was delighted and felt very comfortable in the humorous way the subjects were layed out and the he way the serious matters were approached in a no nonsense manner. I am more than happy with what I walked away with….

Testimonial from Steve Steele
08/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by Simon Clooney

Having held the formal FAW certification as a First Aider on major construction sites for over 35 years, & participated in many renewal/full multi day courses over that time, I found the format of this course extremely interesting and worthwhile, and more importantly presented in a practical manner reflecting real conditions, rather than in a 'lecture/carpeted floored' setting with rigorous observance of the 'Textbook' method of casualty treatment.

Testimonial from Phil Scotchbrook
08/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by Simon Clooney

Trainer was very good at explaining that First Aid is not an absolute skill with precision application of treatments/casualty management & any 'textbook' dressings/treatments, and practical measures were demonstrated to allow me to achieve the desired outcome and understanding of objectives.
Irrespective of content, all questions were answered in a positive manner with clear explanations.

Testimonial from Godfrey Owen
31/03/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

The course was very well managed given the current COVID restrictions. Even though practical outdoors group scenarios were unable to take place, it was still engaging as discussions went into greater depth and “what ifs” were considered around various topics. The opportunity to address any other content useful to our profession was given and taken up. Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you.

Kudos to Simon and Mark for a well organized and delivered course

Testimonial from Shane Wilson, PE Teacher
20/01/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

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.

Testimonial from TW Williamson
20/01/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

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.

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.

Testimonial from Mark Allen, Operations Manager- Brathay Trust, Brathay Trust

Great course and great teacher. The best I have been to.

Testimonial from Terence Hasler, Classroom Teacher, UWCSEA
22/08/2018 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

It was simply but effectively explained. Simon kept on repeating important information, which I find a very effective way for me to remember the different steps, especially when it can be confusing (e.g. DRSAB was drilled over and pver ). Simon is friendly, patient and entertaining but focuses on the seriousness of the potential dangers. A valuable, informative and excellent course.

Testimonial from Gilles Collong, Teacher, UWCSEA

14/11/2017 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

Simon was extremely knowledgeable and put everything across very clearly and in a very accessible way. The outdoor practical sessions were invaluable as we were able to really practice our newly learned skills but also problem solve, work together and discuss the scenarios. Simon also took note of the particular situations we might come across in an outdoors or underground situation and included these. I now feel much more confident in dealing with something if I need to. An excellent course! Would recommend for everyone to do.

Testimonial from Sue Fowler
30/10/2017 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

The trainer was particularly welcoming and knowledgable. He was open to discussions and ideas about covering what we thought was important as opposed to completely rigidly using an agenda which proved to be beneficial in terms of covering what we needed.

Simon was thorough and paid careful attention to time management and detail. He was working with a group that had some scheduling difficulties and he remained flexible yet conscience of course requirements. He was receptive to questions and engaged in "what-if" scenarios but stayed focused on bringing things back to the task at hand. He maintain just the right level of humor to balance the seriousness of the course material and was able to bring the "squirrels" back in check quite easily.

Simon explained the material in a way that made it directly applicable to our students and school scenarios and also helped us see how it could be transferred to a variety of situations outside of our school arena.

Simon was able to utilise his own experiences to explain why the skills we were learning were delivered in the way they were.
Simon was happy for discussions on areas of first aid to happen to allow others to share thoughts and to make us realise that there is no definite 'correct' way of doing first aid.

16/09/2013 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

I can honestly say that, in the past four years, I have never had a training course quite as informative and enjoyable as the Outdoor First Aid with Simon.
I found his approach to be very professional and relaxed, he was very charismatic and projected quite a considerable amount of information without sounding dull and monotonous. He came across very friendly and approachable and was clearly very knowledgeable about the subject of the course. I hope any further first aid training we do at The Phoenix Youth Project will be through Active-Aid.

Testimonial from Leigh Mavir
16/09/2013 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

I really enjoyed the First Aid Course! it was realistic information, usually I have gone to other first aid trainers and found the course to be boring, with text book information that just dosent really sink in, old fashioned and stuffy trainers. Simon delivered the course in a interesting and fun way involving everyone with plenty of practicals,would definetly go back.

Testimonial from Emma Gradon
11/09/2013 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Simon Clooney

I really enjoyed the course. I would have liked to probably done more serious scenarios like the bus crash as that was actually quite distressing even in a role play situation! If we had run a few more it might mean I had better muscle memory for a bad situation.

The only suggestion I would like to make is that I personally learn better if able to take notes. There was an awful lot of information to take in and I think I would have benefitted from taking notes throughout to help it sink in. It was great that we were given a booklet which when I read through am sure will help the learning sink in further.

Testimonial from Jan Rostron

Simon was warm, friendly and he created lots of drama which I could relate to

Having completed this course three years previously it was great to have the opportunity to go over the material again. The part of this course I enjoyed the most was having the opportunity to practice the First Aid skills over and over again as this really does help to fix them in your brain. Simon was excellent at explaining why we were carrying out the different parts of the first aid treatment and how they would help. By going outside and trying out our skills there really made you feel it was real.

Simon was an exceptional instructor. It is the first time I have left a First Aid course with enough confidence to truly believe I could be of some help at an accident scene.

Thank you!

I learned far more than I expected to and really enjoyed doing it. I think I could save someone's life if I were in the situation where I wouldn't have otherwise. Simon was great.

Despite previous training in first aid, I began the course with a great deal of anxiety and discomfort about my abilities as a first aid responder--16 hours later my confidence soared and I now feel better-prepared to respond during an emergency. For me, the most valuable part of this course was the continual practical application and repeated practice of DR ABC...! Thanks Simon!
