I wasn't looking forward to the course, having done them previously I know they are long and pretty intense. Luke managed to make the course informative with a good level of practical involvement. A good day, thank you!

Another well delivered 2 day First Aid Course. Luke has a style and approach which helps, enormously, with learning and when added to his depth of (live) professional knowledge in the outdoors, lends itself to both an interesting, informative and enjoyable course - thank you.

Thank you for another excellent course. Luke is a superb trainer and keeps things super practical and relevant to the realities of dealing with first aid in the outdoor setting. The approach is kept simple and relevant with plenty of opportunity to repeat practice which helped me to consolidate and actually be confident to use the skills that are directly relevant. Would definitely recommend and book with them again. Thank you!

A great refresher course from Lakes First Aid - Ross led really helpful discussions and created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that allowed everyone in our group to engage. The mix of theory, discussion and practical was perfect - and the new high-tech Annie's were a fun way to test our resuscitation skills!

31/01/2026 — 'Forest Schools First Aid ' course by Lakes First Aid

Well resourced accommodation. Luke as trainer is clear, informative, makes things as simple as possible and gives both good examples during discussion and excellent hands on scenarios , which breaks down knowledge into chunks and then slowly builds these when working through scenarios. Lot of repetition to allow you to remember key strategies. Makes participants feel comfortable to contribute and is skilled at questioning to develop knowledge and critical thinking

30/01/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by Lakes First Aid

This course was just great from start to finish and I took away a lot of useful knowledge and confidence in first aid if I ever needed to have to use it.

It has given me a lot more confidence with first aid and some really good tips for improving some of the procedures of my guided walks. Huge thanks go to Ross. I definitely think you need your own You Tube channel!

I had the most amazing time learning outdoor first aid with Luke of Lakes First Aid, and now know I can go fully prepared to help out for any incident should it arise on the fell or in an urban environment.

Testimonial from Ruth Anna Caulcott-Cooper

28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Lakes First Aid

This was my second 16-hour Outdoor FA course with Lakes First Aid. Although I have to travel quite a distance to attend training with them it is entirely worth the extra time and expense to receive top class training and I would not even think of going elsewhere now. The course is very practical, focuses on the real priorities for a First Aider and includes lots of hands-on practice scenarios which builds confidence in using the step approach to casualty injury/illness diagnosis. I will be returning to Lakes First Aid when I need to do refresher training again in 3-years time.

The course was great - Ross was really enthusiastic and knowledgable. The equipment you have made all the difference - being able to actually try things out, and break up the day was perfect - I really enjoyed it.

Thank you for an excellent course Luke. I both enjoyed it and came away pleased to have had my first aid knowledge and skills so well updated.

Testimonial from Richard Simpson

27/01/2026 — ' First Aid at Work' course by Lakes First Aid

This is one of the best first aid courses I have participated in. Ross was knowledgeable, confident and interesting. It was great that anicdotes weren't allowed and this saved so much time! The different scenarios were interesting and made me think, things weren't always as they seemed. I never felt that this was meant to catch us out, I felt it was to make us think and keep us interested. I don't think I have ever left a first aid course feeling as confident as I did this time.
