The course was really detailed, providing plenty of clarity on how to approach various first aid scenarios. The practical scenarios were really useful for embedding what we had learnt in the classroom and making the process feel more natural. Ross was a very good instructor, explaining everything very clearly and making a welcoming environment to ask lots of questions. I feel like I have come away from the course feeling a lot more confident in my first aid knowledge and my ability to apply those skills if I ever need to. Thank you!

Luke has a great style of delivery and I learnt more on this course than I have on any other, and I’ve attended a few! He has a way of explaining things that stick with you. He is patient, encouraging and non judgemental which means we were willing to give everything a go. Practical elements of the course were essential and done brilliantly. I really enjoyed it and feel much more confident to administer first aid, particularly outdoors, and in an energency.

Testimonial from Kirsty Maidment

09/07/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Lakes First Aid

The whole course was effective and engaging - the right mixture of humour and professionalism used to deliver, alongside advanced knowledge and experience applied perfectly and differentiated well for the mixed group of participants. I will be using your company every time from now on, even though you're not the most convenient to me for travel/time. I've come away feeling more confident than I have from previous courses and I've been doing them every 3 years for at least 25 years.
