Testimonial from Nicky Curry, Director , I j curry & son ltd builders 15/04/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid I was really glad that the trainer taught us about the difference with male and female heart attack symptoms and spoke about removing bras when using a defibrillator. He was very knowledgeable about the statistics on women being less likely to receive CPR. This is the first time I have seen a first aid trainer acknowledge this and I think it’s great. 10/10

Lakes First Aid Luke was an excellent communicator and facilitator - the practical learning on this course was superb - so much better than any First Aid course I have been on before. Luke took the time to genuinely welcome and know who was in the room which enhanced the learning from the beginning. He had the skills to help people feel comfortable about getting involved in a very active way. Working with one other person through the day helped to build trust when we were practicing first aid skills physically. Thank you for an excellent day!

Would highlighly recommend to anyone working in the outdoors.

Testimonial from Steph Taylor, Project Co-ordinator, Love Solarhttp://www.love-solar.co.uk 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
Testimonial from Janet Brown, Senior Teaching Assistant, Chetwynde School 30/01/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Adrian Schultz, Head of Year, Nelson Thomlinson School 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid 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.
Testimonial from Shirley Gilmour, Walk Galloway with Shirley Ghttps://walkgalloway.com/ 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Rachel Button 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

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.

Testimonial from Stephanie Elliott, CIP, Cumbria Police 21/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I found the day to go by smoothly, Ross was a great trainer who was very engaging and enthusiastic with content that could otherwise seem dull. I felt that I learned a lot of practical knowledge and any questions I had were answered very well.
I left the course feeling like I had gained a lot of job specific first aid skills, and feeling well equipped with the knowledge to deal with incidents should they arise in my job and also generally in life, so I'd say the day was very valuable to me.
Testimonial from Joe Dobson, Gardener, Lakeland Gardens 06/01/2026 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by

Testimonial from Jonathon Mahon, Care Worker, New Reflexions 03/12/2025 — 'Activity First Aid (1 day)' course by
Lakes First Aid I recently completed the Emergency First Aid for Sport course and found it to be both practical and clear. The trainer used repetition to make sure we were confident in what to do in different situations, and they cleverly adapted scenarios to put us under some pressure.
This approach really reinforced the learning and gave me confidence that I’d know how to respond if needed. Highly recommended for anyone involved in sport or fitness.

Testimonial from Karl Steinegger, Lakeland leather 22/10/2025 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Lakes First Aid A great mix of knowledge and skills. It was in bite size chunks to aid memory with use of an app which really helped support with CPR skills and engaged staff, rather than traditional methods. Added element of fun with the songs which was needed after a full day of work then three hour twilight. Ross had a great rapport with staff and lots of them shared positive comments afterwards.

Lakes First Aid Thank you very much for the excellent delivery of this course. I've done many in the past but non as active, or truly rooted in a hands on, problem solving and confidence building approach. The many hours flew by with welcome changes in activities and in place - indoor/outdoor. I really welcomed the clear rule at the start of the course of no story telling. This kept us focused and relevant. I really appreciated the quality of refreshments too - these helped keep my energy and attention levels up. An excellent course - thank you Ross.

Testimonial from Patricia E McCarron 16/09/2025 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid I have attended a few first aid courses over 30 years and i will say Ross was a very good, interesting trainer, understanding different ways of learning and great knowledge how to keep his students attention and interest. i really appreciated his rule of not sharing personal stories unless in break times. In the past i always felt that the course often got took over with that 1 person who was there to learn but though they had more experience than the tutor.
Thank you Ross, you made 7.5 hrs of learning joyful with a great atmosphere. i have left this course a lot more confident to deal with emergencies and also i am more aware of the different, not so common signs of illness.

Testimonial from Jonathan Lloyd 26/03/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I found my last First Aid Course, with another provider, very overwhelming with a lot of information and being talked at. This was completely different - it was broken down into simple modules, explained, demonstrated and then we took it in turns in pairs or groups of 3 to have a go. Small, additional skills were then added with the same teaching style. This really worked for me and I found it very easy to remember. Our trainer was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable and you felt completely relaxed and confident on his course. I would recommend this provider to everyone!

Lakes First Aid I really enjoyed the course. Luke was engaging and found fun ways to challenge our thinking. The atmosphere was relaxed and even though I found myself having quite a giggle at times, I could easily recall what I had learned after the course had finished. I work as a gardener and have a number of vulnerable clients in rural areas, which is what prompted me to take the course - knowing this, Luke made every attempt he could to tailor his teaching to a garden-related scenario for me and did so for other learners who were there for reasons outside of the ML or SPA course context. Would highly recommend Lakes First Aid!

There is still a feeling of 'too much to take in' and the decision making gets blurred, so if you had the means to make a laminated card that could slip into a rucksack so you had a reminder of 'if this, then X, ... If that, then this...' then that would be really helpful.

Testimonial from Catherine Reid, Receptionist, Belle Vue Vets 28/02/2023 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid There seems to be increasing evidence supporting the prioritisation of CPS over 'Breathing' - Greater clarity and and an officially promoted position on this would be reassuring. i.e. If I did prioritise pumping blood to the brain over 'brething' might I be deemed 'guilty' of not 'breathing' - despite evidence?

Testimonial from Gordon MacKay, Project Management Capability Lead 24/02/2023 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid I dont have any issue with how the cource went, some off the things I learned in this couce I dont rememebr doing a few years ago, which would be no supprise with traning refreshers and how procedures change. It just made my job much easier when an emergency situation were to happened, including a few changes I need to make in my normal daily routine so I can pass onto the others staff.
As Defibs access and accessibility to the builing will need to be changed for quicker routes, including a few first aid practicals with staff just to help make them aware off what to do as ive noticed abit off confusion with the safety arrangements. So these refreshers help alot thank you.

There were lots of hands on scenarios and time taken to reflect on performance and ask questions. I felt I could ask any question without being worried I was asking a silly question. There were no details that weren’t explored; what to expect when you dial 999, will the call handler know where you are, what details to give, what to do if someone recovers from CPR, how protocols vary for different age groups etc

Testimonial from Joshua Murray, Student, University of Cumbria 27/01/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid The outdoor first aid has been an invaluable experience. Having attended previous first aid courses that were all classroom based, this course approached applying skills in a new environment and more flexible manner that has helped me to feel more confident if an event was to occur. The resources used were really helpful and gave the opportunity to put into practice what we had learned. The trainers were excellent. They are clearly very knowledgeable and their enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you for an excellent course.
Testimonial from Georgina Handley 25/01/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Stewart Cousins 25/01/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid Ross was very dynamic, engaged and engaging, and he was clearly drawing upon a lot of experience of first aid being given in remote UK outdoor areas. Probably the most enjoyable first aid course I have done in 25 years.
Making use of De-fibrillators and choking harnesses was really useful!
Testimonial from Simon Carr, Associate Professor in Geography, University of Cumbria 25/01/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Lakes First Aid Having participated in three of their Outdoor First Aid courses, Lakes First Aid are quite simply the best provider of first aid training I've encountered to date. It's the way in which the training is designed and integrated with practical, scenario-based exercises that's a stand out element that builds your confidence during the course. The use of cutting edge kit to practise, illustrate and develop key skills is also exemplary in highlighted the company's constant efforts to develop and improve their courses. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Testimonial from Pauline Farley, Outreach Support Officer, Community Gateway association 10/01/2023 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Lakes First Aid I really like how the course can be done online before having a day course, it splits it up well. I have done a few first aid courses but learnt some things today that I’ve never been shown or taught before. Luke made the day fun, he explained things well, he gave us time, I really liked how much group work was involved and how hands on we were other than just sitting and listening. The venue was great as it provided lots of space and was warm enabling us to work well and concentrate, I would recommend this course to anyone. Thank you to Luke!
Testimonial from Sophie Kirkbride 17/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid After more than 40 years of regular first aid course updates this must count as one of the best courses that I have taken part in. Luke was thorough and efficient in his course delivery and yet at the same time managed to maintain a relaxed and informal approach that enabled questions and discussion and enhanced learning. Thank you very much
Testimonial from Richard Simpson 17/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid This was probably the most engaging and enjoyable first aid course that I have attended. I've been part of some pretty good ones over the 40 odd years where I have updated every 3 years, but Luke's delivery kept me interested and totally motivated throughout. Thank you Luke.
Testimonial from Susan Simpson 14/12/2022 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by

Testimonial from Fiona Hammond 07/12/2022 — ' First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Lucy Gibson, Senior Advisor, Natural Englandhttp://www.gov.uk/natural-england 02/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I was anxious before starting the course because I had very little knowledge of or confidence in performing First Aid. However, I found the course to be very supportive and non-judgemental of complete novices like me. Ross was very enthusiastic and made the learning fun and easy to follow. I also found the outdoor exercises incredibly useful as they simulated what I might encounter at work and the importance of the surrounding environment. I now feel confident and knowledgeable enough to respond to a range of casualties which I feel is invaluable not just in my work outdoors but also in everyday life.
Testimonial from Isobel Grindrod, Freshwater Lead Adviser, Natural England 02/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I have done a lot of first aid courses over my career and this course was by far the best one that I have been on. The outdoor scenarios and role playing really makes this course stand out from classroom courses. In my opinion an outdoor course should be the new standard. I say this because the office environment is variable and people may need first aid in car parks, stair wells, small spaces, etc…
Ross is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate course tutor, but I found that his involvement as a first responder and work with mountain rescue provided additional level of respect and credibility.
Testimonial from Paul Breslin, Freshwater Lead Advisor, Natural England 30/11/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Lakes First Aid Ross is clearly a very experienced First Aid Practitioner drawing on a wealth of practical knowledge from a diverse range of previous experiences in the Outdoor sector. His background as an Outdoor Instructor in a range of water and land based activities also adds to the relevance and practical nature of his delivery. It was evident from the presentations that Ross has kept abreast with current research, trends and thinking and has adapted information accordingly. The props that he has developed are well designed to facilitate understanding and enhance learning. The balance of 'teacher' led input and 'peer' led discovery was excellent, keeping us awake and engaged at all times. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the outdoor industry whether it be Center Instructors, School teachers or freelance Instructors like myself.

Testimonial from Nicola Woodier, Head Chocolatier, Friars of Keswick 16/09/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid As someone who isn't keen on blood, First Aid courses are something I usually hate doing. As a youth leader I have to do a course every 3 years. When I went on an Active Aid First Aid Course I knew I wouldn't be worrying about them anymore.
Active Aid presents the course in a way that is simple and easy to understand and remember and there are no horror stories shared.
The course teacher was great at answering all our questions and encouraging our answers as well as correcting us if we needed it in a positive way.
I am hoping there will be an active aid course available in 3 years when I need to update my first aid.
Thank you so much!

Testimonial from Joe De Groot, Forestry 24/04/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid Ross's enthusiasm and charisma made this course very engaging and interesting. The way in which he invited questions from the group and using a 'what if' system for the participants allowed everyone to get from the course what they needed and apply it to their own industries/roles. There was a huge amount of content covered, and it was great to apply what was learned in outdoor scenarios working in pairs of a group of 3.
It would be great if there was more opportunity to do some more scenarios, maybe in larger groups and more simulation of a day out walking (carrying kit to make use of, personal first aid kits etc). Another half day or full day for this extra would have been valuable in my opinion, and something worth paying for (even if it still provided the same level of qualification.
The booking process for the course was simple and easy. The correspondence before and after was timely and useful. It was also nice to have tea/coffee and biscuits provided! Thanks a lot! Ben

He turns what could be two days of very dry content into an engaging and often entertaining study using phrases and methods which help make it stick. Add in proper outdoor scenarious rolling about in wet, cold ground and you very quickly appreciate how a csualty can go downhill quickly - perhaps even literally on a slope!

Testimonial from Mark Costello, Parts Man, Johnston Tractors Ltd 11/11/2021 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Lakes First Aid The online course was good the way it was set out, easy to follow and not too much information before a test on it. In comparison to other courses this leader has a sensible practical attitude ( others have been scary stories of how could be sued if broke a rib doing cpr etc) The practical session was good as it was small numbers and good practical session, covering all areas we would need in a school setting. Again in comparison to some other courses I felt I was training to be a Dr not a First Aider.

Testimonial from Solange Ponce, Lead Adviser ( Natural England) 26/10/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid The course was so well designed for both refreshers and first aid newbies with lots of hands on practice. Ross was thorough with the covid measures and everything was properly cleaned before and after use. One of the best things for me was that Ross always had a tip or alternative way to approach something if you struggled - he made it as easy as possible to achieve the learning which meant I have FINALLY felt confident doing CPR chest compressions, I'd not managed this previous courses so am very happy.
I'd definitely recommend this course to colleagues and will be back in 3 years for another refresher!

Testimonial from Robin Sanderson 30/04/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid The Outdoor First Aid 2-day course by Lakes First Aid has a comprehensive and well-thought through syllabus, focused on outdoor leaders, their needs and the potential scenarios with which they may need to deal. Significant value-add came from the course instructor's long-standing involvement with the local mountain rescue team, enabling him to convincingly contextualise the course material and offer authoritative personal insight and perspective. The instructor’s relaxed but informative delivery style was a real boon and made the course an absolute pleasure – just the right touch applied in keeping the lessons to time while making time to discuss individual experiences to aid exploration of the topic. I was impressed by the level of detail evident in the COVID secure procedures under which the course operated. In short, top marks for content, top marks for delivery, top marks for knowledge transfer and top marks for student experience.

Testimonial from Rachel McBurnie 10/12/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by

Testimonial from Christopher Robson 04/11/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Lakes First Aid Definitely the best first-aid course I've attended. It was clear, well structured and well delivered, covering all the crucial aspects of emergency first-aid. The step-by-step protocols and handy acronyms were really helpful and these were reinforced by the simulated scenarios, which challenged us to apply the skills we had learned in a more realistic and variable environment. There were also lots of really useful insights, 'myth-busters' and other tips specific to the outdoor setting. Ross was upbeat and approachable, extremely knowledgeable and great at responding to questions. While I hope never to have to use the things we learned, the course left me feeling far more confident. Thank you!
Testimonial from Natalie Simpsom, Senior Editor, Cicerone Press 23/10/2020 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Mike Pigott 09/08/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid A superb and informative course about outdoor first aid. The practical scenarios help embed the theory and the actions to be practised and built upon each time.
Ross is really good at explaining how first aid can be applied in the outdoors and tailored the information provided to the activities undertaken by the members of the group.
The course is hard work but relaxed and at no point do you feel silly if you say something that isn't correct. During the scenarios the first aider and the casualty can work together as the main goal is to improve everyone's first aid knowledge. I am looking forward to renewing in three years!
Testimonial from Jennifer Palmer 06/08/2020 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by

Taking some of the practice outside was different from other courses I have done and added a touch of reality to role play, it even rained on us briefly. I came home with lots of helpful ideas such as phone apps and improving my own first aid kit. Thankyou Ross and team for providing great training under challenging Covid 19 rules for safety.

Lakes First Aid The trainer started with the fundamentals of first aid, giving us plenty of time to practice primary surveys in the outdoors, before building up our knowledge and skills from there. No previous knowledge was assumed.
On the softer side, it was also lovely to be provided with such great coffee, tea, biscuits and cake ... and to have a warm hall to retreat to during the wild winter weather!

Testimonial from Kerry Rennie, Senior Manager, Natural England 02/02/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid Quite simply the best first aid course I've ever been on. Ross's time working in outdoor rescue meant that he has a level of personal practical experience that is rare in the sector and this came across in the design and delivery of the course. The inclusion of well thought through role playing exercises that gradually grew in complexity whilst reinforcing the key learning outcomes was really useful and meant that I left the two days feeling confident in my ability to handle a real-world situation if one ever arises.

He taught us in a very informal "easy to learn" way and the two days just flew by.

Testimonial from Josephine Carding-Walker, Owner, Dens, Daisies and Discoveries Forest School 15/09/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Chris Waters 13/09/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid I enjoyed this first aid course (which is probably the first one I've enjoyed), the teaching was simple and easy to understand. The practical was explained beforehand and done in a way that I didn't feel on show but the tutor was on hand to ask any questions and help if needed.
I came away far more confident in my abilities due to the way the course was taught. And because the right amount of information was given with ways to remember it, I don't think I will forget the training so when I have to use it, I will remember what I need to do.
(And it was really nice to go on a course where no horror stories were told, we were just simply taught to do first aid.)
Massive thank you!

Testimonial from Sam Coombes, Highways operative, Kier 17/07/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I have been doing first aid training for over 23 years annually and also have completed three previous REC courses, this was by far the most impressive and progressive approach I’ve experienced. First aid can be a lot of this and that... however this was simple, straight and manageable.
I really enjoyed it, the trainer was knowledgeable and approachable.... I’ve already recommended it to my pal within 2 hours of driving away.
Testimonial from Lee Magowan 17/07/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid This is a great course to get you thinking about scenarios. The content is kept simple - in a good way - easier to remember when the real thing happens. Luke was knowledgable, happy to discuss queries but also kept things moving.
