Testimonial from John O'Boyle, Registered Manager, Witherslack Group
04/03/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

Andrew was absolutely brilliant - so knowledgable, very funny, kind and willing to give the best explanations and answer all questions. He clearly has brought so many years of personal experience as a paramedic to the table and you can really tell. He made a long day feel short with his unwavering enthusiasm and tackled tough subjects with ease. It's a serious day, but I think the relaxed atmosphere helped me to absorb a great deal of information and skills that I could use, but *touch wood* I won't have to use. Also, great tech! Having a monitor on the CPR dummy was a real help, to get an accurate feel for pace, pressure etc.

Thanks Andrew for your insights, experience and kind atmosphere.

The person who delivered the session was very thorough and provided additional information later as well when I asked, which might not be directly linked with the club I am providing this service later but in general. They were in-depth in describing various aspects of first aid including what is happening around the globe and what's relevant in UK, which showed the accumulated wealth of knowledge he has along with practical experience. The venue was neat and clean and was professionally equipped. All the equipments were cleared explained and individually cleaned for use. There were enough breaks in between to gather or thoughts and refresh. Really enjoyed the session as a whole and updated my previous knowledge.

The CPR practical was excellent and the extra computers attached as part of the Manikin was an excellent addition to ensuring you were delivering the correct pressure and breaths in the correct timing. Andrew and Ang made the course plus F fun, easy to understand and get involved in with plenty of opportunity to ask questions throughout.

The first aid training course was absolutely brilliant.
The trainers were very knowledgeable, presented the course with professionalism and fun.
You could ask any questions or ask advice without embarrassment.
Angie and Andrew made what initially was a bit of a daunting day into a great day. I've come away far more confident than when I started the day and with greater confidence to be a first aider if ever needed. Thank you both

Surprisingly for a first aid course, the day was fun! It was delivered in an engaging way, with plenty of opportunity to try out skills. The trainers were clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and were able to relay their knowledge in a 'real life', no nonsense and practical way. I now feel that I would know what to do in an emergency situation and have the confidence to take action.

I really enjoyed this course, it was good how we were able to practice the techniques we were taught on a manikin which then gave us a score, it gave me a lot of confidence as i came into the course not sure what to expect and will little to no experience. Everyone who was on the course were at different levels of experience however the organizers made no one feel left out. I couldn't recommend this course enough, the amount you learn in a day is amazing. I will defiantly be returning in 3 years!

Testimonial from Heather Holden, Teaching Assistant., Ambleside C of E Primary School
25/02/2024 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

My colleagues were jealous when they heard which First Aid training I was attending and after spending a couple of days with Angie and Andrew - now I know why! They made everyone feel very welcome and comfortable, particularly those of us who may have initially felt self-conscious who were either new to First Aid training or VERY rusty! Drinks and biscuits were in constant supply (always a winner) so there was no excuse to be dehydrated or peckish! Angie and Andrew were both brilliant at delivering the programme. There was a lot of content to cover but their hands-on experience, extensive knowledge and real life examples they shared to illustrate the 'theory' was fantastic. If the aim is to help new knowledge stick, their style of delivery is what you need! An effective mixture of theory, real-life examples, and where appropriate, we had a practice ourselves with a variety of training equipment.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone needing to gain a First Aid qualification or refresh their knowledge and skills.

22/02/2024 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

I’ve done a few paediatric first courses and this was the best by far. Andrew and Angie had so many real life experiences to share, which made such a difference. They were able to demonstrate the seriousness of the content discussed, giving us the knowledge we needed but in such a humorous (and respectful) way…I don’t think think I’ve ever laughed so much on a first aid course!
And on a venue note, I don’t drink tea or coffee and I’ve never had a table on a course with such a lot of drinks for me to choose from! Thank you!

Testimonial from Kirsty Ireland
22/11/2023 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

In the 40+ years I have been a nurse, I consider this to be the best first aid course I have attended. The content, delivery, equipment & facilities were excellent. I enjoyed the relaxed & friendly approach of the trainers. Their humour and anecdotes were entertaining / interesting often enforcing reality. Attendees were made to feel at ease, no pressure was put on them and questions/discussions were welcomed. What I especially appreciated was the digital monitoring of the effectiveness of our CPR and also the explanations given as to what happens in the body / why we do things, rather than just being told to do it. Of course, the limitless cups of tea/coffee & chocolate biscuits was an added bonus.

Andrew and Angie were absolutely fantastic, they were both so friendly and obviously passionate about helping the average person feel confident in delivering first aid should they find themselves in that position. They taught by deivering the information required and putting this into context and even had a story about how they themselves had delt with some unbeleievable situations, as they had been or still are working as paramedics. The testimonials added such a depth and authenticity to the course that it made the two days we were there not just informative but enlightening, you were being taught by the best of the best. I have nothing but praise for the programe, i learnt so much, it was well delivered, well planned, well organised and accessible for all learners.

Excellent course, great instructor who had loads of experience and a vast knowledge. Also had a very friendly personality which put me at ease and made it comfortable to ask any questions and interact with him and others. The equipment was excellent too, and helped to give me confidence that in a real situation I would be able to do what was necessary as I had had practice on realistic equipment. The course didn't feel like 'a lesson', but was actually enjoyable and interesting. In addition I would like to thank Andy for all his work as a paramedic. To have done this job, seeing the things he has seen and having dealt with the situations he has is truly incredible. And now he is delivering these courses to enable others to help people and save lives as he has. It's very much appreciated, thank you!

Thank you, you've provided me with another engaging and informative training session. I always feel reassured that the information that you are teaching is as up to date and relevant as it can be due to you both being paramedics, plus the real life experience that you feed into the course makes it really interesting.

(Also I can vouch for your advice on how to remove blood stains from school shirts, it worked a treat, that advice was worth the course fee in itself!!)

Thank you Angie and Andrew for your kindness and encouragement to my colleague who was very nervous. You had a perfect balance of humour and obvious expertise and no one felt like they couldn’t question anything they were unsure of.

Great venue and everything very well organised. It was really important to me to be able to physically try out procedures on the 'toys' - the best way of learning and gaining confidence.

I strongly recommend this courseas presented by Kentdale as it gives students the opportunity to practice CPR and the use of a defibrillator on a dummy each so there is no waiting around to take turns. The presenter has many examples to quote from personal experience as a paramedic which brings to life (or not) each of the lesson elements

11/05/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

A good thorough grounding in first aid delivered by interesting and obviously experienced trainers. Probably due to their past employment the trainers are well aware that most emergencies do not occur in textbook situations and can often require problem solving and improvisation. The possibility that you may need to think outside of the box and how you might do that is corporated into each of the modules. I give 5 Stars for that alone.

22/02/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

It was a very useful course especially after three years since the last course I was on. During the years I haven’t had to deal with many large accidents at work, usually just cuts and bumps from the open farm aspect of the business. Many of the more serious accidents usually happen to myself or my boss due to the nature of the work we are involved in. Even though this is, it was good to refresh on more critical first aid such as CPR as my last experience of this was when my dad sadly had a heart attack on a family ski holiday in early 2020 and didn’t make it. It is reassuring to know that if the time ever came that I would need to use this skill I would be able to perform it correctly and the computer in the CPR dummy really came in useful to show this. I will hopefully be back in three years for another refresher!

19/02/2022 — 'Basic Life Support' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

Andrew is an excellent trainer and presents the course so that everyone feels at ease and relaxed and able to ask questions without feeling embarrassed . We were supplied with our own individual CPR model, defibrillator and pocket mask and Andrew attended to everyone individually to check that we were all competent and comfortable using them. There is no role play-that is a major positive! Andrew is very eager to make sure sure that all the delegates understand everything and explains everything very well. He goes over and beyond to ensure we have all understood what’s required from the course plus more. Andrew spent additional time with us answering all our questions. Using the Heimleich manoeuvre on someone wearing the special vest was also good.

Andrew and Angie's stories of their experiences made it very interesting and made learning easier to remember. Both very friendly and happy to answer questions even if it meant going off planned topic. Best course I've done (done 8 over the years!) despite covid restrictions. Very relaxed and enjoyable but very informative.
Also, little touches such as sweets in everyone's individual pack and even a pen provided were very thoughtful.

i have been on many first aid courses in my 33 years of work but this one was by far the most beneficial .

01/09/2021 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by Kentdale First Aid Training

Having attending many first aid courses this was by far the best as it was delivered by paramedics who had real life examples for all the medical conditions we studied. It was fascinating and kept us all engaged. The level of the equipment we used was excellent, the CPR dummies having a counter on then to see percentage of compressions and breaths was really helpful and interesting. We will definitely be recommending and using Kentdale in the future.Thank you both I feel confident and capable with delivering first aid.
