04/06/2025 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by Lakes First Aid

I thought the combination of an online element prior to the practical part of the course was very good - it meant the practical part gave lots of time for hands on experience which instills more confidence - a much better balance than I have experienced in many other first aid training courses prior to this.
The trainer was so enthusiastic and delivered the course so effectively. I was very impressed overall.

Ross delivered the course fully, enthusiastically, and in great detail, with humour and knowledge to a diverse group who had a wide range of experience. As a retired teacher it was a joy to take part in. I feel significantly better prepared than I was before the course. Thank you!

I've worked in the NHS since 1991 and attended multiple First Aid courses. This one beat all of them hands down. The trainer ( Ross) clearly knew his stuff, and explained everything really well. I learned more on this course in one day than I did in my entire time in the NHS. It was interactive with so much opportunity to learn and practice with great training resources. I really enjoyed the day.Thankyou

It was reassuring to ve able to ask questions that had been concerning ne. The trainer answered clearly and was supportive. I feel more reassured and confident not only about skills but about the role/ responsibility and liability etc He ensured that all tasks were clear and had been carefully demonstrated. He offered advice and encouragement during practical tasks and ensured the whole day was conducive to learning. He managed a group with very differing needs and experience so that a felt included, more knowledgeable and confident by the end of the day. Humour was used appropriately but advice and crucial information and guidance was delivered with authority and care.

A really enjoyable, although intensive course, but I do feel more confident in giving first aid, and not avoiding a situation.
