Testimonial from Sharron Hutchinson, Cycle coach, Kendal cycle club 01/06/2025 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited I found the 'acting' out - especially the realistic/scary noises made - to be very helpful and something that is more likely to stay with me than just being told about symptoms.

Testimonial from Naima Milhofer 03/08/2024 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited This course will have been my 12th or 13th re-qualification but my first using the blended option. I like it! Removes the pressure of having to find a course which matches potential free days. On-line section is flexable and easy to follow/complete.My instructor for the "classroom" day was highly experienced, very knowledgeable and quickly instilled confidence in and a rapport with our group.Good venue, a plentiful supply of equipment and nice mix of teaching styles. In short, one of the most enjoyable courses I've attended in many years.

Testimonial from Ruth Elstone, Bolton Primary School 23/06/2023 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited David was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He clearly has lots of experience in this field and enjoys what he does. He used his own experiences as scenarios which I found helped understand why we use the processes he taught us. I feel that the skills learnt in this course are invaluable and everybody should attend a first aid course, not just for at work but for at home too.

Testimonial from Graham Snowdon 04/09/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited Would like to say thanks again. It was great to re-sit the corse, it’s surprising how much you forget about first aid when you don’t have to use it. Great corse, great tutor.. thanks again
Testimonial from Andrew Bell, Tree surgeon 16/08/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited A great course delivered by a hugely experienced trainer. It was an at times graphic look at the reality of dealing with certain situations, without any time wasted on applying immaculate bandages. Hopefully I'll never need it, but David's descriptions of the noises and sights we may encounter may just help to reduce that initial shock when dealing with a situation in the real world.
Testimonial from Rhys Jones 08/05/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Active First Aid Training Limited I really enjoyed the course and more importantly learned a lot. Would definitely recommend it. The online handbook provided is great.
