Kentdale First Aid Training Thank you Andrew for being so kind and responsive. This was the best first aid course I have ever been on, and I was so happy to practice CPR without limitations like time or needing to share the dolls. I also remembered more of what you said because of the lived experiences and stories you told during learning. I have been able to remember and tell others about what to do in emergencies. So thank you!

Testimonial from Bethany Thomas, Natural England 29/04/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid The quality of the delivery was excellent throughout. Luke was an outstanding tutor, and this was the second time I have attended this course with him. His depth of knowledge, calm manner, and engaging delivery style really stood out. He created a supportive and welcoming learning environment, encouraged questions and discussion, and was very effective at adapting content to the needs and experience of the group.
The resources were very well prepared and well suited to outdoor first aid, with realistic equipment and scenarios that supported practical, hands‑on learning. Everything was clearly organised, which helped the course run smoothly over the two days.
There was also a real sense of warmth and positivity throughout the programme. Combined with the beautiful outdoor setting, this significantly enhanced the learning experience and made the course both enjoyable and memorable.
Testimonial from Matthew Ryder, Director, Lakes & Mountains with Matt Limitedhttp://www.lakesandmountains.uk 29/04/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Helen Attewell, Volunteer walk leader, HF Holidays 29/04/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid This was my second First Aid course organised through Watchtree Nature Reserve. The first by a different provider, whilst adequate, stuck to basics and didn't inspire my confidence.
Lakes First Aid was, thankfully, completely different. Delivered with boundless and infectious enthusiasm and containing the latest advice and techniques. The repeated practical sessions really helped to consolidate the learning.
The very useful hints and tips on how to access emergency information and make the most of what a mobile telephone can provide was eye opening. The defibrillator demonstration has made me feel much more confident in their use if needed.
Overall an excellent course to gain new knowledge and techniques and has made me feel significantly more confident that if I found someone in need of assistance I would help rather than stand by and hope that someone else would step in.
Testimonial from Richard Spiers, Chairman of Trustees, Watchtree Nature Reserve 28/04/2026 — 'Forest Schools First Aid ' course by

Testimonial from Sofia Convertino, Duke of Edinburgh lead and PE teacher, GAT 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!
Testimonial from Sarah Young, Outdoor Retreat Leader 26/03/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Sophie Teasdale, University of Cumbria 26/03/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I have completed multiple outdoor first aid courses and this was by far the best delivery I have experienced. The courses content was robust and relevant with David making every effort to tailor it for the diverse needs of the professional roles each delegate held in the room. His wealth of experience as a paramedic and work within healthcare was invaluable to understanding the practical application of each section of the course and the pitfalls of dealing with each scenario in ‘the real world.’ A superb couple of days that flew by and gave me the confidence and reassurance of dealing with situations if they should ever occurs.
Testimonial from Sam Reynolds, Teacher and outdoor education leader 25/03/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Would highlighly recommend to anyone working in the outdoors.

Testimonial from Jane Toothill 18/03/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid I thought that the day was great. Luke was a good instructor and was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. I liked the practical elements and the way that he broke things down.

Testimonial from John Coates 11/03/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Pete made the first aid training highly relevant to modern life and being outdoors. He delivered the content through storytelling, multimedia and interaction, which made the learning engaging, practical and easy to absorb.
I especially appreciated Pete speaking about the importance of self care and awareness of our mental and emotional wellbeing after delivering first aid, particularly when trauma may have been involved. Hearing him share his own experience and speak openly about this, as a man, felt powerful and important. For me, that was one of the most valuable parts of the two days.

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
Lakes First Aid This course was just great from start to finish and I took away a lot of useful knowledge and confidence in first aid if I ever needed to have to use it.
Testimonial from Darren Hunter, Solar fitter, Love solar 29/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. This training was far and away the best I have ever been on for first aid and I have been on many as a school pupil/swimming teacher/ lifeguard/ teacher. It was very engaging, real, affecting and did a brilliant job of combining lots of detail and information explaining bodily functions, scenarios and the "whys" of what we are doing etc while also paring things down to simple basics meaning I feel far more clear in my role as a first aider. The training covered so much; it related to my professional life of course but also very much to my personal life and brought into sharp focus everyone's potential fragility and the need for everyone to have these skills. A very powerful course that I would get both my very active sons to do if they lived locally! Thank you. I have lots to take back to school and to my family and friends.
Testimonial from Nicki Bradbury, Head teacher, Nether Kellet Community Primary 29/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Adrian Schultz, Head of Year, Nelson Thomlinson School 28/01/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

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 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.

Kentdale First Aid Training Really enjoyed the course . The way Andrew delivered the information practically & visually first was great & then reviewed it via the white board. Im sure this is a really effective way to learn & retain the information , thus giving you the confidence to save someone or administer first Aid if the situation presented its self. So thank you Andrew

Testimonial from Simon Ghey, MET Property Maintenance 19/09/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Pete is fantastic! I was terrified of the course; I now have a "script" to use in situations and clear ideas of how to progress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the course and would do it again tomorrow! Pete's very practical approach gave plenty of opportunities to practise and his 'stories' were exceedingly useful and will inform my first aid and keep it in my mind for many years to come. Thank you Pete!

Testimonial from Joseph Hawthorne, Met 16/09/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
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.

Kentdale First Aid Training The ability Andrew had in explaining things and why was great. For years i have known how to use a defibrillator but not the understanding of why the pads go where they do. I know now! There were numerous other explanations as to why, which other first aid courses have failed to achieve the theory behind in the level of detail i received on this course.

Kentdale First Aid Training A really great and thorough course, however, I'm not sure if I missed it on the welcome email but, my colleague and I didn't know the finish time.
Our health and safety officer booked it so maybe she had the info. But I couldn't find confirmation. Just handy for childcare purposes. Apologies if I've just missed it.
Testimonial from Jennifer Kirkby, Community Fundraiser, St. John's Hospice 30/07/2025 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training There was an awful lot to learn during this day course but I felt the information was very clear and easy to keep track of as the day went on. The day flowed well and it was great to be able to ask questions as we went along rather than have questions at the end. We had opportunities to look at equipment and handle and learn how they work which was great.

Cambridgeshire County Council It was very informative and well taught. I really enjoyed it and Stephen’s sense of humour helped to both help me remember things but also to make a course that is quite gruesome and challenging at times to be more palatable.
Testimonial from Rowena Winn 20/07/2025 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training Andy is a fabulous teacher, engaging the group and using his own real life front lint experiences to give us examples of possible scenarios.
The room was set out well and the equipment was very clean and up to date. Safety always came first too.
I found the course informative, interesting, engaging and literally life saving.
Personally I feel that courses such as this should be taught in schools and updated annually giving us all a better understanding of first aid and may be easing the pressure on our valuable NHS.
I can’t rate this highly enough…An absolute 10 out of 10 from me.
Many thanks to Andy and Angie, keep up the good work and hopefully see you next year.

Testimonial from Kirsty Maidment 09/07/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Julian Berkeley 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.
Testimonial from Lindsaye Wynne, Nursery Practitioner, Rosley School 04/06/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by

I learned so much more than I thought I would and gained so much confidence in my first aid abilities.

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 Elise Hendry 23/05/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Ruth Nelson 14/05/2025 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid 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
Testimonial from Geraldine Ash 13/05/2025 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Cambridgeshire County Council So often a First aid course can feel like going through the motions. As a teacher I deal with bumps and scrapes every day but I also take the responsibility of going on trips and residentials where anything can happen. Having a good knowledge of the equipment to carry to help prepare for any eventuality and the first aid knowledge to back it up is invaluable. This course is both practical and informative. An excellent choice for those who don't always work in conventional spaces.
Testimonial from Rebecca Hales, Headteacher, The Duke of Bedford Primary School 09/05/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

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.

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!

Testimonial from Zoe Cooper, RSW, Witherslack Group 11/03/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Lakes First Aid As this course was for the sailing club & we have the boats available, would be good idea to actually stand on a boat & show how to do some of the life saving activities in the limited space available on some boats. We did discuss it & this was extremely valuable but maybe time could have been found for this.
Testimonial from Peter Kevin Andrew 10/03/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Cam Fowler 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.

Testimonial from David Clarke, Deputy Principal/Director of Sixth Form, Comberton Village College 03/03/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Cambridgeshire County Council I have been involved with DofE across schools i've worked in for around 15 years. This is the second time I have been on this outdoor first aid course and it remains the best first aid course I have ever been on. This is for two reasons, firstly, it combines all of the basic first aid knowledge with a practical application to the outdoor setting. It challenges you to think about the limitations of being remote and the unique circumstances you can find yourself in. Secondly, Stephen Brown is the best facilitator of any course I have ever been on. His approach is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend this course to anyone.
Testimonial from Lucy-Beth Heighton, Vice Principal, Stanground Academy 03/03/2025 — 'Basic Life Support' course by

Kentdale First Aid Training 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.

Simon Clooney This is the simplest (in a good way) first aid course I've ever done. Thank you so much! It was so helpful to hear that we aren't medical professionals and aren't expected to be. That all we really have to do is call for help, not make it worse, and if possible do something to make it a bit better. It was also helpful to learn specifics, such as ways of making CPR physically easier to do. The course leader was interesting and engaging, and I really enjoyed the day. Thank you :)

Testimonial from Scott Nixon, Freelance instructor 23/11/2024 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
First Aid Cumbria. This was the best course of any kind I have ever attended (and there has been a lot).
Testimonial from Colin Hind 23/11/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I would suggest that there could be more opportunities to ask questions on future courses. I needed time to process new information, that challenged my previous understanding, before I could ask questions. I often found myself interrupting the delivery in order to ask a question. Subject content on cold water shock and hypothermia challenged my previous understanding so I need time to reflect on this. The treatment of open wounds also challenged my previous understanding. The course has therefore provided food for thought and subjects for further investigation.
Testimonial from Gareth Moss 22/11/2024 — ' First Aid at Work' course by

His use of visual and actual resources helped me to relate the course content to real life situations and gave reassurance that I would be able to take appropriate action if it were ever needed. Pete’s open, honest and friendly approach engendered a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere within the group and his discussion regarding mental health (both that of the casualty and the first aider was a refreshing addition to a first aid course.

Testimonial from Jason Goldsworthy 19/07/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Good course. Pete used lots of real life examples, and explained everything with reasoning and logic rather than reciting the handbook. I think this helps the information sink in a bit better.
Testimonial from Christopher Hemsley 19/07/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Michael Freeman 11/07/2024 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Jamie Magee 07/07/2024 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Simon Clooney It was an excellent day. Really practical, but also lots of common sense and practical advice (as opposed to remembering 'rules'). The hands on, straight forward and informative style has made me feel for the first time that I could be relied upon in an emergency should I ever need to be. Extremely high standard of teaching delivered in a very fun, practical and supportive way.
Please use these words if helpful as a review for your most excellent course.

Testimonial from Laura Couper 25/06/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Brilliant course, and Pete is an excellent engaging teacher and keeps things interesting. I felt the key thing that I hadn’t got on previous courses was the how/why we need to do things, rather than just what the process is, to enable thorough understanding of the cause-effect (for example CPR and why going too fast/slow is problematic) and to help to properly remember the information.

Testimonial from Rossana Palma 29/05/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. The outdoor first aid course provided a great refresher of my first aid skills and was such an improvement on the previous outdoor course I took three years ago in terms of relevance.
Pete made the course interesting by providing multiple very relevant examples of different outdoor situations and how these were dealt with which. The equipment supporting the course was fantastic, with smart dummies for CPR practice, vests to practice the Heimlich manoeuvre, examples of outdoor shelters, protection and wound packing.

Testimonial from Paul Law, Milnthorpe Primary School 23/05/2024 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid Ross was a lovely guy who put everyone at ease. He was very knowledgable and passionate about first aid. He answered everyone’s questions and senarios and nothing was a silly question. It was also great that everyone had their own little Annie’s and equipment like defibs, ensuring everyone got to use the equipment with plenty of time. I also really liked the app used to assess CPR technique.

Lakes First Aid Thanks very much - it was a useful couple of days in a friendly, supportive environment. The venue was fab too - and thanks for the cake.
Testimonial from Joanna Roberts 23/04/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Great first aid course, not once did I feel nothing wasn't explained clearly. I think this was due to Petes personal stories and experiences of the outdoors or just general experience that he or someone he knows has had to apply first aid. From a personal experience, its always better to have a trainer who has genuinely experienced the implementation of first aid first or any course they are delivering first hand and the fact that Pete has had many of these situations, made me feel reassured that, yes it will be stressful. But, taking that breathe and understanding that you can apply first aid to the best of your abilities, even when in the outdoor surroundings, that it is always better to do something, than nothing.
Testimonial from Louise Makin, Trainee, Bendrigg Lodge 23/04/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Mark Bentley 26/03/2024 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
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!

Each topic delivered well and geared to level of the group's understanding/experience.

Testimonial from Dawn Ashby 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.

Testimonial from Sally Harrison, Office Administrator, Witherslack Group 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!

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.

This was a very practical course which was delivered with warmth and humour.

He was extremely knowledgeable and delivered the training in an inclusive, relaxed and friendly manner which got everyone in the group involved. I can honestly say that he is one of the best trainers I have had on any training course that I have attended and this was echoed by other attendees following the training. The balance between the practical and the 'PowerPoint' sessions was just right and the 'kit' available to use/see being demonstrated was excellent.
Testimonial from Richard Dimon, Team Leader , Natural England 10/11/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Kentdale First Aid Training 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.

Testimonial from Rebecca Lyle 14/10/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I’ve lost count of how many first-aid courses I’ve done in the past.
Typically they are geared around helping you pass a test at the end in order to have the qualification required. Pete had a confidently and transparently different approach to equipping us as first-aiders. The emphasis on principles, and fundamentals, with a realistic dose of common sense and sound rationale for stepping in and taking the initiative was empowering and refreshing. Bearing in mind that the world is complex and unpredictable and therefore traumatic incidences tend not to happen in ways that fit a standard cookie-cutter response I feel much more certain I’d be a useful person to have around if things got serious and lives were at stake.
Testimonial from Ian Woods 12/10/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Rachel Eastwood 08/10/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid An excellent course delivered using a well balanced approach of information sharing, partner conversation and hands on practice and problem solving scenarios. Aspects of First Aid were delivered in an appropriate sequence with repetition and reinforcement of key concepts throughout the weekend. And everything was presented with passion and light-hearted good humour by the unphaseable Ross! First Aid now feels simpler and achievable. Thank you.
Testimonial from Jane Morris 06/10/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid All good. Best First aid training I've done. 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 Paula Humfrey, Senior Ward Sister Inpatient Unit, St. John's Hospice 28/06/2023 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training 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!

Testimonial from Craig Albon, Lead Practitioner ; SBI, Witherslack Group 25/05/2023 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Pete was extremely knowledgeable and could put a scenario to everything, making it real life for the learners. It was also nice that he took into account the sector the learners were working in and could resonate with them to an extent.
I feel the learners got a lot out of it, even those who I thought wouldn't engage as well, engaged really well, and answered questions when asked.

Testimonial from Catherine Fatkin, Volunteer - Estate walks, National Trust 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 Mark Prina, Reserve Manager, A Rocha UK 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.

Testimonial from Kate Maddock, Heron Corn Mill 08/02/2023 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid Ross was very good at getting everyone in the group involved in thinking about the reasons why things are done and in what order. 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 Bernard Gilmartin 25/01/2023 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I have now done at least five of Pete's courses. He keeps updating the content to provide relevant and engaging learning for First Aiders.

The content is always evolving and key learning points are shared by a variety of presentations and styles. The practical sessions are particularly valuable. Highly recommended.

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.

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 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Emma Atkinson 14/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Excellent training overall from an obviously very experienced practitioner and trainer. Equipment such as mannequins for CPR were high class with good technology (bluetooth feedback to our phones - excellent) which enabled all candidates to practice skills at their own pace.
Testimonial from Chris Higgins 13/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. An excellent course that happens to give a certificate that other people will use to tick a box. Real world advice from practical application to back up the theory and a non judgemental opportunity to put the learning into simulated situation - role play for those that don't like role play but are curious how they would react in an incident.
Testimonial from David Pearce 12/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. An excellent course.Particularly impressed with the app to check CPR. Despite my career in medicine and remote area trauma care, I learned new information, and refreshing of skills is always important.Pete was not “fazed”by the presence of two doctors in the audience.

An excellent course and I will be thoughly recommending it to anyone who needs a first aid course.
Testimonial from Chris Harvey, Instructor 08/12/2022 — 'Activity First Aid (1 day)' course by
Cambridgeshire County Council It was great, lots of really practical hands-on experience and Sarah was great at building up elements in a way that helped you remember them and feel confident. I've done several First Aid courses over the years and this was by far the best.
Testimonial from Danielle Guy, Founder and Run Leader, Let's Run Girlshttps://www.letsrungirls.com/ 08/12/2022 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
First Aid Cumbria. The resources were extensive and allowed each participant time to operate each type of manakin, AED, bandages etc first hand to conduct active and practical learning. It was clear to see that Peter had a natural passion to deliver a 1st class first aid course.
Peter spoke a lot about different scenarios and asked for audience feedback and participation. Not one situation will be the same as the next and it was paramount that Peter showed us how to asses and think “outside the box”.
I have been on many First Aid courses throughout my career and consider this the best yet.
Thank you again Peter.

First Aid Cumbria. Absolutely fantastic course run by Pete, his enthusiasm for First Aid shines through and it results in a very informative and hands on course. Perfect blend of theory and practical elements and all the resources you get to use were super helpful in adding to the learning process. Would strongly recommend to anyone considering and has made me feel a lot more confident in my ability to administer First Aid!

Testimonial from Robert Pocklington, Forest Ranger , NATIONAL TRUST 07/12/2022 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid Really enjoyed the e-learning rather than a 2 day course as able to read and take in on own time.
The choking kit as hands on to try was really good along with the app to check your CPR
Testimonial from Angela Watson, admin assistant, John Beaty Transport Ltd 07/12/2022 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by

Testimonial from Samantha McWhirter, EYFS and KS1 Teacher 06/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Matt Schwarz, Trainer, Brathay Trust 05/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid It was an enjoyable, fast-paced and valuable course where I gained a great deal of knowledge and confidence in administering first aid, both indoors and in an outdoor setting.
Testimonial from Lucy Gibson, Senior Advisor, Natural Englandhttp://www.gov.uk/natural-england 04/12/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I felt our trainer was realistic in the acceptance that most first aiders will feel unsure and awkward, but he gave us the confidence to try and do the best we can.
Testimonial from Ian Oldham 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
Simon Clooney Perfect pitch and tone for this experienced group. Content is well-paced, practical and pragmatic.
Testimonial from Mark Allen, Operations Manager- Brathay Trust, Brathay Trust 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 Nice cake thank you! Still one of the best outdoor first aid course providers i've experienced in over 20 years working in the outdoors.
Testimonial from Sarah Smith 30/11/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Kentdale First Aid Training Probably the best first aid course I have been on - from the facilities, the equipment, refreshments, info prior to the course, course content and the trainers were brilliant. 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. Your kindness and the way you dealt with the lady who sadly became unwell was amazing. It’s so benefits to do training with people who are still so hands on. Thank you!!!

Testimonial from Anne Dorey 15/11/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training This was an extremely engaging course and the tutors were very keen to ensure that all the students were comfortable with and understood the content of the course material. 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 wouldn't hesitate to recommend this training centre, the tutors really know their subject and I really enjoyed it.
Testimonial from Helen Loxam 14/11/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid Ross was very very good at keeping us engaged! I struggle to keep engaged in something for a long period of time, but his coaching was delivered in such a way that I felt fully enthusiastic over the entire 2 days! Great coach, great first aider!

My previous course provider 4 years ago was OK but it was really stuffy in comparison, and I learnt a great deal more on this course not least because it was so engaging. The high-tech CPR dummies which included real time feedback have given me a great degree of confidence I could now deliver CPR to the prescribed standards.

Testimonial from Gill Smith, Nursery Class teacher, Beaconside Primary School 02/11/2022 — '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 Amy Deighton, Office Administrator , BDS Fuels 21/10/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I have attended many first aid course by different providers. I also happen to come from a health care back ground and have worked in trauma teams and on intensive care units. I have often found on first aid courses that participants are taught information and skills that go beyond first aid, and while may provide them with information about a casualty it is often information they can do nothing with. Pete teaches in a refreshing and more appropriate way. He focuses on real first aid, with the importance of protecting, preservation and prevention being pivotal. He provides a straightforward and clear approach that is true first aid, and has avoided the pitfall a lot of first aiders fall into, which is showing off more advanced skills that go beyond immediate first aid. This course will leave you with a solid realistic base of first aid skills that can actually be applied in the real world as well as a clear understanding of when you need more than first aid.
Testimonial from Emma Hamilton 21/10/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Stephanie Green, Head of Modern Languages, ASCL for ski trips, Austin Friars 20/10/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I feel Pete went above and beyond any first aid course I had attended in the past. Pete didnt just cover the essentials, he explained why and added real life experience. It is this experience that is valuable, whilst I have had some use of first aid it is not on the scale that Pete has. The combination of well paced teaching style, a mixture of practical and theory, plus real life experience made for a very good course.
Testimonial from Mark Williams, IT Manager and Silver DofE coordinator., Austin Friars 20/10/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Emma Monnington, Venue Shift Leader , Brathay Trust 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 Johannes Thantsha, Machine Operator , Omega Protein 13/07/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid It would have been good for everyone to have the Annie manakins that connected to the app, however this is only a minor point and I am by no means dissatisfied.
Testimonial from Michelle Kirk, Teacher 12/07/2022 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training I understand that the time constraints that a 2 day course has, means that a more practical course is more difficult. A previous First Aid course did provide more practical elements however it was longer. I did much prefer the experiences you were able to draw on, it made it more personable.
Testimonial from Callum Paley, Trainee teacher 06/07/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Cambridgeshire County Council I’d done three different courses with other companies before taking part in Active Aid’s course. Hands down it was the most engaging course I’ve done. The instructors explained every step clearly, and the practical approach gave me confidence that I won’t quickly forget what I’ve learned. Rather than bombarding me with confusing acronyms to memorise steps, the course provided simple and effective ways to remember the skills, and followed the theory with various simulations to test what we’d learned. I can easily say that my knowledge and skills about how to help in emergency situations are better than they’ve ever been.
Testimonial from Jamie Peterson, Massage Therapist, Adaptive Touch Holistichttps://www.adaptivetouch.co.uk/ 06/07/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Alex Fradley 04/07/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by

Testimonial from Derek Hurton, Head Coach: Eden Runners Juniors 24/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Simon Clooney Simon's delivery of an important and, potentially 'heavy' subject, ensured that the candidates were fully engaged throughout and able to laugh and have fun whilst learning a terrific amount. A long day ended up very enjoyable.
Testimonial from Julian Berkeley 08/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Michael Roughley, Teacher, Robert Ferguson Primary School 08/06/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Reagan Lovering, St. Johns Hospice 08/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Simon Clooney Very well delivered, and the presenter Simon, had excellent knowledge.
The course was very interactive and varied in content
Testimonial from Steve Steele, Wild Ennerdale volunteer 08/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Simon Clooney Having held the formal FAW certification as a First Aider on major construction sites for over 35 years, & participated in many renewal/full multi day courses over that time, I found the format of this course extremely interesting and worthwhile, and more importantly presented in a practical manner reflecting real conditions, rather than in a 'lecture/carpeted floored' setting with rigorous observance of the 'Textbook' method of casualty treatment.
Testimonial from Phil Scotchbrook 08/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Simon Clooney Trainer was very good at explaining that First Aid is not an absolute skill with precision application of treatments/casualty management & any 'textbook' dressings/treatments, and practical measures were demonstrated to allow me to achieve the desired outcome and understanding of objectives.
Irrespective of content, all questions were answered in a positive manner with clear explanations.
Testimonial from Angie Scotchbrook 07/06/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I really enjoyed the course. Luke was a fantastic trainer. The comprehensive and wide-ranging material was delivered in a highly effective manner involving some short theoretical presentations, but more often engaging interactive Q&A sessions and real-life scenarios, most of which took place outdoors. I would recommend this course very highly to potential applicants, and cannot praise it highly enough. Having attended the course I would feel confident in delivering first aid to casualties in the outdoors.
Testimonial from John Welshman 06/06/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from David Averill, School Staff Instructor (CCF), The Ferrers School 24/05/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I’ve been on several first aid courses over the years in a previous profession- this course was refreshingly different as it was full of real life examples, the chance to share and learn from the other student examples and role plays carried out in an informal but friendly way- very much recommended to anyone who wishes to learn practical outdoor first aid
Testimonial from Graham Marshall 23/05/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Catherine Benson 16/05/2022 — 'Forest Schools First Aid ' course by
Lakes First Aid With friendly, approachable trainers with a good sense of humour, this course helped me build on gaps in my knowledge eg the appropriate way to respond when someone is hypo or hyperthermic. I was also able to increase my confidence with practical aspects of First Aid, such as delivering CPR.
Testimonial from Kate Stewart, Forest school practitioner 12/05/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid I actually feel confident that in an emergency I would know what to do and how to keep someone as safe as I could until 999 got there.
Testimonial from Dawn Cockburn, Stop smoking Practitioner , ABL Healthhttp://www.smokefreecountydurham.co.uk 11/05/2022 — 'Forest Schools First Aid ' course by
Lakes First Aid Very informative and friendly course - thank you!
Testimonial from Jennifer Walker 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.
Testimonial from Gillian Robinson, Volunteer visitor welcome, National Trust 07/05/2022 — ' First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Stephen Brown, Adviser for outdoor learning, C C C, Cambridgeshire Advisory Service 04/05/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Thank you for the web site resource issued after the event. It helps refresh the memory. Perhaps an agenda for what is going to be covered on the course with section headings that match the resource material on the web site will help me refer back to what I learned.
Testimonial from Julian Rayner 04/05/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid An excellent course taught by a very experienced leader. The blend of taught material and hands on practical exercises, real life situations, sets this course apart from others I have attended. I came out feeling much more confident in my ability to handle an emergency first aid situation.
Testimonial from Jonathan Redfern, Proferssor / Director North ASfrica Research Group, University of Manchester 03/05/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Aimee Galloway, Preschool Assisstant 28/04/2022 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training Andrew was very understanding of my getting upset from a recent situation. I felt in very safe hands as it’s clear how much experience the trainers have. I like the confidence that it has given me, something I haven’t always felt at the end of a first aid course I’ve attended by other providers.
Testimonial from Kathryn Williams, Higher level teaching assistant 27/04/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Lakes First Aid Loved how clear and interactive the course was. Everything was clearly explained and questions were well answered. Looking forward to having to renew in 3 years!
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
Testimonial from Benjamin Wood 23/04/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Talia Morton-Kemsley 23/04/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid fantastic really enjoyed it, thank you so much and keep on saving lies
Testimonial from Samuel Cowie 22/04/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Personally I prefer the indoor sessions. I find that the outdoor scenarios are useful but they are so hard to make real that I find them more of a game to figure out what i should be spotting and so miss things easily. I do not dislike these but i get more from the discussions. I wonder if you should do a share your first aid incidents type of session and what did you learn or what did you not do, what surprised you etc. I know that you pick up on some people's when they share these but inviting all the participants to share their experiences would be both interesting to learn from and listen to.
Testimonial from Nigel Dykes, Nigel Dykes, BSc Outdoor Adventure & Environment, University of Cumbria Link to student's website 22/04/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. The course is extremely practical with loads of great real life examples. Pete was brilliant at making the group feel at ease and able to ask loads of questions and share any knowledge that they had.
Testimonial from Roy White 09/04/2022 — ' First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Terence Kirton 30/03/2022 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Lakes First Aid I used to be a FA trainer myself ( now retired, apart from internal verification of another trainers work) and from my point of view this was a brilliant course. Very well run.
Testimonial from Joseph Dias, Artist, Diasfineart 28/03/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Pete Cunningham delivers the course with very high quality content, detail and engaging presentation style. There was a really good mix of tutor explanation, video, powerpoint and real life footage to support the learning. The reduced amount of practical scenarios (due to covid limitations) allowed for a greater amount of time to be dedicated to the depth of information into different subject areas. Each section was very well though out and expertly delivered by Pete. Having the inclusion of the many different sources of video learning (from a wide variety of organisations) and also footage and images of real life scenarios is so valuable in preparing the first aider for possible encounters. The knowledge and experience of Pete shone throughout the course.
Testimonial from Rosemary Thomas, Woodmattershttp://www.woodmatters.org.uk 25/03/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Andrew Syverson, Enso Taekwondo Academy 25/03/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid This first aid course was really good and educational. It covered a broad range of topic and was able to be adapted to the specific environments our group would be working in (either wetlands or coastal). Our instructor was very engaging and explained things in clear and memorable ways.
Testimonial from Lorna Drake, Species and Protected sites senior, Natural England 25/03/2022 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training In the 15+ years of attending Paediatric first aid courses, this was by far the most enjoyable and informative. The charismatic delivery of the instructors used humour to engage while being robustly backed up by real life current and past examples of their experiences as paramedics. I would highly recommend Kentdale to anybody looking to complete training in the field of first aid.
Testimonial from David Pegg, Langdale C of E School 25/03/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Our trainer tailored the course to the situations we would likely encounter in our club environment, which gives me more confidence to provide first aid going forward.

Testimonial from Emily Hagan, Bassenthwaite Yacht Club 05/03/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Thoroughly enjoyed this course which was well executed with humour and knowledge.

Testimonial from Kris Bentham 28/02/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Cambridgeshire County Council Over the years, I have completed a number of first aid courses and after becoming aware of this course, I genuinely feel this is the best course in terms of style/delivery and content for those that work largely in the outdoors (Geography/PE/DofE staff). The scenario style of learning allows participants to gain confidence and the vital 'treat what you find' skills. Stephen has a wealth of experience and uses this to bring the topics 'to life', using demonstrations, stories and high quality equipment/training aids.
Testimonial from David Clarke, Deputy Principal/Director of Sixth Form, Comberton Village College 28/02/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Caroline Johnson, Midday supervisor , St. Martin & St. Mary C of E Primary School 24/02/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

His enthusiasm and passion for first aid came through during the delivery of the course. It has given me the confidence once again to believe that I could help someone who might need assistance. So thank you .

Testimonial from Emma Lightfoot, Maintenance/ Ground Worker, Skelwith Fold Caravan Park 23/02/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Dylis Dennett, Housekeeper, Skelwith Fold Caravan Park Ltd 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!

Testimonial from Callum Brady, Bainbridge Electrical Ltd 22/02/2022 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Would highly recommend him to others
Testimonial from Jennifer Davidson, Teacher , Ambleside C of E Primary School 21/02/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Alyn Griffiths, owner, high pointshttp://www.highpoints.co.uk 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.

Testimonial from Liam Walsh 10/02/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. It was really nice being in a warm venue with coffees and snacks. The equipment and resources were modern and relevant and we didn't need to share. Dave was really friendly and very knowledgeable and a brilliant teacher. It was nice to be around other friendly outdoors people learning.
Testimonial from April Whiteley 10/02/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I thought the course was incredibly interesting and well delivered. It can’t be easy to keep everyone’s attention for 2 days straight, but I heard every word and felt the constant links back to real life experience made it very relatable and engaging.
David was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour.
I’ve already recommended this course to colleagues.

Testimonial from Rebecca Costello, Teacher of Science 17/01/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid Outdoor first aid doesn't come much better than this. Ross has expert knowledge based on real life experience as a First Reponder, and as amember of Mountian Rescue. 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!

First Aid Cumbria. Great course. Thanks
Testimonial from Neil Mathews 07/01/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Well done. Good course. Years of working in outdoors it’s good now that first aid feels realistic rather than teaching us to do things that seem ludicrous, or more importantly we’ll forget, especially over time Ava when stressed
Testimonial from Paul Platt 06/01/2022 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Thanks Pete! Great course from which I learnt a lot of practical information. In the event that I am faced with situations where first aid is required, I will feel more prepared.

There was the opportunity to take part in practical scenarios throughout the two days, both indoors and outdoors. These aided my memory of first aid skills and knowledge because we solved problems in real life situations. I now feel so much more confident to apply my first aid skills in an outdoor setting. I couldn't recommend this course enough.

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.
Testimonial from Jennifer Cobb, Teaching assistant, Ambleside C of E Primary School 19/11/2021 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
First Aid Cumbria. The best bit about this course is the opportunity to learn practical skills using the manikin. I have been taught CPR before, but it was so much easier to know if the technique was correct with the phone app and my own individual manikin. Thank you.

Testimonial from Joe Pester, Lake District Paddleboarding 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 Stuart Harper, Health Surveillance Technician, Heinz 28/10/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Lakes First Aid I loved the enthusiasm of Ross the instructor who kept energy levels high of the team even through a long informative day. Ross made time to answer lots of questions and was very open to adding extra info when requested. I especially like the improv of the tourniquet and sling from field equipment. It was a good use blend of outdoor and indoor learning both of which were useful.
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 Mary Elizabeth Berry, Lead Adviser, Natural England 25/10/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

He covers a lot a content in an accessible way and is always available for individual's questions that pop up. First aid courses can seem daunting as there is always a lot to take in but Pete gets the input level just right so that participants can leave with belief in their abilities as confident and effective first aiders.

The materials and teaching were innovative and effective, especially in these covid safety-compliant times.

Taught by an excellent, emotionally literate trainer, this outdoor and paediatric first aid course provided coherent information about everything one would need to know to be able to render first aid effectively. Peter focussed on getting us to use all the information available when assessing a casualty, thinking about why we were carrying out a particular course of actions and knowing when we had to act really quickly. Even though I have completed several first aid trainings over the years, I learned an incredible amount and, more importantly, understand how to use this.

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 Anthony Crook 29/04/2021 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Joanna Horn, Lakeland Maze Farm Park 06/04/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Excellent course. The instructor was superb. I was extremely impressed (and surprised) by the technology in the "dummies", we got instant feedback on our smart phones on how we were doing when performing CPR on infants, children and adults. FAC's dummies "tell" you when you get it right! When performing First Aid it is critical that one can perform good CPR and the kit and instruction ensured we did. Superb teaching.

Testimonial from Andrew Jones-Barnes 29/03/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by

All this PLUS super COVID safe space and procedure to enable training to go ahead during the pandemic. Some quirky ideas to enable participants to get active whilst staying within their 2m boxes!

The course information carried out by Ross was delivered in such a way that it put everyone in the group at ease.
Alot more people should attend this course as it gives you the knowledge and confidence to tackle the task in hand.

Testimonial from Emma Gregory, Dental Nurse , Alistair Morgan & Associates Ltd 16/03/2021 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training The course was well put together and very well run. For a subject with the potential to be dull and depressing there was a lot of fun and humour in its presentation which didn't at all detract from the importance of First Aid; in fact,for me, it helped learning and retention of the information.

Testimonial from Paul Cheshire 11/03/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I'd highly recommend. This was my first time doing a course with Pete. The course content was fantastic, the days were very enjoyable and they covered a wide range of learning. It was delivered by Pete incredibly well and during Covid, I felt safe on the course in the venue and the course covered plenty of self-led practicals too. This mixed course approach should be considered in future. Areas I have not covered before on other courses such as heavy bleeds was something particularly useful to learn about.
Testimonial from Eve Mulholland, Engagement Officer, Cumbria Wildlife Trust 11/03/2021 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Danyelle Liver, Care Practitioner, Witherslack Group 31/01/2021 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training The course was great value! Although it was intense I learnt so much over the two day period. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable.It was helpful that he could provide first hand examples of events he had been to, not just telling us how to help those injured. I was nervous about going amid the pandemic but it was so safe; we all had individual dolls and equipment to practice with, everything was throughly cleaned and there was an abidance of PPPE (masks, gloves, wipes etc).
Testimonial from Maisie Masterman, Dean Barwick Primary School 31/01/2021 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Howard Liptrot, Hawkshead Brewery 21/12/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I think Pete did a stellar job of delivering the course, especially with respect to having to mitigate the risks of Coronavirus transmission.
Even though it was not possible to perform first aid procedures on each other, I think he managed the situation excellently. I also felt extremely safe with the Covid measures he had put in place: for example, desks 2 metres apart from each other, sanitising material constantly available for personal use and for the cleaning of first aid equipment, having good ventilation in the room and gentle reminders on applying Covid safe practice.
I would highly recommend First Aid Cumbria to others. Thanks Pete!

Testimonial from Michael Bursnoll, Mechanical Engineer, H J Heinz Foods UK Limited 06/11/2020 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
First Aid Cumbria. This is the best first aid course I have done. Pete is so well informed and passionate about first aid and this really came across in his delivery. I really enjoyed how practical the course felt. Having our own adult, child and baby mannequin to practise CPR on alongside use of an app to self assess, really helped me to gain confidence in this skill. I also found the catastrophic bleed section incredibly useful and loved practising direct digit pressure and packing on the squidgy wound cubes. The videos Pete used over the course of the 2 days were all very engaging and helped to cement my learning. The content and Pete's delivery both really helped to simplify all aspects of first aid and I definitely feel like I won't be forgetting the basics as quickly as I normally would. Also, I felt utterly reassured by the Covid risk assessment and policy that Pete had put in place.

Testimonial from Nigel Edwards 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!

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

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 Ross and Luke delivered this course in a relaxed but very informative style. I particularly liked the way in which they introduced the first element of the DRSABCDE acronym and worked through, one element at a time with scenarios, until we were confident to approach a casualty and work our way through from D to E. This was a really good course and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Debs and Trish both had a very good style and were very good at clearly explaining what they knew and what we needed without adding excessive detail. They clearly knew more but were careful to keep things clear and simple. This was further emphasised by Debs as she kept referring back to the key points whenever we had problems to solve.

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 04/02/2020 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Trish was knowledgeable, likeable and pitched the content at just the right level. She was obviously a total natural in her field of expertise with a wealth of knowledge and a really personable way of teaching, making the course 'fun' when appropriate but also emphasising the serious nature of the content. Her experience as a nurse shone through but wasn't intimidating and didn't try and scare us with gory stories which I have had in the past from previous trainers, she just shared good examples when appropriate.
From a practical point of view, all equipment was of a high standard and in good working order and the schedule was well organised and thought through with enough variety to keep us all engaged.
Most importantly, I have been left feeling really confident in my first aid knowledge and feel I would deal with a situation to the best of my ability should one arise.
I have been on a lot of first aid courses and Trish was by far the best trainer I have ever had. I would never have guessed she had been only teaching to 'non-medical' students for a few months (I think this is what she said!)
Testimonial from Laura White 03/02/2020 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training I think the course was great and has definitely given me more confidence for the future. Andrew and Angie are great teachers and make sure to not move too quick or too slow depending on the course content. I enjoyed the mixture of theory and practical work, and also thought it was beneficial to see how these skills are used in real life through the stories Andrew and Angie connected to the different topics.
Testimonial from Sophie Hodgson 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.
Testimonial from Richard Waller, Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography, Keele UniversityLink to student's website 01/02/2020 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from James Clarkhttp://www.mountainmassageco.com 31/01/2020 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Trish was highly knowledgeable and made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the course. The day was timed well giving a break at a good time, and breaking up sitting and reading/ listening with getting up and 'doing' and putting knowledge into practice. Fantastic course, I feel a lot more confident I would know what to do if an incident occurred.
Testimonial from Anna Butler 31/01/2020 — ' First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Rebecca Glasson 23/01/2020 — 'Paediatric First Aid' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training A thoroughly enjoyable 2 day experience led by 2 highly qualified professionals with a wealth of knowledge which they are happy to share and pass on.
I've learnt valuable lessons which I hope I will never have to put into practice, but feel able and confident to should the need ever arise.
It was so nice to be able to use modern training equipment and for there to be enough for everyone to gain plenty of hands on practical experience to feel sufficiently trained in all of the techniques.
Thank you again for a great experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company.

Simon Clooney Kudos to Simon and Mark for a well organized and delivered course
Testimonial from Shane Wilson 20/01/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Simon Clooney This course was a dynamic program with practical skills, enough theoretical knowledge to make relevant meaning, and a smidge of way-higher information to satisfy the most intellectually curious. Hands-on skills followed directly from the theoretical as taught, and question-and-answer sessions were super informative, always on-point, and validated both the content learning and the students’ different learning styles and level of prior experience. A highlight of the program was the respect that quickly developed between the instructors and students, and hence, among the entire group - super! Over the years I’ve taken my full share of EMS and outdoor emergency care courses, and Simon, along with Mark when he weighed in on the second day, delivered a product that was among the top I can recall in terms of value-added “I’m really glad I took this course” learning experiences in this field.
Testimonial from TW Williamson 20/01/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
Lakes First Aid This was a good course: it was informative and presented in a relaxed and friendly way by experienced trainers. Thank you
Testimonial from Howard Long 20/01/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Simon Clooney This course is a fantastic introduction to practical first aid and CPR. It takes into account factors that are not covered in typical courses, such as location, weather, terrain, and remote areas. By getting outside and going through scenarios, I was really able to build confidence in my skills.
Testimonial from Heather Carreirohttp://www.expatheather.com 18/01/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Ian Oldham 14/01/2020 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Nicholas Rhys 18/12/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Simon Clooney Having completed at least eleven 1st aid courses over the last thirty years or so, I cannot rate this course, and this trainer highly enough. from the get go, this course was tailored to fit both the group and the individual needs of each candidate.

I walked away from this course with more confidence in my skills and how to apply them, and with greater clarity on my priorities and role as a 1st aider.

Testimonial from Robert Bowyer 12/12/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I've been on 4-5 other First aid courses over the years, with a range of providers, but this was the best. The approach was effective and a good learning environment, with lots of practical elements. The use of technology with the resuscitation dummies gave a lot of confidence that you were doing it sufficiently well to be effective.
Testimonial from Tony Jolly 12/12/2019 — ' First Aid at Work' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training Really enjoyed the course, found it interesting and thought provoking.

Testimonial from John Douglas, Senior Instructor 05/12/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 1 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. This was a refreshing approach to first aid, direct and informative without being overwhelming in its content. It was easy to see the wood for the trees and know what is really important in any given scenario. The use of resuscie annies, one to each participant and the ability to get instant feedback via my android phone was so useful in improving my technique in giving CPR and seeing the workings of the defibrillator was really helpful. An enjoyable day.

Andrew, the instructor, used his years of experience to illustrate first aid principles/practice, and delivered a course that was interesting, informative and enjoyable. Andrew's enthusiasm for his subject captivated my attention and his open and friendly manner encouraged questions and general discussion with the group of participants. The whole course is well organised and the administration of it is extremely efficient. Many thanks, you have given me more confidence in my ability to deliver first aid
Testimonial from Catherine Gerrard 22/11/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Victoria Ellis, Witherslack Group 21/11/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
Cambridgeshire County Council A highly interactive course which covered all manner of scenarios that might occur out of reach of regular emergency services.

Luke is extremely knowledgeable.
Luke moulded the course to the group he had in front of him making it relevant to the type of work we do which made it very easy to take in.
He taught us in a very informal "easy to learn" way and the two days just flew by.
Testimonial from Valerie Edmondson 14/11/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Jodie Roe (112112), Practice Manager, Green Dental 13/11/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. I am fully retired and have no legal requirement for a certificate. I do this course purely because competency in First Aid is a priority for me. That this is the third course I have done with Peter should speak for itself.
Testimonial from Gus MORTONhttp://www.funalps.com 12/11/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
Kentdale First Aid Training Everyone likes to think that their course is "like no other", but this one really is unique! The atmosphere was really relaxed and informal, the tutors were absolutely lovely and so so knowledgeable. All the information was passed on to us followed by real-life examples and explanations that anyone can understand. I have enjoyed my day training!

Testimonial from Stephen Banks 01/11/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. This was the first formal first aid course I've ever attended, and I feel much more confident after it to step up and try to help someone in need of first aid. Advice was detailed but digestible and useable, even in an outdoor situation. Pete was friendly, helpful and created a great learning dynamic with a lot of dialogue, active engagement and opportunity to use and practice techniques. Even after lunch, we were all engaged and the session was never dull and always useful. I would definitely recommend.
Testimonial from Christopher Witter 01/11/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Geoff Osborne, Tour Guide, MountainGoat 31/10/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Am indebted to Pete Cunningham for the way he led this Ist Aid course using both personal experience and his extensive knowledge of real life situations I would likely come across. We had time to practice and repeat key elements both in the classroom and in the outdoors. Pete kept the information simple but relevant and balanced humour with concern for the vital information I needed to hopefully be an effective 1st aider. A pub lunch, copious tea and biscuits and some useful equipment takeaways were very welcome bonuses. This is my 2nd course with Pete and would have no hesitation in booking again
Testimonial from Paul Harris 31/10/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by

Testimonial from Lindsay Harrod 02/10/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Testimonial from Sarah Winter 02/10/2019 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by
First Aid Cumbria. Pete in an excellent teacher. His knowledge is extensive and is presented in an clear and interactive manner. Procedures are taught in a simple and memorable way with great use of verbal images to give understanding and confidence. Highly recommended.

Testimonial from Joe Dunworth 24/09/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Lakes First Aid The course was clear, consise and included plenty of practical scenarios.
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 Joelle Raby, Youth leader 12/09/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by

Their approach to teaching was faultless, a perfect balance of practical and theory based learning really made the course enjoyable. I can easily say this was one of the best and most informative courses I've been on; without a doubt I would recommend especially if you've never covered first aid before.
Testimonial from Daniel Rutherford, Warehouse dispatch and storage manager , Logs Direct Ltd 11/09/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' 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

Testimonial from David McCarthy 03/07/2019 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by
