Great First Aid Training The training was very informative and yet delivered at a pace that suited all candidates. The delivery flows nicely and is very professional , yet informal and engaging. The level of cover is excellent and the content has a wide variation of topics covered, to meet the needs of any business/ incident. Use of the defibrillator during CPR, gives you the confidence to use your new skills to save lives, I found the link up to the app, to measure accuracy of performance an excellent aid, again instilling confidence in me to perform the procedure when it is ever needed.

Exceptional first aid training, fully accredited. Incredible training centre. Would highly recommend for quality, fully accredited first aid training. The course is led by exceptional staff who are very welcoming and informed. Training only took 6 hours and covered a wide range of aid including resuscitation, defibrillator and wound dressing to name a few. Would highly recommend for anyone needing or with an interest in quality accredited first aid training for work or personal interest. Definitely a 10 out 10 in my experience.

Excellent trainers I now have far more confidence and I feel like I got a lot from the course. fantastic trainers probably one of the best trainers in all the courses I have attended in the past, very professional, polite and informative who kept you engaged in the topic.

Excellent first aid course with friendly trainers. Hi my name is Chris, I attended a first aid course on the 19th of may, I found the course helpful and the trainer was very patient with me as I have dyslexia, he spoke slowly and clearly for me to understand and if I got stuck he would come over to help me, I would recommend these trainers to anyone who wants to learn first aid.
