First Aid at Work course
Carlton, Solihull
I would just like to say I found the course well structured, and very informative with special emphasis on excellent presentation. The instructor Mr Brian Dennant was obviously very knowledgeable and experienced, he possessed excellent communicating skills and made the group and myself feel at ease from the outset. It was excellent; we all enjoyed the two days thoroughly. Thank you so much! Fantastic instructor, made me feel a lot more confident.
First Aid at Work Re-qualification course
Tricia, Stoke-on-Trent
We had our basic paediatric first aid course in Stoke on Trent this morning, and I just wanted to say that Andy Jones who delivered our training was fantastic. It was my first course in a long long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and other members of staff commented saying it was the best first aid course they've ever attended in their 30+ years. Please send Andy when our certificates need to be renewed!!

I just wanted to say an extra thank you for a really fun and informative first aid course at our school yesterday. It was very refreshing to have a day of training that was fun and active, as well as delivering exactly what was needed. Both the trainers are fantastic at their job and were professional with the right amount of humour to sustain all our interest. Having done many training courses I would say this was one of the best I have attended and as a teacher myself I know it is not often that you get good feedback!
Emergency First Aid
Andy McLean,
Excellent three day first aid at work course Lead by Brian Denning. He's an ex paramedic who's served years on the Staffordshire ambulance teams so there's not much he hasn't seen or dealt with. The course was well balanced between practical tasks, videos, slideshows and conversation included plenty of anicdotes and stories of bryan dealing with actual emergencies as a PM. A very enjoyable course with the learning well paced for all. Absolutely first class and I have no reservation whatsoever in giving this company my strongest recommendation.

I have just completely my 3 day first aid course with Glenn and some other council workers. I wanted to say a massive thank you to Glenn. I've learnt so much over the last few days. Glenn is a brilliant trainer and made everyone feel welcome. I would recommend this course to anyone.

It's the first time I've ever done a First Response First Aid course, as I've always done a St Johns before now. I'm very impressed as I didn't glaze over.

I am writing to offer some feedback around the recent training that Nigel recently received courtesy of SMBC Early Years. Nigel has a training background himself and he came back from the course full of compliments for ‘Glenn' from First Response, he said the trainer was supportive, informative and very professional. He delivered the course at an even pace to cater for the participants learning need, he demonstrated patience when members in the group did not fully understand anything, the occasions for which were in themselves few and far between. The course was enjoyable and he certainly benefited from the updates that it included. We will be recommending your services.
