What a super person who delivered the course fantastically. It was interesting and learned well.

This was the best first aid course I've done, it was very well explained.

The trainer's mixture of subtle black country humour, relaxed persona, positive non-verbal communication and technically accurate information, enhanced with his personal experiences, made this man both a pleasure to listen to and learn from.

I have to say how much I enjoyed the First Aid Training course that I was lucky to be part of last week, and cannot think of a time when I have had so much fun.....working. David is an excellent trainer, and everybody has come away very positive about the complete 3 days. His manner, approach, and skill/knowledge base was excellent, and I will definitely be recommending your company to anyone who wishes to complete this course, following this experience. Please pass my thanks to Dave, for doing such an excellent job, and wish him well.

Lee, First Aid at Work course
in Walsall
Absolutely fantastic! Can not recommend you enough. Put some humour and practicality into the days, but learned everything we needed to on a serious note. Thank you!

Marianne Lawrence, First Aid at Work course

Style of delivery was great, made a difficult subject simple and a "can do approach". When I say simple, I meant it was broken down into common sense - which is what it should be.
