Brian & Mick were excellent ! They held my interest by giving a confident presentation and with added humour. They made me feel at ease and well informed. Will definitely recommend. (Lunch was lovely too - I'm calorie counting and there was plenty for me to choose from.)

Brian is amazing at what he does. I am on the first aid course at the moment at Calderfields and have another day left to do. I am thoroughly enjoying it and I am confident I will be prepared in the work place. Thank you

Thank you so much for he First Aid course that Sarah ran for us last Wednesday and the Wednesday before. We all really enjoyed ourselves and Sarah was a great "teacher" making the course really informative and useful but not threatening at the same time ! We have all been on courses where you are frightened to get anything wrong but everyone had nothing but praise for Sarah. Please pass on our thanks to her.

I attended a first aid course last Saturday at the KEC in Kingshurst, Birmingham. I have worked in the NHS for 14 years and have never received such a fantastically delivered first aid course in all them years. Your tutor "Tom" was professional, encouraging and really supportive throughout the session. The way he delivered the information was really impressive and made everyone on the course feel comfortable enough to ask and answer questions without feeling the embarrassment of being wrong. He also kept the group engaged an interested and eager to have a go at the practical element. I really feel I came home with a really good understanding of areas I haven't had training on before and have a better understanding of the bits I knew. I think this man is credit to your company he is a fantastic tutor, Thank you, One very impressed childminder to be!
