I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for making the arrangements in regards to the First Aid Course last week. The course was super and went very well. The instructor was a great help and his style of instruction was excellent and enjoyed by all.

Hi Gareth, Thank you so much for your help and support over the last two days to enable me to complete this course so quickly. I cannot thank you enough for responding to emails and queries so promptly when I know you must be extremely busy. I found the course interesting and it has updated my first aid knowledge. Thank you once again. Joyce

I was on that course today, led by Bryan and Rob, and I just wanted to pass on how excellent it was. I practise a holistic therapy called "Bowen" and must hold at the very least the Emergency First Aid certificate in order to maintain my membership with the FHT. I did the initial training 3 years ago, and so had to re-train this year. Both trainings were with First Response First Aid, but I must say that I found today's training really very good. Brian and Rob offer 2 different styles of teaching, but they complement each other very well. Brian's understated but very witty way grabbed my attention for most of the day, and left me with no doubt that I had a very knowledgeable person in front of me. If Rob initially came across as a not so confident speaker, he immediately perked up as soon as it was down to practicing some skills, and his enthusiasm was very communicative. He also knows how to correct people's inaccuracy in their gestures in such a way that doesn't make them feel self-conscious, but rather encourage them to do better. The fact that he is a firefighter undoubtedly adds some perspective to his input. So I guess all I'm saying is thank you for providing such a quality training. I went home feeling rather confident with the thought of having to use those refreshed and updated skills; though I still hope not to have to use them.
