The whole course was very satisfying.

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.

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.)

I just wanted to reiterate how good the trainer was. All the staff came in to see me afterwards and said it was the best First Aid course they had attended. One of the main positives was that he made it specific to their jobs and environment. Also, the blended sessions seemed to work really well. Kind regards Karen

Please can you pass on some feedback from today's trainers? Vic & Laura.. we had them do basic life support at Box Tree… what a team they are. They were spot on, really simple, informative training. We had a good laugh, and some really good techniques were shown. They were very professional and helped those who needed it. Many thanks, Steph

I feel more confident about my first aid than after previous courses I have been on. I'm impressed at how well Glenn coped with targeting content to a "Unique" team of people! He's a good sport!

I felt that this course was very informative and delivered in a friendly and reassuring atmosphere by a very knowledgeable trainer. I would recommend this course and trainer as essential to all foster carers. Information obtained will prove invaluable when dealing with any potential future emergency situations. I would like to thank Tom for the experience

Thank you to Mick our trainer who delivered our first aid training on two Saturdays. He is a credit to your organisation. Mick made the training not only fun but a great learning environment. Thank you for training our team and we will certainly be recommending your training to others. Thank you once again

Have been on so many, many first aid courses over the years. Genuinely and by far the highest quality, delivery and fun aspects which help me retain a lot more information.

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.

The trainer and resources were brilliant. Brian made everything very clear and I felt comfortable asking about things I was unsure about.

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.
