    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!

    Having never taken a first aid course, it really helped me learn about helping someone whether a family member or a stranger. I now know what to do and how to deal with a potential life threatening situation. I thought Brian was fantastic.

    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.

    Glenn was a very knowledgeable & competent trainer. He was friendly & explained everything to a level to suit all present. He coped with all the unusual questions & scenarios which we have come across excellently. I would highly recommend him as a trainer for groups of all abilities & feel he should be commended for his hard work.

    Just to say the course was the best I have ever attended. Lisa was absolutely spot on. We would recommend her to everyone and will definitely do the course with you again in 3 years ....... As long as you send us Lisa ! It was actually a much better atmosphere having the course at my house too.

    I am writing to you following the Blended PFA course I completed today, 1/10/22, in Bedworth with Paul. I would just like to say he is an absolute credit to your team, and I wanted to send my thanks and appreciation for how kind, caring and thoughtful he was throughout the course. I was very anxious on the day about attending due to leaving my 5-month-old son, who I breastfeed, but Paul made me feel so relaxed; he wanted to ensure my son's needs were considered and put first, and he was willing to adapt to my sons routine, and he made me feel so calm about leaving my boy for the first time. He delivered the course with such enthusiasm and animation, and he was just an all-around friendly, genuine guy who I hope realises how valued he is! I will remember more from this course than any previous FA course I've ever attended. Thank you, Paul ???? We need more people like you in this world. Leanne

    On behalf of my clients Greg, Chris and Martin and myself I would like to say a big thank you to Mike for delivering an excellent course today. With a lot of passion, enthusiasm, and humour together with practical and helpful hands-on interaction, the whole group became involved in a very enjoyable training day. As it was 10 yrs since I did my last first aid course, I learnt a lot and appreciate being brought up to date with the various changes and new topics not previously covered. Well done!

    I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed the course. Glen was an exceptional teacher. He made us all feel comfortable and supported us as well as preparing us for the assessments. I felt confident in his ability and he seemed very knowledgeable answering all of our many questions. I was very pleasantly surprised how interesting this course was. Glen made the course engaging, his descriptions were clear, his feedback was always constructive and he was always very positive and cheerful even at 9pm on a Monday. I will be recommending this course to others and would like you to pass on my thanks to Glen. He is truly an asset to your company.
