    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.

    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 explained clear objectives and kept refreshing things we had done so it stuck. He was also sensitive to experiences of individuals partaking in the course.

    Mick & Alex were absolutely brilliant - they made a topic that could have dragged, feel lively and fun. The trainers were so friendly & entertaining, I definitely think I've learned a lot and I'll remember it if I needed it !

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.)
