    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.

    Philip Parker,

    1st day of my FAW refresher today with Brian who is one of those people that teach, who is professional, challenging and manages to be humorous as well. This makes the whole course memorable and enjoyable. Had the AED and CPR couple of weeks ago from Laura. Same high quality teaching, made memorable.

    Tom's approach is fantastic constantly keeping you alert and on the ball. The detail Tom goes into, constantly going back to subjects to remind us of certain important aspects of first aid. The practical exercises reminding us of what first aid to administer in the situation. Th whole content of the course and the way it was delivered was exceptional. Thank you for a fantastic training approach helping us to learn what we need to know in the best possible way :)

    I consider that the First Response (First Aid) trainer, both as a personality, together with his presentation style, as like a breath of fresh air to the first aid teaching industry.

    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 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.

    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.

    A huge thank you for arranging the first aid course for the bank. We had a wonderful time learning Emergency First Aid and we all passed. The trainer was interactive, passionate and fun. It was a great way of learning. Lunch was great too, and there was plenty of tea and coffee.

    The course yesterday was the best first aid & manual handling course I have attended in over 35 years and I think this was mainly down to the way it was put over by the tutor.
