Course Reviews

Rob Gleeson, Walsall
Attended and passed my first aid at work course this week at Barons court hotel, Thanks Mick for an excellent course.

Usually when I go on a course like this one a trainer is rarely able to keep my attention because he/she talk and I listen (well try to), HOWEVER, Tom was outstanding as he kept me on my toes and I actually am confident in remembering my first aid better. Thank you!
Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course
The First Response (First Aid) trainer's friendly and efficient style kept everyone's attention throughout the day. His simple but still detailed demonstrations brought the best out in everyone.
Samantha Guy,
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

Level 3 Paediatric First Aid Course
Carlton, Solihull
I would just like to say I found the course well structured, and very informative with special emphasis on excellent presentation. The instructor Mr Brian Dennant was obviously very knowledgeable and experienced, he possessed excellent communicating skills and made the group and myself feel at ease from the outset. It was excellent; we all enjoyed the two days thoroughly. Thank you so much! Fantastic instructor, made me feel a lot more confident.

Emergency First Aid Course including the Paediatric Element
Soazig, Walsall
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.
