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!

Hi Gareth, Thank you so much for your help and support over the last two days to enable me to complete this course so quickly. I cannot thank you enough for responding to emails and queries so promptly when I know you must be extremely busy. I found the course interesting and it has updated my first aid knowledge. Thank you once again. Joyce

Learning new things that will improve the way you handle food in the workplace and at home. I enjoyed the course and the time went really quickly. Anyone who handles food should go on this course, even if you don't cook or handle food in a workplace, its very informative.

Well what to say..... Thanks to First Response my training detected a broken wrist my 5 year old daughter had today. The injury happened at school all the teachers/first aiders failed to spot it. The injury happened 3 hours before I collected her no response from anyone at school but I did what I was taught by Brian and spotted the signs did a sweep only took 10 seconds. Poor girl was at school for 3 hrs with a fracture. 10 seconds with me and my training had her in A&E 20 minutes later. Cast on... Thank you for teaching me guys.
