The trainer had an excellent interactive nature and interacted and controlled an awkward group well.

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 from First Response delivered a first class First Aid Course. The content was suitable for the age range of the children who attended (Young Carers) they were treated according to age and level of understanding. The trainer fully engaged the young carers throughout the course and placed an emphasis on doing the best they can and not to be afraid to try. The young carers went away with a good level of first aid skills. We would thoroughly recommend this course.

Tom was fab, witty & highly knowledgeable, He kept us on our toes. The course was excellent!

Lisa, Level 3 Paediatric First Aid Course

Style of delivery was great, made a difficult subject simple and a "can do approach". When I say simple, I meant it was broken down into common sense - which is what it should be.

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.
