Course Reviews

Dave,
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.

We had our basic paediatric first aid course in Stoke on Trent this morning, and I just wanted to say that Andy Jones who delivered our training was fantastic. It was my first course in a long long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and other members of staff commented saying it was the best first aid course they've ever attended in their 30+ years. Please send Andy when our certificates need to be renewed!!

Tom made a subject that could have been boring very interesting and challenging. His delivery & method I found very effective. I feel very confident to carry out First Aid if I had to. Well done Tom

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.

This is my 4th first-aid course & best by far. The teaching technique was excellent and it was easy to digest.
Level 3 Paediatric First Aid
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.

This was the best first aid course I've done, it was very well explained.

I feel more confident about my first aid than after previous courses I have been on. I'm impressed at how well Glenn coped with targeting content to a "Unique" team of people! He's a good sport!

Glenn was a very knowledgeable & competent trainer. He was friendly & explained everything to a level to suit all present. He coped with all the unusual questions & scenarios which we have come across excellently. I would highly recommend him as a trainer for groups of all abilities & feel he should be commended for his hard work.
