Course Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Over the years I have attended many first aid courses, however after this one I feel I have gained the most knowledge and feel confident when dealing with any first aid. Thank you.
Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course
“I want to say a big THANK YOU. Your first aid course saved my grandson's life today, he choked badly and I managed to dislodge the bread from his mouth, after about 12 back slaps. Your courses save lives. I will never moan about doing a first aid course again! THANK YOU!”
Solihull MBC, Solihull
We would like to say a massive thank you to Dan Pedley. We are all in agreement that Dan Pedley's excellent training & fantastic lessons will not be forgotten. In fact, we are all in agreement that we did not want it to end. We have all learned more today than what has ever been taught before on previous first aid courses. So, thank you First Response First Aid, but more importantly thank you Dan Pedley for your supreme, first class training. Keep up the awesome work! August 2018

Very informative and very experienced in his field of work. All equipment was in perfect condition for us to use, please pass my message on to him he is a credit to your company I know where and who to recommend for future courses. Kind regards, Sharon.

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.
