I had 4 members of staff attend first aid training yesterday in Coalville, and every single one this morning has been to see me to tell me what a wonderful trainer she is and how she put them all at ease and it was the best first aid course they have been on. Many thank Sarah

Ann Cooper,
Just completed a 3 day course and would like to thank Mick for all his hard work. His delivery and instruction was precise however it was his humour and friendliness which made it memorable. He gave us all so much confidence and assistance , I feel properly trained to cope with anyone needing first aid. Can't thank you enough Mick. See you in 3 years.

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

Please can you pass on some feedback from today's trainers? Vic & Laura.. we had them do basic life support at Box Tree… what a team they are. They were spot on, really simple, informative training. We had a good laugh, and some really good techniques were shown. They were very professional and helped those who needed it. Many thanks, Steph

Please can you kindly pass on my thanks to Tense and also those of all the candidates who enjoyed the course on Tuesday which she ran in Kibworth. I have received very positive feedback from them and they all have said that they learned a lot and benefited from her experience.
Level 2 Food Course
Becky, Leicestershire
I just wanted to say an extra thank you for a really fun and informative first aid course at our school yesterday. It was very refreshing to have a day of training that was fun and active, as well as delivering exactly what was needed. Both the trainers are fantastic at their job and were professional with the right amount of humour to sustain all our interest. Having done many training courses I would say this was one of the best I have attended and as a teacher myself I know it is not often that you get good feedback!
