The trainer and resources were brilliant. Brian made everything very clear and I felt comfortable asking about things I was unsure about.

Tom was an excellent trainer he fed us with a wide range of first aid knowledge and I feel very confident going back with all the skills I have learnt.

Ripa, Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course

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!
