Brilliant First Aid Training !

I did my First Aid Training in Coventry, and my trainer (Tony) was brilliant. It seemed like everyone enjoyed the whole course. I really liked the conversations and real life examples that Tony gave us.

I would do this training again and I highly recommend to everyone and anyone with various abilities and knowledge.

Informative & engaging First Aid Training

I did the Emergency First Aid Training course with Matt Hayes and I must say that it was the best first aid course I have ever done. The course content was in depth and varied (which can sometimes make for quite a heavy learning day) but it was really easy to follow thanks to Matt's informative and engaging teaching style.
