Everly Harper
It was a superb course. We were recommended this First Aid training as a team and part of our induction programme. It served as a nice break in between all the serious training that often goes on during Inductions. The course itself was interesting and very practical. We learned through real-world examples.
Axel Clark
It was an informative course and I learned quite a lot on first aid, although I was taking this as a refresher course. The instructor explained everything in a step by step manner, which I found very appealing.
Edith Lloyd
Great course, useful and to the point. If you want to learn First Aid, I strongly recommend it.
Danielle Mullen
The course was not too interactive but as it progressed, the training improved and I was pleased by the final outcome. As a new employee I learned much about this subject, which I hope to use at some point in my life, one day.
Bailey Harrison
There were many aspects about this course I found interesting. It covered the basic fundamentals of First Aid training.
Charlie Fox

Blake Norris
If you would like to learn the basics of first aid, no second thoughts, get enrolled in this course right now. I am so thrilled to be a part of this program. Wonderful learning experience. No regrets at all.

It has been a great experience studying this course and I would definitely recommend it and even purchase another course if I have the need, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
