Great friendly course. Good team to learn with, we all felt part of the course leaning together. Definitely worth while, everyone should have basic first aid knowledge. Great job, cheers Roy!

Would recommend, well informed and easily understandable. It can be used at home if there are any accident/incidents, not just a work environment.

Good course with the right amount of videos, spoken and practical. Good atmosphere and company throughout. It was well managed, previous courses with other firms have not been as targeted to our line of work. Thank you, Roy.

The handbook given out that we can keep is brilliant because if I forget about how to do something I can refer back. The course was very informative and its important to understand what you need to do in case of an accident or emergency.
