Here’s some of the feedback from our previous courses
Thank you for all your help and instruction. I now feel more confident. Gill B - Harby
To see what we were taught 'put into action' made it more memorable.
I would feel very confident to instruct someone else to help me in an emergency. Anne B - Harby
The ratio of practical & then video
presentation is well proportioned.

I thought it was an excellent course........the main advantage
for me over previous first aid courses including 4 day first
aid at work courses, was that you explained why certain actions
were done which made the whole thing more logical.

We also work in association with the British Heart Foundation to deliver their
“Heartstart” courses, following accreditation by the approved British Heart Foundation
 training director.  This gives us a great opportunity to pass on some basic techniques
to local people which will help them preserve life in an emergency
