With there just being 3 of us on the course that was a great advantage, I’m a little hard of hearing sometimes & it was never a problem, the trainer was clear & very approachable, we could ask questions easily & everything was clearly explained

Great course

Great course, great trainer, did find some parts repetitive, and could potentially a little shorter to keep people engaged and focused. As noticed towards the end people was loosing attention.

Really informative and engaging sessions!

Really informative and engaging 3 day First Aid at Work course. Gary, the trainer, was personable, always happy to share anecdotes and answer questions. I thought using a quiz app at the end of each day was a great way to test our knowledge because there is a lot of information to take in within a short amount of time. The facilities were also great and easy to find your way around. Staff were friendly too.
