St John Ambulance First Aid Paediatric…

St John Ambulance First Aid Paediatric Training was excellent. Each step was thoroughly worked through. Lots of questions and Answers. Everything was practiced, but some unexpected training situations which made one think and very like real like, but in a training situation. Also additional training over and above on defibrillators that one might have to use in an emergency situations. I would recommend any First Aid Course with St John’s ambulance.

The best Emergency First Aid at work that I have attended for many years.

The best Emergency First Aid at work I have ever been on. The Trainer/Assessor was Julie Lyford who completed the course, was so amazing on changes and new first aid added in the last three years. The course was very challenging and left me confident on handling any first aid situations I might be faced with in the future. Course date 18-06-26

Micheal made the whole experience enjoyable,even though we we’re learning, my only concern was that I still had to get on my hands and knees even though I explained that I couldn’t as I’ve had a knee replacement and was struggling with my other knee , what would have happened if it was someone with a disability or in a wheelchair I think this needs to be assessed for future training courses

I did the blended emergency first aid for work course, and the experience was fairly seamless. The in-house training was led by a chap called Joel, who was friendly, easy-going and very knowledgeable. He is a five star instructor, and I would highly recommend both him and St John Ambulance for first aid training.

Good two days and good conversation

Good two days and good conversation - flowed nicely but do think it was stretched out a bit and may have been able to completed in less time.
