| 29/01/2012 | Emergency First Aid at Work | First Aid Cumbria. | Pete's approach to first aid is very realistic/honest, particularly in not concealing the likely chances of success with CPR etc. Pete also has sensible expectations of how much course participants are likely to retain and is good at getting the essential points over. Overall a refreshingly simple approach to First Aid.

He maintains his professionalism but is able to put participants at ease with his manner. This enables us to concentrate on the tasks at hand. First Aid can be very nerve racking for all concerned and these courses really help to take some of the stress out of learning it, whilst instilling the serious nature of the training.

Testimonial from Karen Jaques |
| 05/09/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Simon Clooney | The fact that time flew is always a great indicator that you are on a good course. Having completed this course three years previously it was great to have the opportunity to go over the material again. The part of this course I enjoyed the most was having the opportunity to practice the First Aid skills over and over again as this really does help to fix them in your brain. Simon was excellent at explaining why we were carrying out the different parts of the first aid treatment and how they would help. By going outside and trying out our skills there really made you feel it was real.

Testimonial from Sean Lacey |
| 26/08/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Simon Clooney | Despite previous training in first aid, I began the course with a great deal of anxiety and discomfort about my abilities as a first aid responder--16 hours later my confidence soared and I now feel better-prepared to respond during an emergency. For me, the most valuable part of this course was the continual practical application and repeated practice of DR ABC...! Thanks Simon!

Testimonial from Stuart Dillon |
| 29/06/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Everything was kept totaly relevant to to the realities of the outdoor environment. The straight forward and unclttered approach was a refreshing change from the high-brow theory encounterd on previous courses elsewhere.

Testimonial from Martin Stitch |
| 13/06/2011 | Emergency First Aid at Work | First Aid Cumbria. | I attended a day course on 17 May 2011. The delivery was superb, by a tutor who knew his stuff. His years of experience and passion for teaching were evident. Knowing you’re being taught by someone who’s dealt first-hand with emergency situations on countless occasions is highly reassuring. His own experiences and his links with the world of paramedics provided several fascinating anecdotes of real life situations, which hugely enhanced the learning experience. (And he was extremely patient with all my questions!)
The atmosphere was friendly, informal and highly informative. By the end of the course, I’d learned loads, had fun along the way, and most importantly, gained the confidence to react correctly in an emergency situation.
I highly recommend this course.

Testimonial from Chris Crabtree |
| 23/03/2011 | Paediatric 12 hour course | First Aid Cumbria. | this course was better than any 1st aid course i have ever attended. I think that because the tutor is actively practisng his information was relevant and up to date. The things I was taught felt like they were much more common sense based. Previous courses I have attended have left me thinking that there was no way I would attempt to give 1st aid through worrying that i may get the breaths wrong or tie a bandage wrongly or forget to check pockets!! This course left me feeling that I would happily 'give it a go'. The tutor was focused, accommodating and welcoming. The venue was easy to get to and the refreshments were delicious. The video clips helped to make real life situations more relevant. The 1st aid book we were given is very useful too. Thank you very much. Lydia
Testimonial from Lydia Jenson |

Testimonial from Christiana Ledingham |
| 21/03/2011 | Paediatric 12 hour course | First Aid Cumbria. | Very Interesting course, very different from previous 1st aid courses. The focus on airway makes the course more realistic and makes you think that by checking this on a casualty you can really help save a life.

Thanks Pete.

Testimonial from Michael Jarman |
| 09/03/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A superb couple of days that was both informative and thought provoking. Courses that I have done with other providers adequately provided me with the skills to deal with emergencies, this course went a lot further than this however in that it encouraged you to think around an issue and apply what you had learnt more specifically. As a result I think what I have learnt will stay with me a lot longer than has previously been the case.

I felt all the time that pete was a man who knew what he was talking about through hands on experience. The venue was suitable for the training base & having cooked food on site was exellant. Having a meal halfway through each day was a really good extra particularly being free to students!
I can't praise the course & provider much more. I was very impressed, as I was last time I went on this course 3 years ago. It opened my eyes to new thinking & developements particularly in the advances of techknowledgy which can help us as first aiders.

| 18/01/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A thoroughly enjoyable and innovative course. Pete continues to trim the 'fat' from first aid courses, ensuring the content is completely relevant and not distracting away from really and practically saving lives.
Testimonial from Ashley St.John-Claire
http://www.outdoor-resources.co.uk |
| 18/01/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | So I’ve just been on a first aid course with First Aid Cumbria for the last two days and I would highly recommend them. The trainer was Pete Cunningham who is very good, certainly knows what he’s talking about and has an awful lot of background knowledge. Now we’ve all done first aid courses and we all know the drill. Two days of sitting in a room with equally bored people staring at a powerpoint presentation and about an hour outside if you’re lucky. This was different. Very interactive, lots of practical sessions, lots of discussions and chatting and a good deal of banter. Yes a lot of it was presented in Powerpoint but the slides were informative without overloading. Quite a few videos and movies added in to lighten the load. And to top it all off The Eagle and Child Inn is a great venue with a great pub lunch both days included in the cost of the course and more fresh coffee and biscuits than you could shake a stick at!
These last two days have changed the way that I think about First Aid. It doesn’t need to be complicated and formulaic. It’s all about a bit of common sense and instincts. There is so much that I have learnt on first aid courses in the past that now seems so pointless. First Aid Cumbria really are a breath of fresh air and the next time your certificate is due for renewal, I suggest you give them a ring. Thanks Pete!

| 07/01/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I thought the venue for this couse is excellent,a good range of outdoor scenarios thought up, and there was not the over emphasis on play acting whichhave made previous courses with other providers something of a nightmare.
Testimonial from Ian Oldham |
| 07/01/2011 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I wasn't expecting a different course from three years ago,but I was pleasantly surprised at how the trainers built on the existing experience of the group members.

Testimonial from Andrew Hewitt |
| 06/12/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A really practical, realistic course tailored to the needs of people working in the outdoors. A common sense, simple course where there was time to over learn and master First Aid skills. I left feeling more confident and skilled than from the many other First Aid courses i have done over the years. Highly recommended.
Testimonial from Matt Beresford |

Testimonial from Joel Taylor |
| 17/11/2010 | Emergency First Aid at Work | Spartan Rescue Ltd | A well-delivered and logically structured course. I liked the deliberate avoidance of technical medical language and the clear explanation of the limitations of first aid.
Testimonial from Dean Foden |
| 15/11/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The course was delivered in a freindly, stress-free manner and at the end of the course I felt that instead of feeling confused about trying to diagnose specific problems, I was able to treat the patient to the best of my ability until specialist help could take over. I also thought it was both interesting and useful to see and 'play about with' a defibrilator and an epipen.
Testimonial from Karin Jackson |

Thank you to Pete, Dave & Katy
Testimonial from Pat Smith |
| 11/11/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | An excellent course that keeps everything simple and uses up to date visual and practical aids at every opportunity.

Testimonial from Chloe Smith |
| 09/11/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The course was well-delivered by Pete Cunningham who had a relaxed manner but clearly communicated the priorities in providing effective first aid in a range of scenarios. Also good use of visual aids (film clips,pictures,dummies etc) which aid memory. The course book is clearly set out, and the weekend course has given me the enthusiasm to read it! A worthwhile use of time for someone who spends a lot of weekends and holidays wild places.

| 15/07/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The course covered good breadth and depth - a hard balance but done well. Pete was very good he 'de-cluttered' the 'cupboard' of previous FA courses. In fact maybe finding out what people know before they come may increase that effect? anyway great course many thanks, the venue in particluar was very good.

Testimonial from Sandie Marie goodyer |
| 24/06/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Pete is an enthusiastic tutor who provided a varied and interactive learning experience. I have done about 12 first aid courses in the last 30 years. This was definitely in the top 2 of those. I found it easy to learn from Pete and valued his experience and the way in which he was always able to answer my questions. I felt challenged, though in a supportive and fun atmosphere.

http://www.agmphotography.co.uk |
| 29/03/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A number of us took part in an excellent Outdoor First Aid course at our climbing hut over the weekend. We learned about the theory and principles of First Aid which can be applied in everyday situations such as in the workplace, pub and at the local Co-op as well as in emergencies on the hill and at the crag, and we had the opportunity to participate in hands-on responses to various scenarios. If you haven't done a similar course and have the opportunity to do so, I recommend it highly.
Testimonial from Paul Russell
http://www.oxfordmc.org.uk/ |
| 29/03/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Before taking the course I was apprehensive about whether I would feel able to put what I was about to learn into practice into a real-life situation. I was impressed by the way Pete took the fear out first aid - fear of getting it wrong, fear of going 'blank' and fear of having the confidence to act in an emergency situation. The hands-on responses to various scenarios that we practised were extremely useful.
Testimonial from Ingrid Ferguson |
| 18/03/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A brilliant 2 days. I learned loads and there was a good balance of info, practical demonstrations, dvd presentations and hands on scenarios to keep me interested and concentrated the whole time. I would definitely recommend Pete to anyone i know needing this certificate - he's brill!
Testimonial from Jacqui Wallace |

Testimonial from Rebecca L Mitchell |
| 12/03/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I really enjoyed the Outdoor First Aid course,at Staveley, it was really practical and hands on giving me the confidence to deal with any incidents that could occur, when working with groups of young people, in the outdoors.
The scenarios were particularly useful as these were similar to the incidnts you could have to deal with for real.
I feel confident I could now deal with most emergencies, using the skills and techniques so excellently delivered by Pete Cunningham. His delivery and teaching style was superb and just right for people who work in the outdoors.
Thank you very much for making the course so interesting.
Testimonial from Neil Morris |

Testimonial from Mike Scott |
| 28/02/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I felt that there could have been more practicals in between the talks on the first day. However, overall this is still the best first aid course I have been on as the outdoor setting provides a certain reality to the situation that first aid courses focused entirely inside lack.
Testimonial from Emma Rowley |
| 25/02/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Much nicer experience than I was expecting. I enjoyed it. The learning atmosphere was excellent and while I was much less experienced than many of the participants I was never made to feel inadequate or less useful. Thanks, Pete.
Testimonial from Frances Bell |
| 24/02/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I found it difficult to find a good outdoor first aid course but Active Aid have succeeded. Pete is an excellent training instructor made a serious subject both interesting and entertaining - a good way for trainees to absorb and retain information. The balance between audio/visual and practical sessions was spot on. "Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, let me do it and I will understand"; In that respect, given the absence of real casualties (thankfully), the course was a complete success. Thank-you.
Testimonial from Robert Collyer |
| 19/02/2010 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A well-hosted and delivered course, at a great venue. Facilities indoors and out perfect, food spot-on. The material was relevant and a good sense of what is realistically practical in a first aid situation was given.

The course structure was well organised with every lesson being reinforced and built upon as we moved through the course content.

I will recommend to others without hesitation and would definatly attend more of your courses.

Testimonial from Joanne Wulf |
| 28/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | This is a well-planned, practical course, led by an instructor with huge experience. Nearly every aspect is 'hands on', often outdoors and in the rain. Every committed walker and mountaineer should do it.
Testimonial from Mark Lambert |
| 26/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I found the course extremely useful for me and have learnt so many new things that I can apply to my career.

Testimonial from Stephen Sidlo
http://www.stephensidlo.com |
| 26/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I was prompted to seek first aid training after having had to call Mountain Rescue while out with friends. Fell-walking is not a risk-free pastime and some basic first aid knowledge is well worth having. This course was perfect for my needs: there was continuous reinforcement of the basics, building up to team problem-solving in an outdoor setting. I feel better prepared to deal with a future emergency.
Testimonial from Andrew Horner |
| 25/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | An excellently organised course with an enthusiastic and helpful trainer.

| 10/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Active Aid provided one of the best first aid courses I've had the pleasure of attending over a coaching career of 25 years. I found the balance of presentation and practical to be just right, and the delivery excellent. Active Aid also successfully avoided the usual "siester effect" in the afternoons - high praise indeed.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Active Aid to friends and colleagues, and will Actively do this in the future!
Testimonial from David Larkin |
| 07/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Would have liked a little more info before the course: in particular wanted to double-check with someone that it was a suitable course for me working towards ML (which it was)but was unable to speak to anyone who knew.
That said, had a great time and couldn't fault trainer, content, venue or value for money so many thanks!
Testimonial from Alison McKay |
| 06/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A very enjoyable and practical course which I will be recommending to my colleagues.
Testimonial from David William Kerrison |
| 05/08/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Pete - great training course 100% interactive and I learnt masses and felt very supported by you and the other participants.Would recommend Adventure Learning to others.
Only negative was that the anecdotes got a bit much after a while, so may be worth asking students who have obviously done 1st aid before to share some of their experiences in the group.
That apart it was great. See you in 3 years!

| 27/07/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Best first aid course that I have been on, none of the course was boring. First aid courses are usually boring! Great how it was related to the outdoors. Great venue too, pub lunch and beer!

Thanks for a busy, but great, two days comprehensive training
Testimonial from Victoria Greenwood |
| 17/06/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Outdoor Resources Ltd | A very hands on approach to a normally very dry subject. Lots of information delivered at a snappy pace. Physically demanding so those with joint problems need to discuss the programme in advance.
Testimonial from Alison St. Pierre |
| 16/06/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | This was the second time I have done a course with Pete and I will be back in 3 years time! The mixture of theory and realistic practical, un-pressured environment and working with like minded people made it great learning environment.

| 12/06/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | An enjoyable and worthwhile 2 day programme that I found very useful to update & improve my previous knowledge & 1st Aid qualifications. I thought Pete created a very good 'learning' environment throughout the programme.
Many thanks

Testimonial from Paul Bate |
| 04/06/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Outdoor Resources Ltd | Ashley St.John Clare is a first class deliverer of this course and our group have used him for years. The students are well informed and his teaching methods ensure that they retain a large amount of information and skills. This can be seen when they have to do their refreshers out on the hills. An exercise we practice on a regular basis.
Testimonial from Stuart Sykes |
| 15/05/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A very practical course with plenty of opportunities to share ideas and to practice.

Testimonial from Ian Currer
http://www.northern-paragliding.com |
| 30/04/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I thought the course was very well run and enjoyable to attend. The course was well adapted to cover the outdoor scenarios many of us (all students worked in the outdoors) would face. The outside practical element was especially useful, and if anything, more of this would be beneficial as these are the conditions we would be working in, rather than a nice flat floor in a pub.
Testimonial from Simon Oakley |
| 25/04/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Best first aid course I've attended. Thank you
Testimonial from Alison Bembridge |

| 06/04/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Thoroughly enjoyed the hands on approach. One of the best 1st Aid courses I have attended in a long time. Pete's delivery of starting at the beginning each time meant that the information was being continuously reinforced.

| 25/02/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The coarse was well tailored to towards outdoor and sports professionals (which the trainees all were).

Testimonial from Thomas Cassidy |
| 22/02/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Outdoor Resources Ltd | I really enjoyed the course having found it useful and practical. The 'Hands-On' approach is greatly effective in the learning process and , although I hope never to need the skills I have learned, I feel they will put me in good stead in an emergency. Thanks
Testimonial from Michael Nicholson |
| 29/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The course was run in a very practical, hands on way. I certainly think this will enable me to retain and build on the excellent content and delivery ...... and it was good fun !
Testimonial from Glenn Bridge |
| 26/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A great couple of days really nailing some basic skills. Very useful and practical scenarios were carried out over the 2 days which really helped in learning the sequence of dealing with a variety of situations. The trainer had an effective style which created a good environment to learn
Testimonial from Janet Wilkinson |
| 20/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A good experience all round. I have been doing this Level of First aid course every 3 Years since 1998. This was one of the best, I came away fealing that i had learned a lot more than I expected to. Thanks Very Much.

| 13/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Thanks for a very helpful two day course, I will certainly feel more confident and I hope will be more competent, dealing with first aid incidents outside.
Testimonial from Fleur Spore |
| 13/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I do feel more ready to approach different situations able to look at the circumstances and have a clearer sense of the aspects I need to consider and how to make the situation most secure etc, given the circumstances. I would have liked to have had even more time spent on different scenarios, possibly starting by the end of the first day, and perhaps extending the use of items we would be carrying in a rucksack. The scoring system was excellent as it kept driving home the fact that the essential needs have to be remembered every single time.
I found Pete Cunningham an excellent trainer, able to make us feel we were working together and concerned about the same matters and yet also clearly a thoughtful authority on first aid needs and situations. The way that he encouraged some discussion without letting this take over or deflect us from the central needs was excellent.
The setting added to the good experience - far better than a bare hall. The sense that the people at Little Gidding were interested in us having a successful time added to the positive sense.
Testimonial from Helen Garrett |
| 12/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I found the course very informative and active. The instructor’s presentation was very lively and he showed good knowledge and experience of first aid.
Testimonial from Joseph White
http://www.lancastercys.com/ |
| 12/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The course was excellent, 10/10. The trainer was really good, I liked the way that he could use his own experience as a mountain rescuer. I liked that there was lots of 'hands on' for us, as it meant that the information went in better, and it made it more interesting. I enjoyed getting outside to put what we had learnt into a practical situation, and the scenarios made you think!
Testimonial from Hayley Weightman |
| 11/01/2009 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | very enjoyable course. even if the weather wasnt!

Testimonial from Matthew L Dobson |
| 16/12/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Excellent course Pete. Enjoy isn't the word I'd use as I find it quite stressful - with so much information in such a short time. Personally I'd prefer a drip-drip approach.
Also booklet is excellent and I will refer it again and again to try to get keep these procedures in my mind.

| 05/12/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I thought Pete was excellent. Clear, concise and pragmatic. I learnt lots of useful information as it was kept in an easy to understand format. I liked the way he kept using lots of different mediums for training (video, booklet, powerpoint, diaglogue, demonstrations) as it kept it interesting. Brilliant.
Testimonial from Lucy Bound |
| 04/12/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I found the course enjoyable, and particularly liked the emphasis on the key "Must-do's" ABC. I think i will definitely be able to retain the appropriate information under pressure if ever faced with a serious incident. This gives me confidence - prevous courses i have found a bit overloaded and left overwhelmed. This course was perfect - thank you very much Pete. Kathy
Testimonial from Kathy Iffla |
| 04/12/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I thought the course was made very relevent to everyone who attended, which was quite a wide range of people, which was excellent.

Testimonial from Aileen Wright, Senior consultant, Impact International |
| 12/10/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Thank you very much Pete. I really enjoyed the course. I think particular strengths are having so much opportunity to practice and repeat procedures and so feel confident with what we need to do. Assessing each other is great because it required us to constantly reflect on what we were doing and so reinforced the learning. Your style of delivery, and confidence in our ability to succeed is very affirming. Thanks.

| 28/07/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The course was carried out very well, with a relaxed approach, however it was still packed full of information and I think everyone felt like they learnt something new.
Testimonial from Catherine Turner |
| 25/07/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | The course repeats lots the "arrive at the scene what to do" bit witch is very useful when faced with a real situation. I have realised that i would do things differently if I ever was faced with the real situation i had to deal with again.
Testimonial from Stuart Carter

Testimonial from Bruce Bell |
| 28/04/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Really enjoyed the course, I was expecting to learn lots of stuff about how to deal with broken ankles/legs head injuries that I might get climbing. But putting all the heart attack/stroke/diabetes stuff in context makes me see that this is probably more useful.
Learning how to prioritise breathing/neck injuries was particularly interesting.
Cheers for a good weekend.

| 23/03/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I really enjoyed the course, it was the second I had been on at this venue. I find the pace and structure of the course excellent. I feel the course really concentrates on the basics but more advanced information is available if you need it.
Testimonial from Joseph Maguire |
| 20/03/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A great hands on course. I think the session where you got us to train each other whilst managing a casualty really helped. It forced us to think about what we were doing and by vocalising it to someone else also meant that we had to put the sequence of treatment in a logical sequence. A very useful training aid. Hope to see you in the future - Kind regards Chris

| 07/12/2007 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | A useful hands on ( all over!)course, a positive but calm atmosphere was created.Well organised, good equipment, Pete did a great job. Essential course to keep up to date, would be good to offer one day refreshers too.
Testimonial from Philippa McMurdo |
| 06/12/2007 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Particularly impressed with Pete's personal experience of real first aid that backed up an incredibly thorough medical knowledge, and excellent delivery. He managed a group superbly that had a mixture of 'never done a 1st aid course' to some of the most experienced British Mountain Guides in the country. Pete is far more than someone who has been on a first aid trainers course! Highly recommended. Loz Colyer Deputy Head of Centre, Tower Wood LEA.

Testimonial from Les Anderson |
| 07/03/2008 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | I often come away from courses no better than I had when I went in. I came away from this first aid course with the confidence and understanding to respond for real should the situation occur. Many thanks to Pete and Steve for an excellent educational, inspirational and fun course.

| 07/12/2007 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | First Aid Cumbria. | Well considered, practical and enjoyable First Aid course aimed specifically at those taking part in outdoor activities. Not just a certificate, something that might genuinely help you if faced with an emergency situation on the hills.

Just a quick word to say how much I enjoyed the first aid course. I guess I am like many clients who take part for NGB validation - I booked because it is a requirement of my BASI licence to say up to date. Having said that I would recommend your course to all, particularly outdoor enthusiasts and will be passing on your details to those at the NPA who deal with health and safety. You created a very positive and supportive atmosphere and the coaching progression and variety of styles and activity were great. I was intrigued by your idea of first aid training as a group development activity and I could well be in touch to talk about that in the future.
All the very best.
