Further advice to help you choose a suitable First Aid at Work course is available from the Health and Safety Executive.
What our customers think of this course type:
This is the best first aid course I have done. Pete is so well informed and passionate about first aid and this really came across in his delivery. I really enjoyed how practical the course felt. Having our own adult, child and baby mannequin to practise CPR on alongside use of an app to self assess, really helped me to gain confidence in this skill. I also found the catastrophic bleed section incredibly useful and loved practising direct digit pressure and packing on the squidgy wound cubes. The videos Pete used over the course of the 2 days were all very engaging and helped to cement my learning. The content and Pete's delivery both really helped to simplify all aspects of first aid and I definitely feel like I won't be forgetting the basics as quickly as I normally would. Also, I felt utterly reassured by the Covid risk assessment and policy that Pete had put in place.

What our customers think of this course type:
My first aid course at the Brenin was cancelled so had a quick look around and choose to head up to the Lakes and do Pete Cunningham's course. Really enjoyed it and it had my thinking challenged (always a very good thing). I would thoroughly recommend Active Aid and the venue was great with a pub lunch provided each day. Very well run.

What our customers think of this course type:
Thank you, you've provided me with another engaging and informative training session. I always feel reassured that the information that you are teaching is as up to date and relevant as it can be due to you both being paramedics, plus the real life experience that you feed into the course makes it really interesting.
(Also I can vouch for your advice on how to remove blood stains from school shirts, it worked a treat, that advice was worth the course fee in itself!!)
See you both in three years time
