What our customers think of this course type:

I recently completed the Emergency First Aid for Sport course and found it to be both practical and clear. The trainer used repetition to make sure we were confident in what to do in different situations, and they cleverly adapted scenarios to put us under some pressure. This approach really reinforced the learning and gave me confidence that I’d know how to respond if needed. Highly recommended for anyone involved in sport or fitness.

What our customers think of this course type:

I can thoroughly recommend Luke Armatage and the Active Aid First Aid at Work course. Luke is extremely knowledgeable. Luke moulded the course to the group he had in front of him making it relevant to the type of work we do which made it very easy to take in. He taught us in a very informal "easy to learn" way and the two days just flew by.

Just completed my Emergency First Aid for Sport training with Lakes First Aid. Ross was an excellent trainer, being both knowledgeable and engaging in his presentation of both the theory and the practical elements. As a Sports Therapist, I have attended a few First Aid courses over the years but I felt this was by far the most enjoyable. I would have no hesitation to recommend Lakes First Aid to my colleagues and friends.
