What our customers think of this course type:
ALL GOOD
Andrew was an excellent trainer.
He had excellent practical and theoretical skills.
He had a good sense of humour and kept us all interested, unlike many other annual updates I have attended in the past 30yrs.
Our surgery was only small so we were a bit cramped, however we all managed our practical sessions.
I am looking forward to attending next year in your own training centre.

What our customers think of this course type:
I really enjoyed doing the first aid requalification course with Lakes First Aid. The two day course is very thorough with a good mix of practical and online learning. The online learning was very easy to use and very informative with videos to watch throughout which really embedded the information. The practical course was led by expert staff who explained and showed best first aid practice and answered queries relating to my work environment which has built my confidence in carrying out first aid effectively. I would highly recommend Lakes First Aid to everyone.

What our customers think of this course type:
I really like how the course can be done online before having a day course, it splits it up well. I have done a few first aid courses but learnt some things today that I’ve never been shown or taught before. Luke made the day fun, he explained things well, he gave us time, I really liked how much group work was involved and how hands on we were other than just sitting and listening. The venue was great as it provided lots of space and was warm enabling us to work well and concentrate, I would recommend this course to anyone. Thank you to Luke!

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.
