The trainer was extremely experienced and was able to give first hand examples of different aid scenarios. It was a relaxed atmosphere and no one felt pressured to try techniques if they didn’t want to. The trainer had a good sense of humour and the ratio of watching and listening and hands on practice was great.

Luke delivered an excellent outdoor first aid course once again and I thoroughly enjoyed the two days. His delivery style is both supportive and conducive to remembering the important aspects of first aid in the outdoor environment. I particularly value his coaching on how to remain calm and confident, trusting that your instincts and knowledge of first aid skills. It was great to return to Lakes First Aid again to re-qualify and update on the latest changes to best practice and advice.

09/09/2026 — 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course by Lakes First Aid

I signed up as work had offered the training and I thought it would be a good thing to have a refresher on. It’s definitely the best first aid course I have attended - interactive with a good balance of hands on learning vs knowledge taught. The equipment was so useful - not only do I feel more confident if I had to use these skills but I’ve also learnt invaluable lessons on choking, heart attacks etc which you never know when you might need - not just in the work place. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and Ross was an excellent trainer. Highly recommend this course to anyone - great tool set to have!

I highly recommend this First Aid course. The knowledge and experience of the instructor shows in a well delivered, fully engaging course, which educates on what to expect in a real situation. The course was interactive and a safe space for students to ask questions, which were always answered thoroughly to ensure everyone fully understood. I will continue to keep coming back when my next First Aid update is due. Thank you!

Luke was a truly brilliant trainer. The course was so interactive and drew on realistic scenarios making all the information easier to learn and absorb. All questions were answered thoughtfully and everyone felt that they could speak up when they wanted to. The cake was also fantastic.

Thank you for a very intensive, fact packed, practical course. The delivery was frst rate by an extremely knowledgeable paramedic (Andrew Dickinson) with huge expereince to draw upon in case examples; The resources were also better than any other course i have been on with 1 x resuscitation doll per person with high tech gadgets to monitor pace and technique. I have not come across that before and it gave feedback in real time which was very helpful. All round a first rate expereince. Thank you Kentdale First Aid.
