A really enjoyable, although intensive course, but I do feel more confident in giving first aid, and not avoiding a situation.

An excellent and clearly focused course yet again, with Pete striking just the right balance between technical 'know how' and down-to-earth practicality.

Pete was fantastic. A brilliant trainer. This was the first training course I've done, and I came away with so much more than I'd expected. It was challenging, serious, light when needed, accessible and thoroughly engaging, all in equal measure. The perfect mix of learning styles delivered by someone with vast amounts of skill and experience.

I have always appreciated Pete's very pragmatic approach to First Aid, it is based on years of experience and what works.
Pete has a very engaging presentation style and the course is a good mix of theory, presentations and hands on.
Thanks again.

Luke was a very knowledgeable but empathetic "human" trainer and I feel we benefitted from the "no stories" rule.
