I really liked the practical elements and tips. Working in groups was really useful, even if playing scenarios isn't something you're keen on. The additional educational videos and real life interviews and examples were great. I think the focus on cold water and hypothermia was really excellent especially considering recent events.

The course provided an excellent and up to date 'refresher' for all involved. Luke, our course provider, was knowledgeable, concise and well-versed in the realities of first aid. His pragmatic and informed approach to first-aid was helpful and reassuring. An excellent 'hands-on' course. Thank you.

The quality of the delivery was excellent throughout. Luke was an outstanding tutor, and this was the second time I have attended this course with him. His depth of knowledge, calm manner, and engaging delivery style really stood out. He created a supportive and welcoming learning environment, encouraged questions and discussion, and was very effective at adapting content to the needs and experience of the group.
The resources were very well prepared and well suited to outdoor first aid, with realistic equipment and scenarios that supported practical, hands‑on learning. Everything was clearly organised, which helped the course run smoothly over the two days.
There was also a real sense of warmth and positivity throughout the programme. Combined with the beautiful outdoor setting, this significantly enhanced the learning experience and made the course both enjoyable and memorable.
