Great course, thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter's style is really relaxed and welcoming, great delivery of relevant and interesting 1st hand and 3rd party accounts of real situations that really highlights the importance of the skill. Excellent practical scenarios to keep you on your toes, and a nice dose of humour thrown in. Until next time, thanks.

Pete has excellent relevant background practical knowledge, which he freely shares when appropriate. The course is well supported with quality props and visual aids. The pre-course e-learning activity was excellent, enabling more time to concentrate on practical aspects. Time well spent.

Ross was was extremely experienced and knowledgeable, as well as encouraging and supportive throughout the course. The first aid equipment was extensive and really helped during the practical element of the course. I feel much more confident in facing a situation where first aid is required.

I think Ross did an amazing job of making the course fun, interesting and engaging for the full two days. By role playing situations, we hopefully committed what we learnt to muscle memory. I regularly recommend this course to colleagues.

I thoroughly recommend Pete's 2-day first aid course. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, a very personable style, and lots of kit for participants to practice on. I started the course knowing next to nothing about serious first aid, and finished the course feeling confident that I could respond well to a broad range of potential incidents and save lives.

Pete is fantastic! I was terrified of the course; I now have a "script" to use in situations and clear ideas of how to progress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the course and would do it again tomorrow! Pete's very practical approach gave plenty of opportunities to practise and his 'stories' were exceedingly useful and will inform my first aid and keep it in my mind for many years to come. Thank you Pete!

16/09/2025 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Lakes First Aid

Thank you very much for the excellent delivery of this course. I've done many in the past but non as active, or truly rooted in a hands on, problem solving and confidence building approach. The many hours flew by with welcome changes in activities and in place - indoor/outdoor. I really welcomed the clear rule at the start of the course of no story telling. This kept us focused and relevant. I really appreciated the quality of refreshments too - these helped keep my energy and attention levels up. An excellent course - thank you Ross.
