Ross is one of the best teachers across any discipline that I have seen. He transmit infectious enthusiasm for the subject, and is dynamic and engaging throughout. This makes the first aid training a real pleasure.

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!

Ross was an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable and approachable. Really tailored the course to the groups experience. Absolute opposite of death by PowerPoint as the majority of the course was hands on and engaging throughout

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. I would recommend Lakes First Aid / Active aid / Luke to anyone wanting to learn Outdoor first aid.

Luke was an exceptional trainer, the best I have had in nearly 40hrs of being a first aider. His knowledge was exceptional and brought in his experience to the course, he gave us all the confidence we needed to deal with the situations we found.

20/07/2026 — 'Outdoor First Aid 2 day' course by Lakes First Aid

I truly hope I will never face the more dramatic scenarios we discussed and explored. Actually nothing more than a (small) blister works fine for me. But we were given clearly presented relevant information with a specific focus and a practical element. We had information delivered with the weight of experience. Nothing was 'wrong': we explored how a decision could have been 'better' and - the Big Deal - why. I would still rather experience nothing more than a blister - but I was given the opportunity to develop the skill and the confidence to understand what to do in more significant situations.

A brilliant course, lead by instructors who were clearly passionate about first aid and teaching us to a high standard, giving us the skills and confidence we would need out in the real world. They did a great job of taking a large group of people who didn't know each other and creating a fun, interesting and engaging course.
