Thank you Luke, you were excellent. Made an important but dense subject engaging and digestible. I left feeling much more confidant.

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.

This was my second First Aid course organised through Watchtree Nature Reserve. The first by a different provider, whilst adequate, stuck to basics and didn't inspire my confidence.
Lakes First Aid was, thankfully, completely different. Delivered with boundless and infectious enthusiasm and containing the latest advice and techniques. The repeated practical sessions really helped to consolidate the learning.
The very useful hints and tips on how to access emergency information and make the most of what a mobile telephone can provide was eye opening. The defibrillator demonstration has made me feel much more confident in their use if needed.
Overall an excellent course to gain new knowledge and techniques and has made me feel significantly more confident that if I found someone in need of assistance I would help rather than stand by and hope that someone else would step in.

I was really glad that the trainer taught us about the difference with male and female heart attack symptoms and spoke about removing bras when using a defibrillator. He was very knowledgeable about the statistics on women being less likely to receive CPR. This is the first time I have seen a first aid trainer acknowledge this and I think it’s great. 10/10

Clear instructions at the outset (no storytelling!!)
A perfect mix of getting the information across, while keeping the group engaged and busy. Repetition & build on DRS ABC was a great format for learning.
