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.

Luke was an excellent communicator and facilitator - the practical learning on this course was superb - so much better than any First Aid course I have been on before. Luke took the time to genuinely welcome and know who was in the room which enhanced the learning from the beginning. He had the skills to help people feel comfortable about getting involved in a very active way. Working with one other person through the day helped to build trust when we were practicing first aid skills physically. Thank you for an excellent day!

Ross was a fantastic trainer, very engaging and in depth but in a concise manner. He was very personable. Being able to practically apply every training method, using example equipment, definitely made such a difference in my understanding and memory.

Luke did a fabulous of job of running the two day course. Third or fourth time I've been on an LFA Outdoor first aid training course and I think they're exemplary. The courses provide the perfect balance of content delivery, group activities and carefully designed scenarios that help you to develop the course skills and build your confidence. Would highlighly recommend to anyone working in the outdoors.

Very well run course with an excellent trainer, the homemade cake is always a plus too. It's good to see the advancement in training equipment being used from when I last went on one of Luke's Outdoor First Aid courses, which really helps to make sure that you're doing things in the correct manner, along with practical scenarios to put the theory into practice.

I thought that the day was great. Luke was a good instructor and was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. I liked the practical elements and the way that he broke things down. This takes the pressure off just doing things once and not actaully getting to practice and learn for yourself.

Phil Davies. Productive Landscape Manager
"I don't think I've ever come across a more effective trainer than Ross. If you want a pragmatic and engaging approach to learning critical 1st Aid skills in the Outdoors, then you will be hard pushed to find anyone as good as Ross - enthusiastic, humorous, serious, helpful, and enormously confidence building.
