“Highly interactive, practical sessions reinforcing First Aid theory. These sessions highlighted that real-life, "outdoors" First Aid needs to consider factors such as situational dangers, clothing layers and equipment blowing away! Sam is a first rate tutor who puts enormous energy into planning and delivering the sessions.”
“Very good tuition, presented well, I have sat through a lot of first aid courses over the years as required for work, this one didn't feel like we were just going through the motions for a bit of paper at the end, but to create people better equipped to deal with an incident requiring first aid. Thank you.”
