“This was the best first aid course I have ever been on. To be honest I signed up to it because it’s a requirement and something you need to know, but I wasn’t looking forward to spending a whole sunny weekend doing it, however, it was absolutely brilliant, engaging, great fun and both leaders should be on the stage because their acting abilities were amazing and really bought the various scenarios to life. I would highly recommend to anyone, especially those bored of the bog standard first aid course.”
