Just wanted to email and thank you for the course this weekend. It will make a big different to the things I take in my pack on a day out, and the way I think when out in the hills.
Thanks

A. Fagan, Borders Forest Trust

The teaching was very good and did not fall into the usual trap of just trying to show off their own knowledge. Both instructors where not only very knowledgeable, but also very personable and easy to learn from!

T. Lamont - RSPB Scotland

Ali was a great, friendly, enthusiastic and honest assessor, he made the course both informative and entertaining.  The first aid experiences of the 12 students ranged from very to none and yet this was never an issue and as someone with no experience I didn't at any point feel out of my depth.

K. Miller - Inverness

It was extremely useful to do some homework from the manual before the course so receiving it in advance was great.  It is concise and relevant and the video clips are a great aid to learning and retaining skills.

L. Archbold

Thank you for sending my certificate and an overall very big thank you for the professional manner that your organisation operates.

G. Henderson

Having completed some basic first aid courses before, I felt Tom's explanation of scenarios and treatment made it much easier to remember. I now feel much more confident and am very clear on how these skills relate to a real life, outdoor setting. Thanks.

C. Barrow, Stonehaven

The course was absolutely excellent. Impeccably organised and delivered, and Stef was one of the most patient, genuine and excellent first aid facilitators I've worked with so far.

B. Nyznik, Salisbury Centre

My 2 day course at Mugdock Country Park was fantastic.  The course content and delivery was brilliant and my A-E is well established in my brain.

I will be recommending your company to others.

R. Harper, West Dumbartonshire Council

Thank you very much !  Thanks for your great help.  You & Lorna & your company in general are so easy to work with, so helpful & reliable.   I struggle with other suppliers ! It's so great to have someone I can rely on! 😊

L. Jordan - Forest Research

"Very skilled instructor with excellent communication skills.  Adapts to suit knowledge of student.  A friendly approach was taken throughout the course."

M. Hutson, Fife Council

Please give a big thanks to Ali.  His presentation of the course was fantastic and very engaging.  Every staff member has commented on how much they enjoyed the course and how much they have gotten out of it.  Suffice to say I will be recommending to others and hope to use you again in the future.

D. Gordon, Torrance Partnership

I’d like to say that as soon as I’d booked this course the communication and instructions/ resources have been brilliant. Both instructors were excellent trainers and assessors, very approachable and made the learning and assessing process much easier. I’d definitely recommend your company to others, I hope to see you again on future courses.

K. Thomson, Mountain Training Association

"I just wanted to send you a wee email to say I have had such great feedback from the staff regarding the first aid training which Cory delivered over the last 2 Saturdays for us.  Please pass on our thanks to him!  The feedback includes that it is the best training staff have attended!  Thank you for being so efficient in sending me information and for your help in arranging the training."

Mhairi, Les Enfants Nurseries

We have just completed your Emergency First Aid in the Workplace course! We had a great time and learned so much, you could not have done more to aid our learning experience.
We look forward to your annual refresher.
Thanks for our knowledge and training.

J. McAlley, 2 Pins Company, Pinwherry, South Ayrshire

"I have to say it was the most enjoyable and best first aid course I have been on, and I have done loads.  Thanks"

A. Cain, Aberdeen

I have done many first aid courses over the years, there is usually something I forget or can't take in. This course was very thorough, on subjects that I expected, but was delivered in a way that made it easier to understand 'why' things do what they do, so therefore a lot easier to remember.

'K' - 09/02/20

I felt the instructors were very confident, knowledgeable and approachable. There was a lot of repetition of key skills which helped make it stick in your head and lots of opportunity for individual problem solving. I really enjoyed the course and found it interesting and helpful.

T. Powell - Edinburgh

I was genuinely impressed by the course, having done a number of "tick the box" courses, it was a pleasure to do a course where you were actually expected to learn something useful, rather than acquire a piece of paper.

S. Mulholland, Pony Axe S

Medi-K and First Aid Training Co-operative provide first aid training to the British Racing School which is tailored to meet the needs of the equestrian industry. The trainers are engaging, professional and make the sessions interactive and interesting for both staff and students. I would recommend them to anyone needing equestrian first aid.

C. Bramhill, HR Director, The British Racing School

I enjoyed the enthusiasm of the trainers and everything was extremely well explained. It gave me confidence that I would be able to react to a range of scenarios and I enjoyed that they showed you how to utilise everyday items rather than specialist equipment.

S. Jessiman, Edinburgh

Couldn’t praise Ali enough. Delivered at the right level for an experienced group, and challenged us all on the second day with real life simulations. Our prior training was very much ‘casualty lying on the back, standard procedure’.

J. Bond, Perth

"Cory was a fantastic, fun and enthusiastic instructor who tailored the course to suite the exact needs our guide/instructor team in Kenya required. An extremely comprehensive and in-depth 2 days that made us all feel comfortable in dealing with a first aid situation."

James Savage, Savage Wilderness

"Having an expert look over our emergency procedures and combine it with a first aid refresher was a great help to staff and the management team at the centre, and gives us some piece of mind that we are demonstrating best practice for the season ahead. Huge thanks for training again, we'll do the same again next year."

Dave Jacobs, Aberdeen Snowsports Centre


I was so impressed by the course and found it extremely helpful to improve my pretty atrophied skills. I learnt a lot of new things  - and feel much more confident in dealing with emergencies going forward. The manuals are really thorough and grand to have on my phone.


A. Griffiths

I honestly can’t remember being on such an informative and valuable course delivered in such a professional and memorable fashion. Thanks for running the course and rest assured that I will be promoting it at any opportunity and will be pushing to get some more of our members through it at the next opportunity!
