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!

Steve Donaldson - Revolution Cycling Team, Nairn

"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

“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

"Tom was a fantastic tutor. Everything was explained and demonstrated in a clear, simple manner. A fantastic course!"

J. Baillie, SU Scotland

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

"From start to finish, this course has been efficiently and helpfully run. We all thought Tom was exceptionally good. Thanks for all your help."

C. McLean, Coupar Angus Cycle Hub

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

"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

"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

"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

"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

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

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

"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
