Awards and In The Press
“Anything that could help save a life or reduce the severity of an injury should be encouraged and that’s why I fully support First Aid for Life and the tailored training they are offering.”
This online course was excellent-derailed where it needed to be, but otherwise concise. The quizzes were a great knowledge check. I will be using this course for my future employees.”
“Have been on the St Johns Ambulance 3 day courses and 2 day refresher courses over the last 20 years but have learned so much more on your course. Really enjoyed the complete course, you are a excellent teacher 5 stars all the way.”
“I have recently completed the Online Essential First Aid course equivalent to 2 hours CPD. I did it in one sitting as I found the mix of videos, quizzes and basic information pages held my attention. Emma’s style as trainer is non-threatening and empathetic. Her advice is practical and presented in a manner which makes it both helpful and memorable. I was thrilled to get my certificate at the end. I would heartily recommend this course to others.”
