What people are saying about this course
“Excellent Course, with great online training and support. ”
– Liam, Sports Coach from Durham“I needed to review my first aid skills and could not get to a course due to heavy commitments. The combination of short videos, a manual and being able to stop and save meant I could fit this in to an overcrowded schedule. I will definitely come back regularly to watch the videos as a refresher! Thank you for an excellent service. Highly recommended.”
– Theo, Physiotherapist from Hampshire
