First Aid for Life trainers are experienced health and emergency services professionals and will tailor the training to your needs in a friendly and knowledgeable manner.

The teacher was very friendly and reassuring and explained each emergency situation and the relevant first aid solution very clearly and logically. The atmosphere in the room was relaxed and welcoming. I would highly recommend ‘First Aid for Life’s courses.

The training was first rate: instantly memorable, spot on in terms of need to know, interesting and very congenial. There is a gulf between your provision and other training I took before I discovered you: I am a very willing repeat customer! It is also intelligent, time-efficient and yet always accessible if there is a further question. Please pass on how much I enjoyed the morning and how it really has boosted my confidence.
The training room is fabulous too – the first time I have experienced it.
