I wanted to attend Emergency First Aid at Work on the 12th of November 2021, however, the next day after booking the... course (on 23-10-2021), I received an email from the organizer stating the conditions and requirements. After careful reading, I decided to cancel my booking as I did not feel comfortable with the requirements, however, the organizer refused to issue me a full refund stating that I have never requested the cancellation as they have "double checked". Even though I cannot comment on the content of the course as I have never had attended it, I feel the organization around the course was below the reasonable standard, therefore, I decided to put 1 star. I hope the organizer can improve their communication and address the current situation as soon as reasonably possible. Thank you.read more

In my 35 year career I can honestly say this was the best first aid course I have attended! Really well presented and... good delivery. Online work was essential to the course, providing more depth of knowledge but was easy to work through. The course was well designed and tweaked for individual professions. Paul, our trainer, was very engaging and kept everyone’s interest. The day flew by! Well worth booking!!read more

I attended a 3 hour emergency First Aid course extremely well delivered by Jenny. She covered so many topics and... presented them in an easy to remember practical manner. She was also able to stimulate and answer several questions from the group around and on a tangent to the topic. I feel much more confident now.read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this First Aid course. The course was brilliant, not only did it take place in a air conditioned... room on one of the hottest days of the month, but the course was very hands on with lots of opportunity to practice the life saving techniques. The course instructor Steve was truly exceptional, he communicated well, was very knowledgeable and interacted well with all the delegates. I would definitely use First Aid for Life again and again and am happy to recommend them.read more

We used First Aid for Life for some in-house First Aid training for the coaches and managers at our cricket club. Those... who participated came away with a lot more confidence and knowledge on how to support club members who may need first aid, and also what pro-active measures should be in place to minimise risk as much as possible. A great session, thanksread more

I've had over 20 years of First Aid courses in various locations and environments. Without exception this was the... best.From the get go we were very well informed and kept up to date with information during the COVID-19 developments and it's subsequent restrictions and limitations.The course was very well attended (including 5 of my own Team) by a diverse crowd with varying experience and requirements. These were all answered and handled exceptionally.Clarity in explanation and understanding was second to none and it's the very first time a course leader has not only explained the biomechanics of certain situations and techniques but also applied relevant, practical and common sense!Cannot recommend them enough.read more
