"As a company, we wouldn't go to any other training provider. The staff are amazing at what they do, they are very experienced and the training provided is very thorough; the trainers have a very strong and sound knowledge base, and share their knowledge in ways that engage our care team and leave them ready to apply it with confidence in the work they carry out. If we need to book in a training session last minute they are always happy to help and do everything they can to try and fit us in. Overall, we couldn't recommend them enough."
"I just wanted to add a few words to say how fantastic this company is. Our school have used them for several first aid courses now and I can honestly say they are the best! The training is outstanding, they are consummate professionals all wrapped up in a fun bundle. One of our staff members said " I learnt so much on the course, it was brilliant and I don't think I've ever been on such an entertaining course either!". Thanks everyone, we will be seeing you next time."
