AG, Windmill Hill City Farm

“Amanda was fun friendly and professional throughout. She explained the course aims and used the slides to deliver but added personal touches. There was time to discuss and ask questions aswell which allowed ownership of your own learning. The facilities were clean and well maintained. There was a good mix of practical and theory in the course. I definitley feel more confident in using first aid now. 10/10”
