Testimonials

“Dave has been great and I really enjoyed his real life experiences (First Aid at Work Requalification). It is a fast paced course but I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 days. There have been many changes since I first qualified 3 years ago so I am glad I came. Thank you!”

“Great trainer, detailed descriptions and overall subject knowledge. A lot was learnt and the delivery of this (First Aid at Work) played a significant role. I loved that we were only a class of 3, it allowed for more in depth questions and learning. I really enjoyed frst aid this time! I have increased understanding and confidence in responding to situations that require first aid. 10/10″

“The trainer was brilliant, using real life incidents and stores as examples really helped me to learn and remember. The training was really engaging with lots of time for questions which were answered fully. I feel more confident in practicing first aid now than i did on my last course.”

“Thank you to Roger, the trainer (Fire Marshal with Live Fire) for extremely interesting and informative training which he was able to adapt to the roles of the group who were from a variety of organisations and roles.10/10″

“The trainer was lovely and very informative. Delivers the course in a nice way that makes you feel relaxed and more able/willing to participate and no fear of being wrong. Doesn’t highlight you in the spotlight which can make you feel uneasy when you are so this was appreciated. The course was very thorough with some extra information provided to help. 10/10”

ML, Private

“I would just like to Thank you so much for squeezing me into the course last night (2 hour Free infant and child Resuscitation). I went in to it with zero knowledge on choking and resuscitation and first aid but left the course confident I could put in to practice what I was taught. Te instructor was an absolute hero…. so knowledgeable, so friendly, so helpful and so amazing he stayed on late to run through everything with me to make sure I was confident. Especially after an incident my wife had the day before in a supermarket. I will be booking my wife and her siblings onto the next course – I can’t speak highly enough of it! Thank you again and please pass on my thanks again to the trainer, he really is amazing.”

LC

“The training was relevant, really informative, comprehensive and at a great pace (Foundation Level Manual Handling) 10/10.”

“I attended a First Aid at Work course this week and I want to let you know how fantastic the trainer was. I have never enjoyed a course so much and I was actually not looking forward to it as I had attended a previous first aid course some years ago (not with yourselves) and did not enjoy it. He delivered the training professionally and constantly kept people’s attention as he made it so interesting and kept everyone involved. I am going to miss attending the course tomorrow. He is an absolute credit to Acorn.”

“He was the best trainer we’ve had, made it so real and relevant. Kept our engagement. His passion shines through. I feel far more confident with all First Aid. 10/10”
