Testimonials

“Excellent anecdotes, course was entertaining and the trainer had great knowledge”

“Best manual handling I’ve been on so far. Plenty of practice with different equipment and scenarios. 10/10”

“I just wanted to let you know that 10 of our volunteers attended first aid training on Friday 19th May 2017 and we really enjoyed it! The Acorn trainer was a very entertaining trainer who has the ability to make it fun yet still deliver the important content! We all came away feeling confident with our new skills! A huge thank you for accommodating our needs as an organisation, we really appreciate it, and will  definitely be looking into other courses. Acorn deliver.”

“I have had first aid training and now the IOSH course through Acorn. both courses were great very professional with both trainers being excellent getting the point across in a very relaxed way. Thanks Roger for an enjoyable course. I thought the pace, content and the way in which it was presented was first class. As an added bonus I thought lunch was great”

“The most effective manual handling training session I have undertaken.”

“The Emergency First Aid course was helpful specifically using the defibrillator. I found the course good fun.”

“The First Aid at Work Re-qualification course was helpful in reviewing changes in practice over the last 3 years. The defibrillator training will potentially help more people sooner. The Acorn trainer made everyone feel at ease & the group integrated and engaged quickly”

“The Administering Medication training was helpful in understanding about EpiPens and how to administer eye drops.”

“I found all of the 12 hour Paediatric First Aid course helpful! It was good to hear all the information and it made me feel more confident. I found Linda extremely clear in her explanations and teachings. The facilities were good and it was organised very well.”

“The Asbestos Awareness course I found really interesting/fascinating and worrying. I found the Statistics re: Asbestosis, really highlighted the problem & identification of materials containing asbestos was useful for my working environment.”

“Each and every part of the Asbestos Awareness course showed how ignorant I was concerning asbestos. I will ensure that work done in our premises will be done and recorded properly.”

“The delivery of the IOSH Managing Safely course was perfectly blended between reading and discussion/participation.”

“Attended the Level 3 Paediatric First Aid training: Big thank you to the Acorn trainer, fantastic trainer, passionate, caring & brought the training to life with his experience and personality.”

“The part of the Level 3 Paediatric Fist Aid training I found most helpful was the CPR section and, understanding it in more depth, it’s really clicked this time! It’s given me confidence and solidified my previous knowledge. I love the focus on simplicity, a great presentation in language I understand.”

“The part I found most helpful was learning about the different types of epilepsy and the way to administer the medication.  I feel confident I will know what to look out for now.”
