This was my first time doing a first aid course. The course content was excellent as was Allan the trainer. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I was apprehensive before the course however we were all put at ease straight away. The demonstration and interaction was great so you leave with a great understanding of first aid and how to administer correctly. Would recommend to everyone

… Most importantly, I now feel completely confident in applying the skills I’ve learned should I ever need to. Thank you so much, Allan – I highly recommend your training!

I thought Allan was excellent at conveying the importance of first aid. He made it easy to understand and also explained the signs to look for when administering first aid. Environment and workplace situations were discussed.

I recently attended skills training group for a first aid at work course. They were rhe cheapest by miles. The venue was easy to access and plenty parking at. The trainer Allan King is like rain man! No power point, handouts, paperwork from beginning to end it was all from memory. Really interactive having a go at cpr, recovery position. Great course that I hopefully don't need to use but I feel far more confident if I had to help
