In the future I would consider doing the 16 hours over three days if such format exists due to the length of the days….The content and practicals were good however, and a great way to embed the information and keep people interested.
Joanne
Really enjoyable, good use of outside space. Great timings, i.e. a good amount of practicals to theory work.

The course had a really good mixture of practical and theory! I really enjoyed it and learnt how to use the Defib! I feel more confident! Thank you!
Stuart

The way we were asked to rate each other worked really well and helped us to get the most out of the role play. Lots of role play that was good. However, I found doing such long hours over 2 days was really difficult and would have preferred 3 shorter days.

Real life situations helped to put the skills into context.
Sharon

Really enjoyed the scenarios.

There were many opportunities to practise skills in a variety of situations which, although daunting initially, were incredibly effective in embedding skills.

Good course content and delivered well but feel the course would be better to be spread over 3 shorter days as it can be harder to concentrate towards the end of the two long days.

Cara is an excellent instructor who made difficult first aid scenarios easier to manage and cope with. I feel more confident now with good emergency first aid procedures and how to see them through.

Very good course. Instructor (Cara) was brilliant. Very confident and easy to talk to. Also Cara made everything very clear. No misunderstandings.

Very well done, Cara is very very good at what she does, and (has) a very strong approach and understanding, to make you feel comfortable, in all aspects of the course.

The training was enjoyable and well delivered, and I feel quite confident about tackling any first aid situation.

I really enjoyed the course and thought Cara is a credit to her field of work.

She is passionate and knowledgeable which made learning easy.
