Dean was a fantastic teacher

Dean was a fantastic teacher. He kept the course interesting and easy to understand. He was empathetic whilst dealing with heavy topics, but managed to keep the course light and even funny at times. Would absolutely recommend! As someone with no previous experience of first aid, I feel confident with the basics now!

The course was delivered in a professional and relaxed manner. The instructor was very knowledgeably about the subject, the balance between power point and hands on was just right. Would recommend this course.

John was great, knowledgeable. He taught us everything we needed and then some more while not making it feel like you were sat in a classroom!

Only thing to mention, is maybe give us a cooler room!
