Rigorous, Accommodating, and Expert-Led

The training provided by St John Ambulance (Greenleys) was nothing short of exceptional.

Having a total of 5 different specialists leading specific aspects of the course made for a rigorous, comprehensive, and transformative environment. It was a truly memorable experience that tapped into my innate educative faculty.

For many years, a special health challenge had discouraged me from undertaking this type of training. However, the tutors were incredibly accommodating and cooperative. Thanks to their steadfast support, I managed to participate, fully, in every lecture and every practical activity—thereby absorbing every learning outcome and successfully pass the course.

Moreover, I have now formulated a holistic strategy to mitigate my health circumstances for future refresher courses.

My education has certainly not ended here; I have walked away from this experience with a real, newfound, interest in First Aid.

I cannot recommend St John Ambulance highly enough.

Great course and trainer

Margaret was an absolutely incredible trainer. I left feeling very informed. Although it is a heavy course with tricky topics she made learning easy and relatable. The course itself is very thorough and a very good overview of the day to day. I have already had to use some of the skills I acquired over the 3 days and I felt confident and able to do so!

Fantastic trainer (Ken)

Firstly I would like to give huge credit to Ken our trainer, he kept the 3 days engaging with a mixture of practical, theory, and fun learning methods.

The course itself covers everything you need to get an understanding of what’s required for workplace health and safety. I have left the course confident I can help a colleague or member of the public in an emergency situation.
