Remote Outdoor First Aid Reviews

A really interesting and informative course that made us think and plan for a range of eventualities. Clearly delivered. Effective training at the right pace with lots of practical opportunities as well as a lot of theory. Really enjoyed the course. I hope I never have to use it!

Excellent content and pace from a very experienced medical professional. Good blend of practical and theory. Derek kept us engaged from the start.

A good and informative course, well led and delivered at a good pace. The practical element was very useful and all questions were answered fully by Derek. Very pleased with the content and the training overall.

Brendan was brilliant. I was dreading the weekend thinking it will boring and that I'd be in a room full of people who would rather be anywhere else. In the end I was sad to leave. Brendon was a shining example of a the type of person that we should all aspire to be. He was funny, honest, humble, relatable and an all round good egg, and his personal experience made the course relevant and come to life. He was really great. It was also fun to hang out with such a mixed bunch of interesting people all with quite an exciting reason for being there. The venue was also lovely.

Trainer (Brendan) was very good. Since everyone was already familiar with content and re-qualifying he quickly covered the essentials making sure to see all of us all individually and successfully perform. Drew out individual candidates' personal experiences (e.g. being on receiving end of being injected with an epi pen/dealing with hypothermia etc) and led discussions on these to the benefit of the whole group. Was happy to go into deeper depth on topics of interest e.g. using climber's ropes to make a stretcher instead of a tarp or bivvy bag and altitude sickness. Only criticism is that whilst the teaching was done outdoors the available ground was very benign i.e. gently sloping lawn or flat ground with a few minor tree roots - so no opportunity to practice stabilising a casualty on steep or very uneven ground.

Eddie was a brilliant trainer. Out of 3 courses so far, the best First Aid training I have done yet. He made the course really enjoyable and really interesting. After not looking forward to it at all, I almost felt a little sad to leave!! Thankyou Eddie. A really informative and fun time spent learning. First Class with no doubt at all. Karen Miller

Very good course very in depth

Eddie was absolutely fantastic, very COVID safe, very knowledgeable and knew his stuff. Thank you!

Excellent trainer, very knowledgeable, and made the course a joy.. An unexpected pleasure.

Brendan is a very knowledgeable tutor with a friendly and approachable style, bringing humour and lightness to otherwise quite heavy learning material. Having completed this course I feel much more confident that I will be able to step into emergency situations and provide a competent first response. I would recommend this course.
