Outside venue is required if advertised as a forest school first aid course

A good first aid course. However, frustrating that the course was not in an outdoor setting. However, I really appreciated that Danny did manage to get us outside on the grass verge as much as possible for scenarios. It would be beneficial if the trainer has had some experience of Forest School settings prior to delivering the training to.fully understand the challenges faced. Danny was very accomodating and interesting and pleased he adapted where possible to get us a but outside.

Overall it was good, but it could have been condensed to a 1 day refresher. The course should be more updated, including people of different ethnicities showing different signs (pale, ashy, include photos). Also stroke symptoms for men and women. Generally more outdoor scenarios since it's an outdoor course.

Bramley,

Good range of topics covered relevant to what we need as forest school leaders. Good amount of practical scenarios to practice skills. Venue not great - facilities weren’t great and no woodland to practice scenarios in the same environment that we are working in.

Bramley,

Since it is forest school first aid, it would be good to have done the training in woodland rather than indoors.

Bramley,

Venue was awful. Considering the cost of the course. No heating, no toilet roll and dirty hand towels. Danny had to bring in a heater for the Sunday and thankfully provided a toilet roll. There’s no woodland so the forest school element doesn’t come across as well either. Open field isn’t realistic to our experiences. It would also be helpful to spread the course over two Saturdays instead of both Saturday and Sunday due to working a full working week before and after the course. Midweek doesn’t work so is helpful you offer this as a solution. Danny was good though and have no complaints regarding him.
Response : Thank you for providing this valuable feedback. I have spoken with the venue supplier to draw their urgent attention to this matter so that they ensure the venue is clean and warm moving forward. I apologise for any disappointment this may have caused. We take feedback very seriously and will look to source an alternative venue with adequate outside space if possible.

Bramley,

Course content fantastic, instructor was brilliant, venue needed a more woodland surroundings for real setting of a forest school and the building was freezing , Instructor did bring an extra radiator on 2nd day .

Location could be better as in it could be an actual forest to train in but it was still good.
