Surrey First Aid Training Reviews

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.

Very good course. A section on dressings would have been useful as this has been a useful part of previous courses that I have attended, and is usually a helpful reminder when one hasn't used certain dressings over the three years.

Very informative. Trainer very good at explaining and giving information

Really interesting and fun way of learning. Understood all what Brendan said. Really pleased I did it.

Really informative

PowerPoint was in a confusing order. Trainers were very down to earth and relatable.

The course was very practical with lots of visual aids and anecdotes to help my learning. The trainer was bubbly and was able to keep my attention throughout, also very knowledgeable. The practical assessments were great and helped with my learning.

Course was enjoyable and interactive, Content was good. Eddie was a great tutor and kept the energy going throughout. Really patient and great answers to questions. The small group was great. (3 pax) Lack of takeaway course material. Needs a workbook or digital pdf, it’s a lot to take in and you can’t listen when you’re writing notes.
