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.

Eddie was very clear, efficient, effective and entertaining. Made a sometimes difficult subject very easy and approachable

Eddie was fantastic! We all thoroughly enjoyed the course - he made it enjoyable as well as highly informative and very thorough. We would definitely recommend him and would love to have him back when we need to train any further staff. Please pass on our thanks to him.

Andy was super friendly and very adaptable and made the day enjoyable overall.

Outstanding delivery of the course. Thorough explanation of physiology behind the actions and this helped to totally understand what would the First Aider would need to do. I am much better equipped following this course than from previous ones. Highly engaging throughout the day.

Very informative. Good training.

A thorough and precise course content of the general principles of what we need to know/do in an emergency FA situation

I really enjoyed today’s course. Eddie made the course engaging (even during Covid) and enjoyable. Thank you eddie

Ive enjoyed this course very much, the trainer was very knowledgable and made me comfortable as it was my first time. I learnt a lot on this course, CPR was the highlight of the day. Thank you
