Reviews
What our Newcastle learners say
The online and practical sessions were excellent and helped me keep my skills up-to-date. I have helped hundreds of people over the last 28 years and covered most of the medical conditions/situations on the course. I would recommend first aid and AED training to everyone.

Great course! Informative and practical without being overstimulating with unhelpful information. Hopefully I won't need to use it but feel much more confident now should a situation arise.

Very enjoyable and educative. I wrote this experience on my CV as soon as I got home and I now feel confident in performing first aid.

I recently took the Emergency First Aid at Work Course, and it was an excellent training experience. The trainers were knowledgeable and provided practical scenarios that made learning both fun and effective. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn essential first aid skills.
