Cynthia Creighton2024-08-28Super knowledgable training, passionate trainer and supportive environment. I was that guy who asked all the questions, but I learned so much and they encouraged the engagement. Learnt heaps! Thank you
Michelle Couch2024-08-01Great quality information presented in a hands on group setting. I feel confident to perform First Aid if required. I really appreciate being able to do the online portion before the practical too.
Mel2024-07-31Amazing experience, was really enjoyable. We learnt SO much and good relevant first aid material. Thank you!
Tristen Pedan2024-07-27This course was highly informative and practical. It was ideal as a refresher to previously learnt first aid and CPR skills or as a first time introduction to first aid and CPR. The course instructor was knowledgeable and engaging. I left the course feeling like I would be able to help someone if the situation called for it. The online pre-course assessment was easy to navigate and exceptionally well-written. I found the course material easy to understand and learn from. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning first aid and CPR whether it is for work purposes or self-improvement.
Priya Whitford2024-07-18I enjoy The First Ade Course and see you next year. Thank you for teaching me the course.
Blair Leak2024-05-22Great course,great teacher, always informative, helpful.
Clare Garner2024-05-13Senarios that are given are very helpful to understand why and how proceedures/actions need to be performed. There is a lot of information, that sends my brain into a spin at times, but I feel confident I am competent to act if needed.
Trevor Bird2024-05-10We'll set up course, this is why i go back for all my re-sits when dates come due
Personal Luke Oliver2024-03-27This is a superb course. I learned so much today. The tutor is engaging throughout, and well versed in not just the physiology but the psychology of First Aid, with a realm of practical approaches to real-world scenarios. Willing and able to problem solve for our industry-specific scenarios. Can't recommend highly enough. Will be back for CPR update next year (and the year after) then a full update in three years.
