A comment from one of last year’s participants. “That was the best first aid course I have ever done. I can't rate it enough. The practical side was superb. I had already done the St. Johns Ambulance course as I did not want to coach without some knowledge of first aid, but this course was far superior. Loved it. Great value too”.
