    Here's what students have said about the course:
         I liked the combination of theory/talk backed up with the practical. The role plays throughout and video helped for all information to go in.
    A very well structured and presented course, enjoyed the role play
    Fantastic and informative course that made previous first aid courses undertaken elsewhere seem unorganised and unclear.
