The training provided meant a lady who has been in hospital for 2 years can now go home in supported accommodation close to her family. This is a fantastic outcome and we are looking forward to being a part of her journey. We very much enjoyed the tracheostomy training session and look forward to utilising First Aid Pro in future!

The venue itself was lovely and conducive to training. All necessary practical equipment was provided. The trainer was well-versed in the content and kept the group engaged with a great sense of humour. My only critique is the pacing of the final training module. While ending early was convenient for my commute, it meant the section on completing reporting forms was cut too short. I left feeling I lacked a thorough understanding of that specific paperwork.Posted on Google![]()

Excellent course. The online units are short and sharp and work well if you print the pdf notes and work through them together. Online exam was good.
