You Don’t Need to Be a Paramedic to Save Someone’s Life

Restart a Heart Day, 16th October each year, is a timely reminder. Every year, around 30,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest outside of hospital in the UK. Fewer than one in ten survive. Not because the treatment doesn’t exist but because, in most cases, nobody nearby knew what to do. That’s not a medical problem. It’s a training problem. And it’s one we can fix.

His realistic and down to earth approach, based on “on the job” experience was particularly helpful. I would certainly recommend Robert for anyone considering first aid training

Robert is a strong, confident trainer. The way his courses are run, makes them very interesting and we were kept engaged all times. I highly recommend Robert for any first aid training courses.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently completed a First Aid course with Robert, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Robert was professional, knowledgeable, and made the training engaging and easy to understand. He explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure everyone felt confident with the practical skills.

My staff and I all came away feeling much better prepared to deal with first aid situations. The course was well organised, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish.

I would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for high-quality first aid training. Thank you for delivering such an excellent course!

Robert has a way to make what could be such a hard hitting and difficult subject an enjoyable, quality, learning experience. This isn’t any old boring training course which makes it incredible value for money!

When he's delivering a course, he creates an excellent safe space for learning, especially important for courses like "Mental health first aider" which can be quite emotionally intense.

Absolutely recommend him!
