  • From initial contact, to course delivery, to receiving the certificates, Paul and AP First aid training have been brilliant. Highly efficient, friendly and a great day of education. super competitively priced too! Highly recommended ??

  • This course has increased my confidence and ability to deal effectively with First aid incidents. Practical examples and scenarios enabled this to be effective yet fun !

  • The training Paul delivered to us was very practical. His experience as a Paramedic gave the course real brevity and has given me the confidence to be able to use my new skills if needed. This has been the most useful training course I have been on in 25 years of working with children. Practical, realistic but most of all enjoyable. it has taken the fear out of First Aid for me.

  • Dear Paul Thank you so much for the last couple of days. A brilliant course. Dynamic, informative, hands on, I felt tested!!

  • Excellent training from Paul a few weeks ago, very easy to understand, very patient with questions and I truly believe this should be mandatory for everyone to learn. Thank you, I would highly recommend.

  • Thank you Paul for an excellent level 2 course last month. Your enthusiasm and approach made it a relaxed and engaging evening; unthreatening for the first timers and an enjoyable refresher for those needing an annual update. I will definitely recommend your training to colleagues.

  • A big thanks to Paul at AP First Aid Training. Hawkins Insulation sent three of our men on an Emergency First Aid at Work course last week and all really enjoyed the day. All of them came away with a bit more knowledge and a lot more confidence in what to do in an emergency. Thanks from everyone at Hawkins Insulation Ltd.

  • I really enjoyed the first aid in the workplace training with Paul. I learnt a lot and feel that I would be able to get involved and help in a situation now rather than hope someone else would know what to do. It covered everything from how to deal with choking to using a defibrillator. Everyone should attend one of these courses.

  • Thanks Paul for the great Paediatric First Aid training this week. The training was really good and having your enthusiasm and realistic approach made the practical practice a lot more relaxed. I would highly recommend you.

  • Thanks Paul for the brilliant Paediatric first aid training this week. I learned so much and came away feeling really confident. It was great how you made the course really fun and yet we still learned so much. Would highly recommend.

  • I found that Paul created such a relaxed atmosphere, he was an excellent instructor. Clear, knowledgeable and encouraging! The learning resources and delivery of knowledge was great. I have a good understanding of first aid now and I am confident to put into practice what I learned.

  • I've completed several first aid courses over the years but this one has definitely been the best. Paul was very good and clearly very knowledgeable. The presentation and practicals were really good and very informative. I thought this was an excellent course and would definitely recommend to others.
