 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an excellent course, delivered in a relaxed but informative way. I learned a lot and also refreshed my knowledge on many aspects of Emergency First Aid. I especially found the practical exercises really helpful - as well as the chance to ask loads of questions! Saul clearly has so much experience in his field and shared his knowledge with us brilliantly, making us all feel comfortable and engaged throughout. Thanks Saul for giving me renewed confidence in my emergency first aid skills. I would highly recommend this course!
