Thanks Lara. Personally I’ve not had so much fun on a training course for quite a while….so to get the certificate is a bonus!

Thank you very much for your expert tutoring.

Colin

Thank you for running the course, it was really good to update again and speak with people from different sports.

I spoke to Jose, on the way out from the course and he said he had done a course in Spain but this one was a much better course and he enjoyed it and understood it more! Thought you might like to hear this.

I chose the Integrated National Pool Lifeguard with First Aid at Work and AED course offered by the University of Gloucestershire as it is great value for money for the qualifications available. My aim was to use the qualification to boost my CV for getting a job over the summer as well as during my time at uni and beyond. I really enjoyed the course, although there is a lot of information to learn within a week, the way Lara (Trainer) worked through the days made it easier for information to be taken on board. The mix of class and pool sessions each day really helped, and there was time for us to practice anything we were unsure of throughout the week so we were all confident for the assessments. A week and a half after passing the course I was offered a job as a lifeguard at my local Lido and Leisure centre. I would highly recommend this course as Lara was extremely helpful throughout, making sure everyone understood and could do all that we went through.

Alicia Pigram

I would just like to say a big thank for a very informative and fun session!

KJ Adebayo
Degreeplus Adviser

I just wanted to formally thank you for delivering the First Aid sessions to our new Strength & Conditioning students. The feedback from them has been excellent and indicates not only that they felt that the sessions had some meaningful value to both their studies and in everyday life, but that they were also enjoyable and engaging.

Matt Cole

Thank you to both you and Ed for a very informative and enjoyable day.

Cotteswold House Dental Practice

Your course was excellent and with your sense of humour made it much easier to concentrate and absorb the serious work.

Gill James

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the EFAW training sessions in November, they were really interesting and very helpful (and incredibly fun as well!). It’s certainly been useful already!

Mel Higgins
Degreeplus Adviser

Lara is an excellent trainer. Incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and supportive trainer. I have attended several courses, refreshers and updates with Lara over the last few years and all have been at a very high standard. Highly recommended!

Yvonne Hopkinson

A lovely person and fantastic teacher with huge experience in First Aid Training.

Gary Mclean

Excellent trainer, highly experienced and knowledgeable

Mark Bonson

I highly recommend Lara, she is an excellent and very experienced first aid trainer.

Ange Puffett

The First Aid at Work course was excellent. Lara’s friendly and relaxed training style allows you to test your own skills without the fear of failing. She has lots of real examples to contextualise what is being taught and you come away feeling empowered to help others. Great value and fun.

Ed Barker

I’m surprised it was only your 4th delivery of this, you are clearly comfortable with the subject. It was a positive dynamic across the group.

Thanks for the very kind comments, praise from a professional like yourself isn’t something I take lightly. I’m having a chat with Daz on Monday to see if I can add anything to the team. Either way I aim to roll out the three courses to ad wide an audience as possible. I have a couple of local charities I work with who I can hopefully get some practice with without commercial pressures. Thanks again, a pleasure meeting you and learning from your polished approach. Have a great weekend.
