I did a first aid at work course level 3 with Will 4. Adventure and it was excellent. Very practical course meaning the skills you learn really stick in your mind should any event occur. Professional and friendly too!Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend their training! Will was excellent and made the day fun and very memorable! We had a lot to learn in 1 day and it was delivered in a clever way so we won't forget. Very useful day and I fee much more confident if I ever had to help someone in an emergency. Thanks very much.Posted on Google![]()

I would highly recommend the two-day Outdoor First Aid course. Although the content is to be taken seriously, Stu made it engaging, enjoyable and memorable throughout. The outdoor practical scenarios put everything we learnt in the classroom into practice and massively built my confidence on how to handle real life situations. A brilliant course from start to finish - I’ll definitely be back!Posted on Google![]()

Will has an incredible wealth of knowledge and first hand experience about Outdoor First Aid which makes for a truly indepth-and comprehensive 3-day course. Stretching our minds further than the UK into what it would take for us to be prepared in our over-seas outdoor adventures. With a variation of teaching methods, and practical hands on tasks, we were taken into scenaries where we constantly questioned our strategies and techniques in delivering that immediate care. Whether it's stuck at altitude in the Himalayas, broken femurs in the Highlands, anaphaltic shock offshore, or simply a tweaked ankle in your local park; this course will teach you how to handle a casualty outdoors. Keeping them safe, warm, and alive. I highly recommend this course.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
