Kerry delivered a well-structured and thorough course, with lots of practice and discussion around each area of first aid. The facilities are first class and the course was delivered at an ideal pace for all students. The daily lunch provided was also great!
I would thoroughly recommend Shepherds H & S for your training needs.
