Paediatric First Aid
Myself and my husband were updating our Paediatric first aid course last week at the Solaris Centre Blackpool as foster carers. The course was delivered over three days by Maggie, we had recently had a very scary experience with a baby in our care and had to perform life saving CPR so the course instantly brought out some emotions that we didn’t know were there. Maggie instantly picked up on this and kept a check on us throughout. She was absolutely brilliant in the way she delivered the course and we feel much more equipped and knowledgeable to deliver first aid than we ever have before. She was professional, incredibly knowledgeable and made the course fun and enjoyable. On the final day a gentleman in the cafe had a cardiac arrest and Maggie proved just how amazing she was and put her knowledge and skills to instant use performing her first ever life saving CPR and guiding us all in helping too, I’m sure it’s not a day of a first aid course that she wants to repeat but totally proved she’s doing exactly what she’s brilliant at doing. Well done Maggie keep doing what your doing your a credit to the First Aid Academy and you should be extremely proud of yourself
by Jenny CameronExcellent 2 day Outdoor First Aid Course
Excellent 2 day Outdoor First Aid course run through my work. Lots of scenarios to build confidence and provoke discussion. Deborah, our trainer, was fantastic, very experienced and pragmatic. I felt confident in dealing with an incident the very next morning.

The training course was delivered by First Aid Academy
The training course was delivered by Maggie magnificently she was first class throughout. Even when we had our own medical emergency she stayed fully focus and coached us throughout it. I would fully recommend anyone thinking of doing this to take this course and enjoy it cause we certainly did. Thank you Maggie you were amazing
by Alex Cameron
An excellent course delivered by Maggie. She is extremely knowledgeable and provided great answers to all questions, regularly highlighting what was most relevant for our individual areas of work. Her delivery kept the group engaged and attentive, even though the course covers an amazing amount of information in a short, intense period. Immensely valuable theory and practical sessions – thank you First Aid Academy!
I really enjoyed this training
I really enjoyed this training, it was really engaging and interesting. Maggie is a great teacher and I’d recommend this to everyone! I’ve been to some really boring 2 day trainings before and this was not one of them, I didn’t zone out or feel bored at all and feel like I retained what I learned.

Highly recommended!
Another Outdoor First Aid course expertly delivered by Maggie from First Aid Academy. This was my fourth time with this company, but always new things to learn. Maggie was professional & engaging throughout, happy to answer any question, & plenty of laughs were had even though this is a serious subject. The outdoor practical parts are particularly useful in consolidating what has been learnt. Thank you, again!

Fantastic Outdoor First Aid course
I’ve done the Outdoor First Aid four times with these guys and each time I learn new things. Very flexible approach; willing to expand and utilise their vast experiences. The formal aspects, like the test and practical were vigorous but done in a friendly and relaxed manner.

Alan was really engaging and kept the course interesting. I have ADHD and my lack of focus can be really detrimental to my learning but I felt really interested and focused throughout the whole session. I also had some physical health problems and Alan made little adjustments so that I wouldn’t be in pain which was so helpful. I went into the course feeling worried I wouldn’t be able to focus mentally or complete it physically and I left feeling really positive. I learnt a lot, feel much more confident and would really recommend!

Great course, this the first place you should go to for a first aid course. Alan ( tutor) was helpful with easy to understand answers to any questions asked.

Practical and hands on training
Practical and hands on training, very effective way of teaching in that you’re more likely to remember what you’ve learned when applied to a real life scenario. The theory side was delivered effectively and there was plenty of scope to ask questions . Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Remembering the lifesaving essentials
If a first aid course involves a lot of theory and little practice, it is soon forgotten and the trainee does not feel like a qualified First Aider. This one is excellent in that it focuses on the lifesaving essentials (including ongoing danger to oneself and others nearby!) and gives saturation practice in CPR and the use of a defib machine. Now I feel like if I come across anyone having a doze in the sunshine, they’d better wake up smartly when I start checking them out . .
