| 2010-07-15 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course covered good breadth and depth - a hard balance but done well. Pete was very good he 'de-cluttered' the 'cupboard' of previous FA courses.

| 2010-06-24 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Another thoroughly enjoyable course, very relevant to my area of work - the outdoors.

| 2010-06-24 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Pete is an enthusiastic tutor who provided a varied and interactive learning experience. I have done about 12 first aid courses in the last 30 years. This was definitely in the top 2 of those. I found it easy to learn from Pete and valued his experience and the way in which he was always able to answer my questions. I felt challenged, though in a supportive and fun atmosphere. Testimonial from John Wright http://www.lakedistrictadventures.co.uk |

| 2010-03-29 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A number of us took part in an excellent Outdoor First Aid course at our climbing hut over the weekend. We learned about the theory and principles of First Aid which can be applied in everyday situations such as in the workplace, pub and at the local Co-op as well as in emergencies on the hill and at the crag, and we had the opportunity to participate in hands-on responses to various scenarios. If you haven't done a similar course and have the opportunity to do so, I recommend it highly. Testimonial from Paul Russell http://www.oxfordmc.org.uk/ |
| 2010-03-29 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Before taking the course I was apprehensive about whether I would feel able to put what I was about to learn into practice into a real-life situation. I was impressed by the way Pete took the fear out first aid - fear of getting it wrong, fear of going 'blank' and fear of having the confidence to act in an emergency situation. The hands-on responses to various scenarios that we practised were extremely useful. Testimonial from Ingrid Ferguson |
| 2010-03-18 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A brilliant 2 days.

| 2010-03-18 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A well constructed course that built up from 1 session to the next. Flow of information was kept tight whilst allowing particpants views. Enjoyable and instructive. Testimonial from Philip Kendrick |
| 2010-03-17 | Emergency First Aid at Work | Course was led superbly, with all questions very well answered. A bit more practice always helps info sink in better. I would highly recommend it! Thank you so much, Peter Rebecca Mitchell Testimonial from Rebecca L Mitchell |
| 2010-03-12 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I really enjoyed the Outdoor First Aid course,at Staveley, it was really practical and hands on giving me the confidence to deal with any incidents that could occur, when working with groups of young people, in the outdoors. The scenarios were particularly useful as these were similar to the incidnts you could have to deal with for real. I feel confident I could now deal with most emergencies, using the skills and techniques so excellently delivered by Pete Cunningham. His delivery and teaching style was superb and just right for people who work in the outdoors. Thank you very much for making the course so interesting. Testimonial from Neil Morris |
| 2010-03-03 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The way in which the course was taught was far better than some others due to the greater level of practical activities which help you to feel more confident in what you are doing Testimonial from Hannah Hunt |

| 2010-02-28 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I felt that there could have been more practicals in between the talks on the first day. However, overall this is still the best first aid course I have been on as the outdoor setting provides a certain reality to the situation that first aid courses focused entirely inside lack. Testimonial from Emma Rowley |
| 2010-02-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Much nicer experience than I was expecting. I enjoyed it. The learning atmosphere was excellent and while I was much less experienced than many of the participants I was never made to feel inadequate or less useful. Thanks, Pete. Testimonial from Frances Bell |
| 2010-02-24 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I found it difficult to find a good outdoor first aid course but Active Aid have succeeded. Pete is an excellent training instructor made a serious subject both interesting and entertaining - a good way for trainees to absorb and retain information. The balance between audio/visual and practical sessions was spot on. "Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, let me do it and I will understand"; In that respect, given the absence of real casualties (thankfully), the course was a complete success. Thank-you. Testimonial from Robert Collyer |
| 2010-02-19 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A well-hosted and delivered course, at a great venue. Facilities indoors and out perfect, food spot-on. The material was relevant and a good sense of what is realistically practical in a first aid situation was given. Testimonial from Stuart Halford |
| 2010-02-14 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Loads of practical sessions were good for the learning process and added interest to the course. Very informative, this has been the best 1st Aid course i have attended. Thanks Pete Testimonial from Mark Eddy http://www.mountain-journeys.co.uk |

| 2010-02-11 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Great course, well presented, relevant and memorable. Absolutely 1st rate and worth the slightly confusing booking process, which with all due credit Peter helped make sure I got a place when I messed up. Testimonial from Jonathan Ritson |
| 2010-02-11 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Well run course delivered very clearly with some great humour which made you feel more relaxed and even some snip-its of trivia thrown in as well!Great job Peter and Ian 5 stars no complaints will highly recommend,Oh and the best biscuits in the lakes!

| 2010-01-20 | Paediatric 12 hour course | The course was very useful, full of common sense and practical sessions and ideas. There was plenty of time for additional concerns to be shared, aired and resovled.I felt that we learnt & consolidated more due to continual assessment rather than trying to memorize satisitcs & facts for a test at the end. Thank you Testimonial from Pam Brook |
| 2009-12-07 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Excellent course. Trainer was very informative and delivered in a professional and easy manner! Questions were answered continuously, thoroughly and further advice given where needed. Constant review of personal performance was excellent and made the learning process alot easier. It was also excellent to have a trainer who was experienced in the outdoor environment and could deliver the course to that specific environment. Testimonial from Edward Pugh |
| 2009-12-07 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I thought the course was excellent. Pete was a fantastic teacher; everything was thoroughly explained including demonstrations. The course structure was well organised with every lesson being reinforced and built upon as we moved through the course content. Pete was well experienced, able to answer all my annoying questions whilst ensuring we didn't go too far off track and was able to give his own experiences to support the treatment. The venue was excellent, good classroom and great food. A very well organised and enjoyable course. Testimonial from Nicky Whitley |
| 2009-11-23 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Fantastic corse and valuable learning curve for myself, will go on to do more. The teaching method was well designed allowing students to participate in a way that was fun, certainly not boring! Thank you Pete & Pete I now feel more confident to assist if ever the need arises. Testimonial from Dawn Cooney |

| 2009-10-13 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | An enjoyable and informative course run by a very good, approchable and knowledgable trainer. Having attended numerous similar courses in the last 20 years this was by far the best I experiance I have had. I really enjoyed the two days and have learnt a great deal of theory and skills that I feel confident I could put into practice if the need ever arose. I will recommend to others without hesitation and would definatly attend more of your courses. Testimonial from Michael Coates http://www.qualityeventproducts.co.uk |
| 2009-10-09 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | very enjoyable course. the 2 days passed quickly and I learned a lot. Testimonial from Peter Ross |

With mid morning and mid afternoon coffee breaks and an inclusive bar meal this course was a real pleasure. Thankyou Peter. Testimonial from Stephen Smith |

| 2009-09-24 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Great course, easy parking, brilliant food, good fellow students, will come again. Testimonial from Bob Henson |
| 2009-09-10 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course was brilliant! It was really well organised and had lots of practical exercises involved in it, which I particularly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend it and would like to do another one with Active Aid in the future. Testimonial from Helen Jeffs |
| 2009-09-03 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I had high expectations of the course and of the instructor, and I was not disappointed. Pete delivered a superb course, and kept me engaged even when I felt I was tiring. We had good fun outdoors and that's always the best way to learn. It feels good to have updated my skills. I will definitely go with Adventure Learning again, and recommend it highly. Testimonial from Joanne Wulf |
| 2009-08-28 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | This is a well-planned, practical course, led by an instructor with huge experience. Nearly every aspect is 'hands on', often outdoors and in the rain. Every committed walker and mountaineer should do it. Testimonial from Mark Lambert |
| 2009-08-26 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I found the course extremely useful for me and have learnt so many new things that I can apply to my career. Learning the emergency procedure theory and having it all coming together during the practical outdoor sessions was brilliant - the instructor was very informative and fluid with everything throughout. 10/10! Testimonial from Stephen Sidlo http://www.stephensidlo.com |
| 2009-08-26 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I was prompted to seek first aid training after having had to call Mountain Rescue while out with friends. Fell-walking is not a risk-free pastime and some basic first aid knowledge is well worth having. This course was perfect for my needs: there was continuous reinforcement of the basics, building up to team problem-solving in an outdoor setting. I feel better prepared to deal with a future emergency. Testimonial from Andrew Horner |
| 2009-08-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | An excellently organised course with an enthusiastic and helpful trainer. I particularly enjoyed the amount of practical work and reinforcement aspect to the sessions. Left feeling confident that I could help deal with any incident. Will certainly be back to renew. Testimonial from Wayne Enstone |
| 2009-08-11 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Excellent course, well tailored to the needs of the participants. Testimonial from Tony McKenzie http://www.key-change.net |
| 2009-08-10 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Active Aid provided one of the best first aid courses I've had the pleasure of attending over a coaching career of 25 years. I found the balance of presentation and practical to be just right, and the delivery excellent. Active Aid also successfully avoided the usual "siester effect" in the afternoons - high praise indeed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Active Aid to friends and colleagues, and will Actively do this in the future! Testimonial from David Larkin |
| 2009-08-07 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Would have liked a little more info before the course: in particular wanted to double-check with someone that it was a suitable course for me working towards ML (which it was)but was unable to speak to anyone who knew. That said, had a great time and couldn't fault trainer, content, venue or value for money so many thanks! Testimonial from Alison McKay |
| 2009-08-06 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A very enjoyable and practical course which I will be recommending to my colleagues. Testimonial from David William Kerrison |
| 2009-08-05 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Pete - great training course 100% interactive and I learnt masses and felt very supported by you and the other participants.Would recommend Adventure Learning to others. Only negative was that the anecdotes got a bit much after a while, so may be worth asking students who have obviously done 1st aid before to share some of their experiences in the group. That apart it was great. See you in 3 years! Sal Cawley Testimonial from Sally Cawley http://www.walksforwomenlakedistrict.co.uk |
| 2009-07-27 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Best first aid course that I have been on, none of the course was boring. First aid courses are usually boring! Great how it was related to the outdoors. Great venue too, pub lunch and beer! Testimonial from Tom Shaw |
| 2009-07-15 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Well-organised with lots of practical activities to practise first aid. Testimonial from David Arkell |
| 2009-07-09 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I really enjoyed the course. Well structured and clear delivery. Hands-on approach helped develop skills and raise confidence quickly. Testimonial from Rhys Griffiths |
| 2009-07-08 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Great course, very practical and relevant, great instruction and the food wasn't bad either! Testimonial from Anne-Marie Nuttall |
| 2009-07-06 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | This course was very interesting and fun, I would definitely come back to Pete for more first aid courses. Testimonial from Ella Lindsay |
| 2009-06-29 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Very good course Knowledgable and friendly instuctor Great loction... Ideal for lunch, coffee etc. Testimonial from Scott Thwaites |
| 2009-06-16 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | This was the second time I have done a course with Pete and I will be back in 3 years time! The mixture of theory and realistic practical, un-pressured environment and working with like minded people made it great learning environment. Testimonial from Ian Wilson http://www.lakesdj.co.uk |
| 2009-06-12 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The best first-aid course that I have been on and exceptional biscuits too. Testimonial from Simon Yates http://www.mountaindream.co.uk |
| 2009-06-12 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | An enjoyable and worthwhile 2 day programme that I found very useful to update & improve my previous knowledge & 1st Aid qualifications. I thought Pete created a very good 'learning' environment throughout the programme. Many thanks Paul Testimonial from Paul Bate |
| 2009-05-15 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A very practical course with plenty of opportunities to share ideas and to practice. Testimonial from Peter Maxwell http://www.pine-croft.co.uk |
| 2009-05-01 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | If I am ever unlucky enough to find myself a casualty "on the hill" I hope I am discovered by a graduate of this course. Testimonial from Ian Currer http://www.northern-paragliding.com |
| 2009-04-30 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I thought the course was very well run and enjoyable to attend. The course was well adapted to cover the outdoor scenarios many of us (all students worked in the outdoors) would face. The outside practical element was especially useful, and if anything, more of this would be beneficial as these are the conditions we would be working in, rather than a nice flat floor in a pub. Testimonial from Simon Oakley |
| 2009-04-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Best first aid course I've attended. Thank you Testimonial from Alison Bembridge |
| 2009-04-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Excellent course. Great balance between practical and theory. Really good venue with good lunch on both days. probably the best first aid course I've ever done. Thanks Pete for a really good couple of days. Testimonial from David Hendrickse http://www.davidhendrickse.co.uk |
| 2009-04-06 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Thoroughly enjoyed the hands on approach. One of the best 1st Aid courses I have attended in a long time. Pete's delivery of starting at the beginning each time meant that the information was being continuously reinforced. Testimonial from Jane Newton |
| 2009-03-09 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Among the many F.A. courses I have attended this was one of the best. Informative, well presented, enjoyable. Testimonial from Rod Fitzpatrick |
| 2009-03-03 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | An absolutley cracking course! Really good fun, massivley helpful and still realistic. Testimonial from Callum Stone http://www.caregphotography.wordpress.com |
| 2009-03-03 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A well delivered course full of relevant facts and lots of opportunities to practise what you had learnt and to get it right!! Testimonial from Sarah Lawrence |
| 2009-02-28 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | great, and good to come back for a 2nd time, which shows that I think what you are doing is good, I've done BASP, and REC, among others, but this suits, and is good. and the venue works very well, giving good accom as well, which works very well thanks, see you again when the renewal comes up Testimonial from Chris Floyd http://www.dofelegend.co.uk |
| 2009-02-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The coarse was well tailored to towards outdoor and sports professionals (which the trainees all were). The trainer's background knowledge and experience made him able to answer all our questions thoroughly. The delivery was exemplary. I feel I have substantially increased confidence for delivering first aid. Testimonial from Adam Milward http://www.adammilward.co.uk |
| 2009-02-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Thanks for another great course Testimonial from Stuart Wagstaff http://www.nationalkayakschool.com |
| 2009-01-29 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course was run in a very practical, hands on way. I certainly think this will enable me to retain and build on the excellent content and delivery ...... and it was good fun ! Testimonial from Glenn Bridge |
| 2009-01-26 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A great couple of days really nailing some basic skills. Very useful and practical scenarios were carried out over the 2 days which really helped in learning the sequence of dealing with a variety of situations. The trainer had an effective style which created a good environment to learn Testimonial from Janet Wilkinson |
| 2009-01-20 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A good experience all round. I have been doing this Level of First aid course every 3 Years since 1998. This was one of the best, I came away fealing that i had learned a lot more than I expected to. Thanks Very Much. Testimonial from David Keene |
| 2009-01-16 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Very good course, thanks Pete. Just the right mix of theory and practical work. Testimonial from Michael Palk |
| 2009-01-15 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Great course, great tutor, great venue. Testimonial from Martin Lucas |
| 2009-01-14 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | This was a really enjoyable and useful course. Many thanks. Testimonial from Janine Cowan |
| 2009-01-13 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Thanks for a very helpful two day course, I will certainly feel more confident and I hope will be more competent, dealing with first aid incidents outside. Testimonial from Fleur Spore |
| 2009-01-13 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I do feel more ready to approach different situations able to look at the circumstances and have a clearer sense of the aspects I need to consider and how to make the situation most secure etc, given the circumstances. I would have liked to have had even more time spent on different scenarios, possibly starting by the end of the first day, and perhaps extending the use of items we would be carrying in a rucksack. The scoring system was excellent as it kept driving home the fact that the essential needs have to be remembered every single time. I found Pete Cunningham an excellent trainer, able to make us feel we were working together and concerned about the same matters and yet also clearly a thoughtful authority on first aid needs and situations. The way that he encouraged some discussion without letting this take over or deflect us from the central needs was excellent. The setting added to the good experience - far better than a bare hall. The sense that the people at Little Gidding were interested in us having a successful time added to the positive sense. Testimonial from Helen Garrett |
| 2009-01-12 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I found the course very informative and active. The instructor's presentation was very lively and he showed good knowledge and experience of first aid. Testimonial from Joseph White http://www.lancastercys.com/ |
| 2009-01-12 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course was excellent, 10/10. The trainer was really good, I liked the way that he could use his own experience as a mountain rescuer. I liked that there was lots of 'hands on' for us, as it meant that the information went in better, and it made it more interesting. I enjoyed getting outside to put what we had learnt into a practical situation, and the scenarios made you think! Testimonial from Hayley Weightman |
| 2009-01-11 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | very enjoyable course. even if the weather wasnt! Testimonial from Bruce JOHNSON |
| 2009-01-09 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | a brilliant course, opened my eyes up to what you can do with your knowledge and has encouraged me to take further courses to learn more in depth knowledge and think of incorperating a career in helping otheres Testimonial from James Iain MacKEDDIE |
| 2008-12-21 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course was really good and I learnt lots of useful things to take into the workplace as well as my social activities. Testimonial from Tom Foster |
| 2008-12-17 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I Recommend the course to everyone it is all usefull to know. Testimonial from Matthew L Dobson |
| 2008-12-16 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Excellent course Pete. Enjoy isn't the word I'd use as I find it quite stressful - with so much information in such a short time. Personally I'd prefer a drip-drip approach. Also booklet is excellent and I will refer it again and again to try to get keep these procedures in my mind. Testimonial from Richard Joynson |
| 2008-12-08 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course was excellent and strangely enjoyable! Just on the look out for casualties now! Thank you very much Peter. Testimonial from Alan Lloyd http://www.blackpoolsixth.ac.uk |

| 2008-12-07 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Once again Pete provided an excellent course which covered realistic first aid using a experiential scenario based approach.

| 2008-12-07 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | An interesting and informative course, with practical and relevant advice on caring for people in the outdoor environment. Thanks again! Testimonial from David Chapman |
| 2008-12-05 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I thought Pete was excellent. Clear, concise and pragmatic. I learnt lots of useful information as it was kept in an easy to understand format. I liked the way he kept using lots of different mediums for training (video, booklet, powerpoint, diaglogue, demonstrations) as it kept it interesting. Brilliant. Testimonial from Lucy Bound |
| 2008-12-04 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I found the course enjoyable, and particularly liked the emphasis on the key "Must-do's" ABC. I think i will definitely be able to retain the appropriate information under pressure if ever faced with a serious incident. This gives me confidence - prevous courses i have found a bit overloaded and left overwhelmed. This course was perfect - thank you very much Pete. Kathy Testimonial from Kathy Iffla |
| 2008-12-04 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I thought the course was made very relevent to everyone who attended, which was quite a wide range of people, which was excellent. The course was not just dictated each step of the way, the trainer really made you think and consider different approaches to situations which really help me to learn. Thanks!

| 2008-10-16 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Pete is a great trainer. He made the 2 days fun,and his emphasis on practical experience also means you really learn a lot. i was on a course with him 3 years ago, and i hope i will renew my ticket with him. Thanks Pete. Testimonial from Aileen Maceachen |
| 2008-10-12 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Thank you very much Pete. I really enjoyed the course. I think particular strengths are having so much opportunity to practice and repeat procedures and so feel confident with what we need to do. Assessing each other is great because it required us to constantly reflect on what we were doing and so reinforced the learning. Your style of delivery, and confidence in our ability to succeed is very affirming. Thanks. Testimonial from Kath Lupton |
| 2008-10-06 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | excellent weekend despite the rain! A really nice group of people, very relevant information, and extremely well informed instructor who could answer any questions! Testimonial from Emma Moonlight |

| 2008-07-28 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course was carried out very well, with a relaxed approach, however it was still packed full of information and I think everyone felt like they learnt something new. Testimonial from Catherine Turner |
| 2008-07-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course repeats lots the "arrive at the scene what to do" bit witch is very useful when faced with a real situation. I have realised that i would do things differently if I ever was faced with the real situation i had to deal with again. Testimonial from Stuart Carter http://www.climb365.net |
| 2008-07-25 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Another great course the second day is great. Better space and fewer numbers is good. We enjoyed there being a good mix of girls and boys. Testimonial from Stuart Carter |
| 2008-07-21 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Pete used his extensive practical experience to make the sessions interesting and informative. He coped admirably with the wide range of experience in the group and still moved us all on. Thanks for the training. Testimonial from Cheryl Wiseman |
| 2008-07-18 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Quality, informative, educational and enjoyable two days. My wife has also been a very good practice casualty though complains that i don't need to shout "open your eyes please" as loud as i've been doing. Testimonial from Keith Dalton |

| 2008-06-24 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Fantastic two days...really enjoyed every minute. Although I have been doing First Aid for years, there is always something new to learn...or a new way to learn it. Thanks again. Testimonial from Paul Wheelhouse Link to student's website |
| 2008-05-01 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I had a wonderful time and I'm really glad that I learnt the skills. I would recomemd anyone who is planning to do sport in the outdoors take the course Testimonial from Suzy Howat |
| 2008-04-28 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Really enjoyed the course, I was expecting to learn lots of stuff about how to deal with broken ankles/legs head injuries that I might get climbing. But putting all the heart attack/stroke/diabetes stuff in context makes me see that this is probably more useful. Learning how to prioritise breathing/neck injuries was particularly interesting. Cheers for a good weekend. Andy Testimonial from Andrew Blackett |
| 2008-04-27 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | An Excelent all round practical first aid course that gives a realistic method and look on first aid in the outdoor enviroment! Testimonial from Douglas McTurk |
| 2008-03-23 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I really enjoyed the course, it was the second I had been on at this venue. I find the pace and structure of the course excellent. I feel the course really concentrates on the basics but more advanced information is available if you need it. Testimonial from Joseph Maguire |
| 2008-03-20 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A great hands on course. I think the session where you got us to train each other whilst managing a casualty really helped. It forced us to think about what we were doing and by vocalising it to someone else also meant that we had to put the sequence of treatment in a logical sequence. A very useful training aid. Hope to see you in the future - Kind regards Chris comment left by Chris Petrie. Testimonial from Chris Petrie |
| 2008-03-20 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | The course was well delivered and showed a good common sense approach. Testimonial from John Nicholls |
| 2008-03-17 | Paediatric 12 hour course | It was very enjoyable, usually I feel very nervous about these courses but the instructors put us at our ease and were willing to go over anything you didn't understand. I especially liked the mini talks we did on the various illnesses and conditions. Testimonial from Catherine Brooks |
| 2008-03-12 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | A great course, very enjoyable. I will certainly be recommending it to others. Sarah Testimonial from Sarah Leggett |

| 2007-12-06 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Particularly impressed with Pete's personal experience of real first aid that backed up an incredibly thorough medical knowledge, and excellent delivery. He managed a group superbly that had a mixture of 'never done a 1st aid course' to some of the most experienced British Mountain Guides in the country. Pete is far more than someone who has been on a first aid trainers course! Highly recommended. Loz Colyer Deputy Head of Centre, Tower Wood LEA. Testimonial from Laurence Colyer Link to student's website |

| 2008-03-07 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | I often come away from courses no better than I had when I went in. I came away from this first aid course with the confidence and understanding to respond for real should the situation occur. Many thanks to Pete and Steve for an excellent educational, inspirational and fun course. Pete Munford. Testimonial from Peter Munford |

I found that Pete's method suits my way of practical learning. Venue: always good food. Testimonial from Joe Beaumont http://www.windermerecanoekayak.com |
| 2007-12-05 | Outdoor First Aid (2 day) | Pete Just a quick word to say how much I enjoyed the first aid course. I guess I am like many clients who take part for NGB validation - I booked because it is a requirement of my BASI licence to say up to date. Having said that I would recommend your course to all, particularly outdoor enthusiasts and will be passing on your details to those at the NPA who deal with health and safety. You created a very positive and supportive atmosphere and the coaching progression and variety of styles and activity were great. I was intrigued by your idea of first aid training as a group development activity and I could well be in touch to talk about that in the future. All the very best.
