What People Say

"My trainer taught a course on basic life support to a group of five mums and one dad in West Hampstead this morning. She was clear, careful to ensure that everyone took part and understood the details (even me despite the fact that I kept bobbing out to attend to my weepy daughter) and friendly and patient. I thought that she was a very good trainer and that the content was well thought through and well presented. I would be happy to recommend it to other novice parents." Lesley Smith (Class date: 16 June, 2007)
