This was an excellent training session. I feel much more confident if I ever have to deal with an emergency situation at school or on a school trip. Mark Otley was an excellent tutor and the course was very detailed with practical hands-on opportunities.

This was a fab training session, we covered lots of different scenarios and were given great demonstrations on using equipment as well as hands-on opportunities. Mark is a great tutor who delivered the course efficiently while also ensuring we were all confident in a range of scenarios.

Great quick course, instructor was very good. We only had a small number in our class and Mark kept it very light and interactive so we weren’t just listening to someone speak at us for 3 hours!
