Excellent throughout - very knowledgeable. Excellent content and new info. Excellent Course - some new lifesaving details. Jill Norfolk 2024

Well presented, very clear and explained very well. The structure of the course was well organised and presented. The theory was well explained and demonstrated with time to practice. Great admin and course notes well presented and clear. Tracey Robertson 2024

Another very well presented course. What also make Mark and Nina's course so easy to understand is their clear explanations and excellent equipment. I find their somewhat humerous approach at times (loved the film of Mr Bean trying CPR) assists with repeating this subject every 3 years. They respond to all questions clearly and for any attending therapists these answers are tailored to their particular practice. Invaluable. Jane Rose 2024

The Tutors were both extremely knowledgeable and gave all information in clear understandable language, managing also to make it fun! Well structured with clear easy to follow presentations & hand-outs. Plenty of opportunity to practice CPR and scenarios. I left feeling 100% confident. Natalie Gilding 2024
