2 Day Forest School First Aid Course Reviews

  1. Stuart White –

    Having done a few different Forest School First Aid courses, from a range of providers over the years, I have to say that this was the most engaging and accessible one I’ve ever participated in. The practical application of first aid techniques was delivered in a ‘scenario-based’ way making it a rewarding, enlightening and memorable experience. The confidence the team inspired in me and my ability to deliver appropriate first aid if called upon to do so in my sessions was excellent! I wholeheartedly recommend this Forest School First Aid course and will definitely return in the future.

    I attended the two day Outdoor / Forest School First Aid course in Jan 2024. This was my second (possibly third?) with Andy.

    The course was so relaxed. There were no magic formulas involved – just the basic premise that if you’re having to administer CPR, things can’t get much worse for that person so take a deep breath and give it a go! The worry about the ratio of rescue breaths to compressions quickly disappeared after that!

    No slides to watch, test papers to complete or awkward questions thrown at you in this course, just useful information surrounded by stories and role play scenarios (with a fair bit of blood!)

    When someone knows their craft as well as Andy it feels like a series of friendly chats … but you come away with lots of information as well as a number of ‘have a go’ role play situations that feel real enough to get the adrenaline pumping but in a non judgemental environment.

    Highly recommended.

    See you in three years!

    I just wanted to write and say thank you so much for a really interesting, engaging and informative two days doing the outdoor first aid course. Of all the first aid courses I’ve done this has left me the most enthused and empowered to feel like I know what I need for my first aid kit and what help I can provide in the unfortunate event of needing to give first aid.

    The way the two of you brought scenarios to life with very realistic acting and props, whilst talking through processes clearly and inviting group interactivity has really helped those all important messages and knowledge sink in. I really appreciated hearing you’re real life stories as well.

    One particular element that I was impressed with was your focus on mental health throughout the course. It is the first, first aid course I have done where the mental health impact on both the victim of an event and particularly yourself as first aider has been thought about and the suggestions you gave for managing this were both practical and thoughtful.

    I also especially appreciated how relaxed the course was in terms of not stressing about detailed technique because that is not realistic. The learn and evaluate as we go approach really made me feel at ease and because I wasn’t stressing about being ‘tested’, it made me more open to absorbing the information and more confident to engage.

    Finally and on a more personal note, I am so glad I was doing your course as my first two days away from my 10 month old baby. Honestly, I was dreading it, but given all of the above – the relaxed atmosphere, how engaging and interactive the content was – I couldn’t have asked for a more positive distraction. And I am now really excited to share this knowledge and skills with my son when he is a little older. Thank you for being so caring and empathic to this particular circumstance throughout the course.

    The scenarios we took part in and the way the course was taught made you feel much more confident about your ability to deal with a first aid emergency.

    This is the second time I have trained with Andy and Sean. Both times they have been fantastic. They are not interested in blinding you with complicated technique, rather they are passionate about making First Aid really accessible with methods that are effective and most importantly- memorable
