It was very informative and even though it was interrupted unfortunately due to one of the attendees had a seizure I was able to see the First aider in action and how to respond to the situation calm and collected

I attended the session at Pudsey community centre and found the experience super informative. As a very new parent I feel far more equipped to deal with an emergency which is wonderful. The instructor was lovely, encouraging and great with any questions - can’t recommend highly enough

Jess delivered an amazing mini first aid course aimed at young children and parents - focusing on DR ABC, CPR and how to use a Defib. She kept the content informative, upbeat and engaging for all, my kids loved learning all about it and getting 'hands on' to practice what they learnt.
From having a longstanding background of completing annual Aviation medical training, Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at work, I can highly recommend Jess at Cookson First Aid.

I attended a first aid training session today with the Oliver Cookson Foundation. Richie led the session incredibly well. He was friendly and very clear. I really appreciated his guidance in applying the techniques on the manikins. I really enjoyed the session and most importantly thankful to Richie as I left feeling more confident in my ability to save a life. Thank you

Matt Donnelly delivered our First Aid Training in an excellent manner from start to finish. Extremely knowledgeable, engaging and made the session easy to follow. There was a great balance of learning and hands-on practise, which helped relate it to potential real-life situations. We would recommend Cookson First Aid to anyone who is looking for a supportive and enjoyable way to complete a course of this sort.

Richard Whatts made the whole experience of first aid skills interesting, easy to understand as well as being aware of the dangers. All the Tuesday Club members of 55 years and over learnt something new in CPR and other first aid information. Thank you Richard for a entertaining afternoon.
