Blended Paediatric First Aid was brilliant!

I recently completed the blended Paediatric First Aid training with St John Ambulance and had an excellent experience from start to finish.
The online learning I completed beforehand was easy to access, well organised and very clear to understand. The joining instructions for both the e-learning and the in-person training day were straightforward and made everything easy to prepare for.
I thoroughly enjoyed the in-person training day in Birmingham with Hina. She was an engaging instructor who made the session interactive, practical and enjoyable. The hands-on activities really helped to build my confidence and understanding.
I would highly recommend this training to anyone who needs a first aid qualification. It was informative, well delivered and a genuinely enjoyable learning experience.

Another great training course

Another great training course courtesy of St Johns Ambulance. This was a refresher but it was good to note that the style of the course has been updated since the last one. As always a varied mix of participants leading to different viewpoints and interesting discussions. I think this time there was a greater emphasis on self care (which is what I was hoping for) along with the care of others. A perfect space to be open and honest and everyone was encouraged to participate as fully, or not, as they were comfortable with. As always the training was excellent.

Karl in Hull gave our first aid coarse and he made it enjoyable and educational, a few new bits in the coarse which were good to know about now as not previously in my last visit three years ago.

Big thanks to Karl.
