Why choose us?

Optimal was created in 2014 by Toby Osborne following a successful career in the British Armed Forces. With a passion for first aid and medical training, Toby was determined to provide a difference to first aid training based on his knowledge and experience rather than just providing a “tick in the box” exercise.

We offer public first aid training courses at venues across the UK and private courses at your premises. Read more.

"We use Optimal First Aid to train our tutors who teach Cornish Hedging and stone crafts outside at CREST. This course is like no first aid course you've ever been on! Brilliant for us - the delivery is highly practical and Optimal create realistic situations with weather, kit and casualties that you won't forget. In the past, I've been on Outdoor First aid courses where we didn't even go outside - Optimal's course is highly engaging and active. Toby and Erica are a great teaching team with unmatched expertise and good fun too"

"First Aid with Forestry. Very well presented and rammed full of information and knowledge. Toby obviously knows what he’s doing and is passionate about what he teaches, also he has a ton of experience to lean on and share. All questions were answered, most with a bit extra. Cannot recommend enough"
