Super practical covering so many different scenarios, excellent teaching, and was so pleased we didn’t just sit in a classroom doing CPR for 6 hours like most other providers’ courses! Really happy will definitely be back. Thanks Toby, ace job! Production Manager2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It was full-on over two days, packed with information and the trainer was very knowledgeable. The trainer taught the material well and set up many, life-like first aid scenarios. I will want to go back to the same company in 3 years to renew. Steve Pryce2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Another great course from Optimal First Aid. Working in the outdoors as I have been for over thirty years now I have attended more than ten so called outdoor first aid courses. The Optimal course has been the most useful and practical by a wide margin and has made me look again at how I approach first aid situations and also what I carry in my pack. Many thanks Toby. Ollie Taylor (Photographer)2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent course, attended by both myself and my partner/buisness partner. Really intuitive and some innovative practical tuition and team exercises to make it really interesting and help understand real life situtations. Andrea Ayres2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just completed probably the best First Aid course I have been on in the last 30 years. Practical training focused on relevant scenarios that trained you to assess and think rather than look at a text book. Highly recommended.
