EXCELLENT Based on 217 reviews Alice Lentern2025-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Optimal First Aid for EFAW and EFAW +F training and Toby is a great trainer. His courses are thorough, engaging and highlight key learning outcomes. I would recommend them to anyone! Ollie Orton2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic First Aid Course! 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. Great course with practical information and a Fantastic teacher. Howard Smith2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Returned to Optimal to renew my the 16hr outdoor first aid training, as always lots of practical exercises both indoors and outdoors, great fun and always learn something new. Ewart Roots2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The presenter Peter was excellent and I learned more from this course than any so far. Alastair Hopkins2025-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great course. 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.
