For new staff a poor MH because not able to practice with hoist as the service date had expired. Better resuscitation than last years as put into smaller groups to practice and was well managed by trainer. Trainer didn’t show much enthusiasm for his job

Enjoyed the training i am glad we were not put in groups to do course work like last year going round writing things on paper. Only downfall was that we finished late instead of 5pm.

Venue changed room location. This was not communicated. Called Health and Safety group and was first told there’s no venue in Chelmsford- then realized her error but unhelpful customer service. Arrived at the new room at 1:45, no trainer there and was greeted by an angry group of student telling us we can’t just join for half a day. Trainer arrived and told angry day students that we were there for the last half of the day- trainer was told by angry day students that it’s ‘disgusting’ Made to feel really unwelcome. You need to communicate better with your students

Very sketchy moving and handling section. Skills only demonstrated, no chance to practice. I was expecting BLS and moving and handling only and that it would be covered in depth with a practical element where all had to be observed in practice.
