Green Cross Global Reviews

The course was held at the Rodneys Hotel in Clifton Bristol. I found the course both interesting and informative. Tony's style of training was very relaxed and enjoyable keeping my attention throughout. However the room was a little on the small side for the amount of people on the course. The chairs were very uncomfortable to sit on for long periods of time and there are no parking facilities at the hotel and practically no on street parking available so all the delegates had to park about a mile away and walk.

The Trainer Paul Greenall did get the occasional thing wrong, for example the difference between veins and arteries. Other than that he was very knowledgeable and came across very well.

great course

The trainer arrived 30 minutes late. However, once training started, he was very friendly and engaging, he covered all areas and was willing to answer questions. The materials and contents used for the training were very detailed and packed with information. The delegates enjoyed the training very much.

Very informative, well presented, good balance between theory and practise on basic first aid.

A thoroughly educational and enjoyable learning experience giving confidence in dealing with Emergency first aid situations. Thank you.

loved the use of the defribulator but the address for the location provided to me was the wrong one

excellently presented and very engaging.

The trainer, Carol was excellent. The venue was fine but absolutely freezing a/c. Unfortunately there was a lot of confusion surrounding WHICH of the two Jury's Inn hotels in Brighton the course was supposed to be at. Subsequently we started an hour late and some of the delegates (myself included had to walk from the seafront to the station and then back to the seafront as we were given conflicting information. Apart from this poor administration however the course was informative and very useful.

I found the course content to be good, although the last few modules appeared to have been rushed. Partly due to the fact we lost 30 mins on day one due to the fact x3 people attended the wrong course at the wrong location, and also because the trainer's stories were at times, a little long winded. I had already commented on the paper feedback concerning the trainer, and spoke to him directly after the course had finished. In short, I was the only person from BT attending, the others were from Tesco. Whilst I have absolutely no objection in mixing with other businesses, I did , in my opinion, get singled out for repetitive snide remarks about my company directly from the trainer himself. He may have well had problems concerning his personal telephone line and broadband, but I did not expect side comments (he clearly thought some were amusing; I however did not) from the outset directed about my company in front of others. I did not expect comments about managers being described as like a spinal column removed ... "spineless" . As a manager, I found this distasteful and simply not funny. I am not exaggerating when I state comments continued for 3 days, and indeed, on the 3rd day in front of the class, I did say" that's enough and move on". David also made a comment directed to myself and a young lady referring his conversation to a lad about gunshot wounds as as " men talk", to which I took umbrage, and said I thought that was a sexist remark. His reply was " sorry.. boy's talk then". He also made another comment as he passed my desk after returning from break, saying, " just been speaking boy's talk". A further example of how (my perception) he was sexist, was the fact he was more than happy to show an injury from his phone of a casualty who had sustained a hand injury from car keys. Happy to show the "boys", but made it clear that we, as woman , may find it distressing. As the young lady pointed out to him, we had, actually, given birth, so blood and guts was nothing new. As I pointed out, I too could have made loads of snide remarks that he was ex police/RAF, but chose not to, as it would lower myself, and would be unprofessional. To conclude, the content was interesting, and I gave feedback to him once the course had completed. The trainer needs to realise that we are actually in the 21st Century, and to be professional in delivering training.
