The trainer: We knew his whole life story and family story by the end of the course, as he was oversharing unnecessarily about his private life. He needs to know his audience as the attendees were all nurses, but he assumed we were police just because we work for the police; he called the spine the spleen and then tried to justify it by saying he was getting confused with the Danish language as he is Danish ( I don't speak Danish but I don't believe the Danish word for the spine is spleen); the slides were amateurish and the trainer regularly made remarks that he didn't agree with them.

To much emphasis is paid to writing or classroom work making some students feel uncomfortable. When it should be more hands on and practical work I feel the course is drifting away from giving practical first aid in an emergency. Do I really need to know how many chambers are in the hart what the left or right atrium or ventricular does and be forced to spell all these words correctly in front of a classroom without being ridiculed please let’s get back to basics I’m a contractor not a consultant many of my colleagues fell the same way if this is the direction it is going maybe it’s not for me

Too much emphasis is given to writing and classroom work.when in an emergency I want to know what to do and how to do it . We need more hands on and practical skills I feel the course is drifting away from reality I need to react in an emergency. Do i really need to know how many chambers are in the heart and what the left and right ventricular and atrium function are I’m a contractor not a consultant and to get in front of a classroom draw and spell all this without being ridiculed is very difficult and stressful . all my colleagues felt the same we need to get back to basics I’ve been a first aider for several years but maybe it’s time to call it a day . Or get back to basics and make it enjoyable again

Enjoyed this as a refresher. David has a lot of knowledge which he was very good at sharing with us.

Day 1 and 2 (scott)trainer was very poor. Learned more about him than first aid. Glad I already had forst aid otherwise I don't think I would have learned much Day 3 (kev)trainer gave great content and much more helpful

Registration took too long at the beginning. The questions page kept saying error 404 and had to keep re logging in during the course. Some of the videos where too quiet on the sound.

Course is too long for the amount of information to be given to the learner. Reuben Mason did a wonderful job of trying to keep the class engaged and to get them to take part in all sections of the course. Cut the length of the sessions down and run two a day 8-12/12-4Response : Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunatley we have no control regarding the trainer to delegate interaction time. This is set by Ofqual. To be able to deliver regulated trainiing we must comply with their training standards.
