What our learners in Chesterfield say

"Matt and Clare were hugely engaging and went through every section without feeling rushed. They got everyone involved which I think is very important for first aid application. It has made me so much more confident that if I ever came across a first aid emergency, I’d know that I could genuinely help and support whoever’s in need."
