U7 GYM2024-04-18We had Toby complete our Emergency First Aid at Work training for our staff, and we couldn't be happier with how the course went. From start to finish, Toby ensured that the course content was engaging and relatable to our own requirements in the gym industry. Toby was friendly, relaxed, and clearly had a lot of knowledge and experience. We will definitely be using Optimal First Aid Ltd for all of our first aid and further health and safety courses moving forwards. Thanks Toby!

This approach made the course highly engaging, instilling confidence in myself and our colleagues to effectively administer first aid should the situation ever arise.
