EXCELLENT Based on 256 reviews Posted on Leon Kendall-BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great course and highly recommend to any CP operators living in the south westPosted on Neil ChantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FREC 3 Course Qualification based in Devon Toby presented a well structured course with a steady pace for all learners. This was in a nice warm and clean classroom. Toilets and facilities were very good also. I would have no problem recommending Optimal First Aid training to any one.Posted on Samantha KeverenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the FREC 3 Course last week and it was engaging from beginning to end, no death by powerpoint!, just excellent teaching from a trainer with vast experience in the field and with great up to date knowledge. Relaxed daily hands on practical sessions built into the learning schedule with realistic scenarios, which were great for building my confidence and knowledge. Would highly recommend completing training with Toby and I look forward to completing my FREC 4 with Optimal First Aid in the near future.Posted on Mark HandleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FREC 3 course completed, excellent instruction with plenty of hands on.Posted on Alfred MorlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a FREC 3 course here, great instructor and a good amount of hands-on training which helps seal in the information! Would definitely recommendPosted on Richard EdmondsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A really useful course with practical learning for the outdoor scenario which is somuch more useful than just the First Aid at Work course.Posted on Wendy DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. High up on Dartmoor in a modern village community centre, during stormy winter weather, an apt setting for the Outdoor first aid course. Direct access to the outdoors from the large airy room. Very experienced and professional trainer, who clearly really knew his stuff having been a medic in the Army. Trainer was friendly and helpful always able to answer any question and give real examples of incidents he'd dealt with to back up learning. Group work and practical sessions kept it interesting and - joy! - no powerpoint.Posted on Chris AndrewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most relevant first aid course I've ever attended. A course crammed with relevant content that was clearly tailored to the participants. All of the advice and techniques were given by someone who had used them in real situations, not taken from a text book. The practical exercises were brilliant and really gave the feel of an actual emergency (worryingly so!). The course is more costly than a more basic course, but are you ticking boxes or training for an actual situation? As someone who is self employed (and so pays the cost! ) I thought it was well worth the money. I can recommend this course to anyone, especially if you are in a more rural environment. Unfortunately I booked my course on a wet day in January. I still enjoyed the course, but next time I might well choose a warmer time of year.Posted on Joanne KnightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attended a great outdoor first aid training course with Toby from Optimal First Aid. Very knowledgeable, hands on experience. Well tailored to our workplace. Highly recommend.Posted on Chloe NunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did their outdoor first aid course in October 2025. It was engaging and informative. The high level of hands on practice and scenario based exercises enhance my confidence. I've previously had comparable training through lifeguarding, and while reminders of the basics was incredibly useful, I also felt that this course gave me skills in situation triage and management which I haven't had before.
