Great FREC 3 coursePosted on Adventure South UKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Second time on this course. I would highly recommend Optimal First Aid.Posted on Karen PurringtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time I have attended the 16 hour Outdoor First Aid course with Optimal First Aid and once again found it to be extremely well-structured and engaging. The hands-on scenarios were particularly valuable to practice real-life situations and build confidence in applying what I learned. Toby (who has a sense of humour) used clear and easy-to-understand language which made each topic accessible. Overall, it’s a highly effective course that I would recommend to anyone looking to gain practical first aid skills in a supportive and well-paced environment. I have recommended this course to several colleagues who all agree. I will definitely be back in 3 years!Posted on Leon Kendall-BrownTrustindex 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.
