Poppy Galbraith2024-04-18Amazing course!
Karly Pearce2024-04-18Best first aid course, I've ever attended!! Toby gave us regular breaks during the day, to make sure we didn't lose focus or get bored. Toby is easy going, has a great sense of humour, which made it way more fun and digestible 👌🏾 Thanks Toby ☺️
izaak stanton2024-04-18Toby was super helpful and made the process as fun as possible, we all learnt a lot, even those who had completed training before learnt a lot more of useful information, would 100% recommend
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!
ian stone2024-04-04Optimal First Aid and Toby provided exceptional service. Their content was top-notch, presented in a manner that seamlessly integrates First Aid into real-life situations. This approach made the course highly engaging, instilling confidence in myself and our colleagues to effectively administer first aid should the situation ever arise.
Sal Thepal2024-03-28The Emergency First Aid at Work course with Toby was engaging, thought provoking and thorough. His life experience brought a realism and immediacy into the room. Excellent teaching.
Briony Enright2024-03-27Would highly recommend this organisation for First Aid Training, great facilitator who made the subject interesting and easy to learn.
Rachel Stammers2024-03-27Very practical and informative first aid course. Toby gave us the benefit of his real lived experience using first aid, and was very reassuring.
Jim Wilsher2024-03-26Toby and Erica ran a very well organised and hugely informative two-day course that I attended recently. Having people running the course with 'real' first-hand experience of administering first aid in the outdoors means the content is high quality, realistic and hands-on. I have been highly recommending the course to others and look forward to doing another one sometime. Thanks to the both of you.
Belinda Smith2024-03-07Toby delivered a first class course today, a great facilitator who kept us all engaged. I’d thoroughly recommend Optical First Aid to anyone looking to arrange any type of first aid course.
