Excellent FREC 3 course in Southwest Devon by Optimal First Aid. Will return to renew qualification in the future. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Alan LowethTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've just attended the Emergency Outdoor First Aid Course run by Toby. I've done First Aid at Work Training before and my Emergency First Aid at Work qualification is still in date. The Outdoor Course was a great refresher, but I also learnt a lot more that's relevant for my current conservation volunteering. Toby delivered a full-day course which included lots of practical exercises and left plenty of time to practice the various techniques. He kept everyone's attention for the whole day which was quite an achievement and I'd recommend Optimal First Aid to anyone who is looking for an engaging trainer who will draw on their own experience but put the focus on the training needs of the attendees.Posted on Google Robert ChristieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
