Public Course Dates
Good News! We have public training dates for the following first aid courses in AberdeenshireI completed the paediatric first aid course and it is by far the best first aid course I have done. Great mixture of theory and practical with fun interactive games to really make you think and learn. Sean was great, made you feel so at ease, very relatable and appropriate to my job as an early years practitioner. Very knowledgable with the current guidance also which makes it easier to relate. I’ve never felt confident in first aid even though I’ve taken part in a number of them until I completed this one. Would highly recommend, thankyou!!
