Safety and First Aid training - A1 is a must for any business

My husband and I both work for the NHS, however we attended a 2 day first aid course run by A1 Training Solutions as part of out mandatory training as foster carers. Darren aka Flash ran the 2 days and we can say without hesitation it was the BEST first aid course we have attended. A lot of thought and preparation had been put into the audience Darren was teaching and it was so relevant to the situations we can could find ourselves in with look after Children. He was so engaging not once did we loose focus, not one did we look at the clock. He made it real, he made it fun and we came away having learnt sooooo much. Thank you Flash

Just finished a 3 day first aid course with Darren aka Flash.
It has been the most intense but very informative and enjoyable course I have ever been on.
I would highly recommend Darren to anyone. His knowledge and passion towards first aid is second to none and after the course I feel even more prepared to assist anyone who is in difficulty requiring first aid.

My First Ever L3 First Aid Course

Just finished my first ever Level 3 first aid qualification and Flash was the most incredible trainer. Everything was made so simple with his acronyms for each individual incident you may be presented with and was always very informative with his depths of knowledge on each topic. Flash also was determined to make sure everyone was 100% confident with each element of the course - I really struggled with bandages but he gave me the extra time to get my head around it and even showed me 1:1 so I would understand better. Flash was also extremely sensitive to the group when covering CPR as some of us had very recent experience of dealing with a CPR incident. His words surrounding the incident and praise for how we handled it was always highly appreciated.

Thank you so much Flash for everything you taught me - highly recommend this company for all your First Aid Training needs :)

Educational and Enjoyable

Flash had a wealth of knowledge and was able to communicate it all through flow charts, real life examples, and a good helping of jokes. The 3 day training course has fully prepared me to be a first aider and made me excited to come back each day to learn more! Could not recommend more

Thank you so much for your lovely review. You and the rest of the group were absolutely amazing. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn was outstanding. You are all a total credit to your company.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing!!

Just finished a 3 day first aid course with Flash. All I can honestly say is WOW. Flash is full of knowledge and really knows how to keep an audience.

I didn’t feel for one second like I was in a training room, with the exception of realising that everything that was taught actually went in and is now ingrained. I didn’t think I’d feel this confident in my ability to deliver first aid, behind every great student is an even greater teacher.

It really helps when a trainer goes above and beyond to build a relationship with the trainee(s) as, for me, it ensures I don’t have any fears of asking questions or getting stuck into the practical side of things.

Thanks so much Flash, “you are amazing” at what you do and highly valued I am sure.

Fantastic training by Flash yesterday

Fantastic training by Flash yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Flash has first hand experience and this is definitely reflected within his training. He engaged us all throughout and made the training fun yet exclaimed the importance. Flash made the training personalised to the service users needs however, first aid training is very important and useful in everyday life and Flash gave us examples. Thank you so much!

Excellent First Aid Course

The depth of knowledge and experience which Darren has acquired during his career to date surpasses any other trainer I have met. The way he delivers the information to the learners is excellent which made the course very interesting. Along with the opportunity to practise the skills being taught, Darren gave individual feedback to the learners if needed. I would highly recommend A1 Training Solutions.
Also my sincere thanks to Fiona for all the help she gave when enrolling on the course.

Thank you so much Malcolm for such a lovely review. Over the years we have trained with you, we always love the amount of enthusiasm you bring into the training room. It’s an absolute pleasure to have you in the classroom. Flash loves hearing your experiences/stories you have collated over the many years you have been within the industry. Also a massive thank you from Fiona in our office for your very kind words. She really does go above and beyond for us at A1 Training Solutions, constantly keeping all of the plates spinning.

Great way to learn.

Straight to the point and extremely knowledgeable. Everything that Flash explains to you is backed up with real life stories and that just seems to make things sink in to your memory that little bit more.
In what can be a difficult subject to take in in a day, he manages to ballance the fun with the teaching.
I've had the pleasure of 3 classes over the years with him and honestly the best way to be taught instead of being talked at for a whole day! Thanks.

Lee thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review. I truly believe that the best way for my learners to take on board the information I’m sharing is to do so with a smile on their faces. Thank you also for taking the time to train us again for the 3rd time.
