Brilliant course from Mike at Abacus Training

Our team gained invaluable knowledge from attending this first aid course. Mike delivered it very efficiently and in a lot of detail leaving time for any questions we needed to ask. We left feeling confident and assured that if there were ever a situation that required first aid assistance I would be able to act quickly. Thank you, Mike and Abacus Training, fabulous service!

FREC 3 Highly Recommend.

Mike is a real people person, we couldn’t catch him out with any questions he didn’t know the answer too over a 5 days intense course, and the open discussions we had over various subjects really bought our course into a real world context.

I feel I’ve learned life long skills and will always value what Mike has taught me.

Thank you

Chris

Excellent course and delivery

The course was delivered in a very thorough, clear manner by an extremely capable and knowledgeable trainer. I found the course to be both interesting and of course valuable in terms of updating my existing first aid skills along with the additional defibrillator and catastrophic bleed training given. Most excellent.

Mike is a friendly and knowledgeable trainer who has been running First-Aid courses for Scout Leaders in our District for many years. He keeps himself up-to-date and makes the courses interesting with various anecdotes. His knowledge of the various do's and dont's in a Scouting environment is particularly useful.

First time first aid.

I had not attended a first aid course before and found this one extremely informative and detailed, the presenter was most friendly making some parts humorous but also made sure we understood the seriousness of the subject. Fully recommended.
