First aid responder

I recently had the opportunity of being taught the first aid responder course by Aiden, he demonstrated an exceptional level of knowledge in the field. Aiden’s ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner made the learning experience both engaging and informative. I would highly recommend Aiden for his exceptional knowledge, professionalism and dedication to empowering other with life saving skills.

Aidan was brilliant when delivering the first aid responder course. He had great knowledge of the course and content and was able to answer any questions we had. The course was delivered with practical examples and use of equipment.

Excellent service

I’ve undertaken a first aid course in 2022 and more recently an aed training course with DSTS.
On both occasions I’ve found the trained to be excellent and the trainers delivered the information and experiential elements of both courses in an easy way with light hearted humour added to make a serious subject less intimidating.

We completed our training with Aidan in November. The entire course was delivered in an innovative and engaging manner. The course was tailored to meet our specific needs, it was highly interactive and very engaging. Aidan was helpful, approachable and highly professional. I would highly recommend Donegal Safety Training Solutions.

First Aid course

Had the pleasure of taking part in the first aid course with instructor Aiden Thompson who presented a first class course for Buncrana Hearts coaches recently.
Very detailed and got everyone involved on the night.
Opened our eyes to the simple mistakes we can make while trying to help someone out even with minor injuries.
But also bringing confidence to us in dealing with the many different and difficult scenarios we could be faced with.
Highly recommended and thanks again to Aiden.

First Aid Responder Course

I just finished a first aid course with Aiden. He is a fantastic instructor. We covered lots of different scenarios and if I was in a situation where I had to help someone perform CPR, I would feel comfortable to do so.
Aiden was very interesting to listen to and put us all at ease. I would highly recommend Aiden. Thank you.

First Aid Responder Course

I recently completed a 3 day First Aid Responder Course with Aiden Thompson as part of a healthcare course. He really knows his stuff!! Aiden is the perfect instructor to be giving this course. He fills every lesson with hands on practical skills demonstrations and real life scenarios. We covered a wide range of first aid situations. I found the CPR training with the AED defibrillator especially important as this is the skill that I would have been least confident in before hand. He took that fear away for me!
Aiden has a great way of engaging everyone too, when teaching the theory. Instead of just reading it from a book or from a screen, Aiden delivers the course by sharing his vast array of knowledge and using many of his own real life experiences as a paramedic.
You really will come away feeling much more knowledgeable and confident in responding to someone in that first stage of their emergency!
Thanks Aiden!

Irish heart foundation training By DSTS

I needed to do training in order for my partner to be discharged from hospital. I called Aiden and he went above and beyond to help us. He came to my home the very next day. He was professional in his role while also being very sensitive and understanding of our situation. He was reassuring, I felt confident after completing Irish Heart Foundation Training. I would highly recommend Aiden from DSTS.

Done a CPR course in New York way back in 1992.
Finished another CPR course today with Aiden. Far more professional than back in 1992. Enjoyed ever minute of this course and would highly recommend if you need to learn CPR or need to refresh your CPR skills.
