Winterbury Training Reviews 161

Winterbury Training is a well run professional Training Enterprise with likeable supportive and enthusiastic Trainers. The First Aid training and Information was relatable to each candidates knowledge and background too which was very helpful

Very engaging and informative first aid course which I learnt a lot from.

Carolyn made the 3 days of First Aid at work training really enjoyable. The presentation, discussion, theory and practical were all really engaging. This was one of the best First aid courses I have attended.

I found the course to be well laid out, with excellent delivery and engaging. Lots of little nuggets of information I have never had in my over 25 years or First Aid course attending and great refreshers for that which I had learned in the past. It was the first time I have had defib training in a course, which was invaluable, as I now feel much more confident should I ever need to use one and I now know how to locate them in any location I am visiting.

I would highly recommend a first aid course with Winterbury and will be returning in 3 years to renew.

I recently completed my Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET 3) with Carolyn from the Winterbury team. No review I write will ever do her justice but I'll give it my best try! I cannot put into words how truly fantastic Carolyn is. Our teaching sessions were engaging, fun, and her infinite amount of knowledge and experience shone throughout. The AET 3 is all about learning how to teach - you would have thought Carolyn was the creator of the qualification! I aspire to be a teacher/trainer myself one day and I'll be pleased if I end up half as good as her. I look up to Carolyn with huge admiration and I will forever draw upon her teaching methods to use in my own practice.
As a side note - around the start of the course, I began to experience some health difficulties which impacted my ability to engage with the taught sessions and the coursework element. Carolyn was so flexible, accommodating, and understanding of this. Without her patience and support, I couldn't have hoped to finish my AET 3 (something I've been wanting to complete for a very long time). Thank you Carolyn!

A very worthwhile training day, made fun and relatable to our workplace and all the staff who attended. Carolyn has great presentation skills, bringing the training theory to life with real life examples and stories. A good balance of theory and practical time within the day, lovely to use a local company with local venue, can't recommend Winterbury Training enough. Thank you for a great training day!

I didn’t think I could have fun at a first aid course on a Saturday but I really enjoyed myself! I came away feeling super confident with paediatric first aid having learnt it in a fun way! The whole day I felt comfortable enough to answer / ask questions. Even though I’ve done a first aid course before I also learnt thinks I didn’t know prior!
100% recommend.

The course was really planned and resourced. The trainer was knowledgeable and kept a good pace.

Winterbury Training is by far, the best first aid course I have ever attended. I had always felt previous trainers on courses from other companies talked at you and you came out with little chance of remembering anything! This is absolutely not the case with Carolyn and her team! Engaging and insightful! Have recommended to friends and family!

Carolyn is magnificent, she balances real life examples with humour. She is highly engaging and it is very easy to pass if you listen, do and watch the videos. I love the way Carolyn picks out how people learn best and uses learning arrangements to ensure they have an equal chance of success.

The topic was challenging at times due to the nature of safeguarding but Carolyn made it as interesting as possible and used humour where appropriate so it wasn’t too heavy. A balanced mix of listening, reading, class discussion and group discussion so it was not just staring at a screen all day. Thorough subject knowledge from Carolyn, Thankyou!

Lovely trainer who took the time to learn all our names and make us all feel relaxed whilst teaching valuable Paediatric First Aid, we covered CPR, Defib and Choking with working apparatus that made learning easier to understand.
Thank you Carolyn hope to see you again in three years

I will always come to Winterbury Training for First Aid and Safeguarding. The training sessions are always engaging and well planned.

First time doing my pediatric first aid and it was amazing learnt so much in a short time frame finished my exam at the end of it and felt so brainy and it was so fun 💯 recommend this course to everyone and want to thank you Carolyn your such a lovely lady take care X

The Paediatric First Aid course with Carolyn was brilliant. The course was super organised and full to the brim with everything I needed to know as an Early Years Practitioner. I left feeling confident in knowing the skills i had obtained can potentially save a life. Priceless knowledge.

Excellent course, very knowledgeable and gained a lot from completing

The course (as always) was extremely thorough and Carolyn had all the answers to questions and scenarios posed to her. An enjoyable 2 day course full of extremely important information, delivered in a manner that engaged us all and what could have been a very long 2 days, flew by.

In praise of Winterbury Training [but with no affiliation nor coercion to write this review.]
I recently attended a day-long Emergency1st Aid at Work refresher course and I was super impressed with the entire experience. The training was delivered by the Managing Director and Lead Trainer of Winterbury Training, who not only has many years of appropriate experience covering education at various levels, ambulance work and 1st Aid at levels way above the course that I was on. She has an outstanding ability to engage, entertain, involve her audience and hold their attention. She has the skill to approach what could – in other hands – be a bit of a dull subject in a manner which is humorous, entertaining, lively paced and delivered to an audience of diverse ages and experiences without in any way glossing over the serious nature of the material being covered. If you need 1st Aid training or refreshing at any level I can thoroughly recommend a look at winterburytraining.co.uk or Email at info @ the same address, or call 07584 732 119. I think you will be as impressed as I was.

I completed the QN UK Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) and Emergency Paediatric First Aid. I could not have asked for a better trainer - Carolyn's knowledge was exceptional and she was clearly passionate about first aid and helping others in the community. We were all made to feel very welcome and Carolyn made sure we were all included and felt comfortable in practical scenarios.
Carolyn made the course as enjoyable and fun as possible which enabled us to learn essential skills for the workplace. I would highly recommend this company.

Really great informative course led by Carolyn, a very knowledgeable lady who made the course interesting and engaging. Would highly recommend and will not hesitate to renew with in the future.
