Look what they say about us…

We have now held two First Aid courses on site run by Michelle, Level 2 and Level 3. Each course was delivered with a huge amount of support and encouragement. The whole group have commented since on how enjoyable the day was and that they would like to attend more courses! We fully recommend Michelle at First Hand Training and look forward to using them more in the near future.

Being able to have the course presented in the work place was a huge benefit to Princes Quay Shopping Centre. Michelle ensured everyone had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss in an open forum which made the course enjoyable.

We have been most impressed with the professionalism and flexibility that First Hand Training Solutions have shown since starting to deliver first aid training for our staff and clients. Evaluation back from participants & organisations has been very positive and we would be happy to recommend this company to other organisations who may be looking for similar training.
