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.
