"The course was a good combination of online work, and a practical session. The online part was clear, easy to navigate and contained regular self-tests. The practical part was well taught, and showcased Declan's vast knowledge and experience of first aid. A final multiple answer test ensured all participants had the required knowledge to be a competent First Aid Responder"
