Each on site course is tailored around your workplace environment where possible.

Two external assessors who have not been involved in the teaching of the course carry out the assessments. Our assessors are trained to carry out the assessments in a low stress environment and to install confidence in all attendees.

Testimonial

Walkers Private Day Nursery (Paediatric First Aid and Anaphylaxis Awareness)
walkersWe have been using 2nd chance First Aid for all our first aid / Epi-pen courses for the last 6 years. 
 
After completing 1st aid training every 3 years for the last 20 years I personally found some training centre's in the past have become monotonous and strained in there approach to teaching 1st aid. With all trainee's minds focusing not on the holistic approach to 1st aid - but the pass or fail re-enactment test at the end of the course.
 
Thankfully with 2nd chance 1st aid the course is held at a venue of your choice - this helps in keeping a calm environment which inevitably helps staff retain information. Neil ensures the course is suitably tailored to the group and ensures all his information and teaching techniques are currently endorsed practices. 
 
1st aid training is a serious training qualification, however my staff (especially new to child care) have remembered lots of detailed information due to the fun yet importantly informative way Neil teaches.
 
Roll on March 2012 when we will be seeing Neil again.
