Bank account name was missing on order form and wasn't obvious ... needing contact with the sales team to complete the purchase. But otherwise, good price and quick delivery.

First aid re-qual

I'll be honest, I used to dread first aid courses. In my experience they have been boring and long winded, yet I always knew how important the content was.
I have recently completed a 2 day re-qual with the training co and I soon realised why previous courses had been boring....it all comes down the delivery from the tutor.
I had a tutor called Matthew Cooke and he was incredible. Very engaging, very funny and was absolutely full to the brim of knowledge and experience. There's nothing he didn't know off the top of his head. There were no power points to guide him through his delivery of the course, he knew everything in the highest of detail.
He made the course fun and relevant to our workplaces.
I then left the course with a whole different mindset of first aid courses.
A really enjoyable course (requalification). Thanks Matt 🙌🏻

Managed to stay engaged throughout

Managed to stay engaged throughout, which is difficult on some training sessions. Laura kept us all involved and didn’t just speak to us with a power point. Constant reassurance given and many questions made room for discussion's.

Proffesional Trainer with a wealth of knowledge

I recently had the pleasure of attending a first aid training course led by Matthew Cooke, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment the session began, Matthew's passion for teaching and commitment to safety were evident.

Matthew's expertise in first aid is impressive, and he has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible information. His engaging teaching style kept everyone involved, and he used real-life scenarios to illustrate key points, making the training both informative and relatable.

What truly sets Matthew apart is his patience and encouragement. He created an open environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and practicing skills. His hands-on approach ensured that we not only learned the theory but also gained confidence in performing first aid techniques.

By the end of the course, I felt well-prepared to handle emergencies, and I left with a wealth of knowledge that I know will be invaluable. If you're looking for a first aid trainer who is knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely cares about his students, look no further than Matthew Cooke. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking first aid training!

Best First Aid Course I've attended, Matt Cooke was amazing Trainer!

Matt Cooke was an amazing trainer and motivated the whole class at all times (he delivered the course to Sandwell Council).

Initially I was dreading doing a 3 day course but it flew by as Matt was enthusiastic and an excellent tutor. He would recap things a few times to make sure we absorbed the information (both theory and practical).

Matt even explained the root causes of symptoms to give us that wider understanding in order to help people better, and he explained it in the simplest manner so that we understood. No other first aider trainer has ever done this.

A big thank you to Matt and his company. Matt is an asset to The TrainingCo company. Thanks, Nab Yafai
