Hull St Johns Ambulance

I learned a plethora of information. The course was a one day course for First Aid in Hull Citadel Way St Johns Ambulance Centre. Instructor was great, friendly and fun. Learned some of the skills it takes to keep someone safe/alive as much as possible. Thanks Guy's for the great experience and qualification.

Informative, interactive and engaging

Attended an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' course for the day and found it was informative, very interactive and engaging. The trainers, Matt and Sarah, were amazing and kept everything professional and fun at times. I definitely feel confident in my ability to render First Aid where required now after their teachings and would recommend the St. John Ambulance First Aid course to anyone who needs to learn these skills.

Title

Title: Excellent Fire Marshal Training Course

I recently completed a Fire Marshal training course with St John Ambulance and had a very positive experience. The instructor was knowledgeable, professional, and explained the information clearly.

The course was well organised, easy to follow, and included useful guidance about fire safety, evacuation procedures, identifying hazards, and the responsibilities of a Fire Marshal.

I found the training informative and practical, and I now feel more confident in carrying out Fire Marshal duties in the workplace. I would recommend this course to others who need Fire Marshal training.

Claire was a brilliant teacher

Claire was a brilliant teacher, chatty, friendly, understanding and taught course content in a informed but relaxed way. Came away feeling more confident and capable to deal with any first aid incident that comes my way in the workplace and general public

Fantastic course with knowledgeable tutors

I was on a 3 day Health & Safety at work course and ive got to say, it was one of the best courses ive ever been on.

Our tutors Odelle and Katie were both extremely knowledgeable, and drew upon their real life experinces to make the course even more engaging.

Id highly reccomend this course to anyone.

This was the 5th time I've done a faw,3…

This was the 5th time I've done a faw,3 with St Johns and 2 with Red Cross and this last one with St Johns was way better, unusually we had 2 trainers (2 days and 1 last day), both trainers were great and full of knowledge, only bad point was no Aircon in building as it had broken down but they had loads of fans going. Would recommend to anyone.

Nigel was a great trainer!

Nigel was a great trainer! He was very understanding and there was no question that seemed silly or stupid to ask. He was very open minded and made the sessions fun but of course remained respectful of what the course entailed.

I would highly recommend the course as it was insightful and very knowledgeable.

However again, a big shout out to Nigel!!
