"We recently attended my 4th 1st Aid course which was delivered by Helen Menhinick and Alan Ward.
On this occasion we attended our 3rd REC L5 which, includes refreshing the basics but also a more in-depth delivery around overseas travel and issues relating to altitude. The course was delivered well at a good pace but keeping things relaxed with lots of practical elements.
Most people could learn to be a 1st aid trainer but the one thing you can’t learn is the vast amount of experience that Alan brings to his courses. This experience means Alan not only gives possible scenarios and examples of potential issues but has also experienced a lot of them in real life from his extensive leading career. This makes the course all the more interesting as the stories shared are potentially situations we may encounter as leaders in the future.
The knowledge and experience Alan has passed on to us over the years of courses we’ve completed has underpinned some of the decisions we have made whilst leading our own groups.
​Alan’s wealth of knowledge and experience has defiantly made us more competent leaders especially when it comes to dealing with 1st Aid and risk type situations."
