A refreshing and super friendly first aid training experience. Immediately following training, my entire team asked if we could re-book with The Bridge next time as it was so enjoyable. Previous first aid training has consisted of lots of role play, audience participation and practical assessments. The Bridge take a really unique approach to training and as a result, it's so engaging and actually quite fun! Nikki was just brilliant. She is warm, friendly, approachable and captivated the group with her incredible training technique. She refers to a lot of personal experiences in first aid which really help you retain information and due to her wealth of knowledge and real life experiences she has so many tips and tricks that would genuinely apply to every day situations - it's not just text book! I feel very lucky knowing my team have trained with Nikki, not only has our first aid knowledge improved significantly but I feel very confident if an accident or emergency were to occur during an event, my team could confidently assist until professional help was available. Thank you so much to The Bridge. Hands down the best first aid training experience you'll find. Could not recommend more highly!!

I would recommend this Bridge First Aid for the following reasons:- I booked the EFAW course through Jenny, who's communication was brilliant from start to finish, this meant there were no issues when Nikki arrived and could get set-up straight away.- Nikki was super laid back and had a sense of humor which always helps with courses like this, that can usually feel like they are dragging.- We didn't feel overwhelmed with information and she had so many relevant stories and examples which helped us to retain the information.- She made everyone feel comfortable so we were all happy to join in throughout.- No role play!!Couldn't recommend enough!

Today I attended a 6 hour ‘First Aid at Work’ course, facilitated by Nikki. Over the years I have attended many first aid courses, run by various providers. I have to say, this one was by far the most superior! Nikki should be the gold standard for all classroom based training! There are so many reasons I enjoyed both the course and the teaching style, that I’d take up a whole review page if I wrote about them, so I’ll bullet point them as follows:* Nikki introduced herself and her background, also the company background* Nikki spoke warmly of her colleagues and friends, which is always a good sign of a decent human being!* Nikki was inclusive and sensitive towards the possible needs of others* The course content was engaging and fun, which made it very memorable* Although there were PowerPoint slides in the background, these were not the focus of the session, so it never felt slow or tiring* No one was singled out or challenged, yet we were all guided in the right direction and given an opportunity to demonstrate our knowledge* At no point did I feel our facilitator droned on or waffled, yet I felt we went into great detail with all things ‘first aid’To summarise, I left feeling I had gained a wealth of knowledge, and completely confident in my first aid skills, should they be called upon. I would absolutely recommend this company and course! Thanks again.

I attended the MHFA training which was brilliant. Jenny created a safe and open environment for everyone on such personal topics. She equipped me to support others in their mental health but also my own. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.

Janice Walsh

17:21 20 Nov 22

Highly recommended. Great communication before, during and after the training. Jenny is an amazing - both as a facilitator and as a person. She is knowledgeable, informative and approachable.I completed the 2-day MHFA course over two consecutive Wednesdays and found this to be the perfect schedule. The course is demanding but having a break between the days allows time to reflect on learning from the first day before completing the second day.

I was so delighted to find such a good first aid course local to me. The instructor knew her stuff and was great at getting it across in an interesting and engaging way. I feel much more confident now and will definitely be back for my refresher in three years :) Thank you!

I had Nikki for my training she was warm and welcoming and she made the course enjoyable and fun .I couldn’t ask for a better instructor

Martin Harvey

A very well-organised course, the blend of online and in-person worked really well for me. The online videos and other resources are clear and well-presented. I find first aid training quite daunting to take part in, but the in-person training provided by Nikki was very sensitively handled - Nikki was great at working with a diverse group and ensuring we were following the elements we needed to cover. The organisation of the booking and the follow-up communications have also been excellent. Fully recommended.

Lynn Hawkins

19:09 12 Jun 22

From my initial phone call asking questions about the course, I received quick and precise communication and support.The blended course enables you to complete the first day around your own calendar over a prolonged period, either do it all at once or 1 hour a day. This was great, it meant I could fit it around work and if I began to fade, I could turn it off and return later.The face to face day was just as good. Nicky presents the information using real life situations, enabling the group to ask learn, laugh and ask questions in a relaxed environment. Thus resulting in us all learning so much more.Nicky, you were right about the 4 hand signals, I think they are totally embedded in my brain and definitely enabled me to understand.I would recommend this course to anyone who wants or needs a first aid qualification.Many thanks to both of you.

Did an occupational mental health first aid course with Jenny. The simple feedback is that EVERYONE should do this. It doesn't hurt. In fact, for such a serious topic, it's fun at times. Jenny's depth of knowledge and experience brings the subject alive.

Elaine Cole

11:11 24 Sep 21

This has to be by far one of the best training courses I've have attended. The course was informative, interactive and extremely relevant. I feel that I have learnt so much and I have been able to retain the information and I'm looking forward to putting my new found knowledge into practice I thoroughly enjoyed it and the course instructor Jenny was fantastic - highly recommend

Adam Salter

08:19 10 Sep 21

The trainer was clear and delivered the information in a engaging manner. It was an informative session with easy to follow demonstrations as well as the trainer drawing from their own experiences of delivering first aid in real-life situations which added to the day. I went away with video references that further assisted my understanding. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for an understanding of the requirements of a first aider.

Gareth Simpson

20:38 01 Sep 21

Sometimes these courses can feel like they drag on. This was very informative, yet made fun by the instructor while maintaining the understanding the seriousness of correct first aid.Great value for money, giving our staff confidence and well adapted regarding COVID restrictions

Sophie Mason

10:46 01 Sep 21

This course was fantastic compared to other first aid courses I have completed in the past. A very lovely, enthusiastic tutor who explained everything so well, great environment and relaxed approach. I will be booking again in 3 years and hope to book onto other courses with this company! Thank you!

Hazel Greenstiles

12:15 28 Aug 21

Jenny has got the knack of getting over the important facts about first aid whilst at the same time not giving out so much information to overload one's brain. The nuggets of information enabled me to think more deeply about the topics while remembering the knowledge I would need when involved with helping someone. I would certainly recommend this course to everyone who would like to feel more confident when helping someone. Thank you Jenny.

Huge thank you to Jenny and Nikki at The Bridge First Aid for delivering our First Aid at Work course to members of our team. From the initial enquiry to the completion of training it was a positive experience. Jenny worked with us to choose the right training for us and was flexible with finding dates. Nikki provided engaging, fun and most importantly memorable training and helped to build confidence to provide high quality, safe First Aid. We would highly recommend them for your training.

The quality of this course was good, professional with friebdly staff, good layouts and very informative course material. Communication was effective qnd organised well right from signup! The course layout was well and nothing wqs too much hastle for the instructor.

Ian Nunn

14:27 09 Jun 21

We had Nikki train a group of 4 of us; 2 who have already completed a first aid course, 2 who hadn't (me being in the latter). Her teaching style was very laid back, which helps the group relax and enjoy themselves. She was able to recall many examples with great detail, of previous emergencies that she was either involved with directly, or heard from other first aid instructors. This definitely helped us to remember signs, symptoms and correct courses of action when faced with first aid emergencies.She was patient and answered any and all questions we had, and we all passed with high marks.Couldn't recommend enough for anyone seeking first aid training, either for first timers or for refreshers.

Sarah Groom

Jenny came to do a first time/refresher course to our mixed group of youth workers and Community Centre managers. The course was interesting, informative and very practical about dealing with real life situations. It was also run strictly to Covid regulations. Jenny is very friendly and relaxed and happy to answer all sorts of questions and I finished feeling much more empowered and comfortable about having to deal with a first aid situation.

Liz Diamond

17:39 01 May 21

The Bridge First Aid for the workplace training was really excellent. I have been on previous first aid courses which were easily forgettable however the trainer on this course was knowledgeable and explained the content in terms of why certain methods are used. This made the content relevant and memorable. Every step was taken to be socially distanced and the use of the CPR dummies was done in a way everyone was comfortable with. I would highly recommend this Company for training.

Kacey Dean

Jenny was a lovely, easy to talk to first aid trainer. I feel like I learnt a lot in this session from the way she explained things so clearly and straight to the point with anecdotes.

James Lawless

21:23 14 Oct 20

I attended the blended 16hr course to obtain my Outdoor First aid certificate. Jenny’s style is engaging and underpinned by her own real-world experience which I found both reassuring and engaging. She was able to dispense advice using first-hand accounts as well as delivering what the course syllabus requires for the qualification. The blended part of the course was useful as I was able to listen to other experiences from people who were in the practical session renewing qualifications that weren’t necessarily outdoor related. I would definitely recommend Jenny.

Mel Campany

Jenny has been delivering outstanding first aid training to my nursery for many years now.
