What Our Learners Say
“Bruce delivers first aid training for full time and part time staff of Play Action International on an annual basis. He travels to us, bringing a lot, but appropriate, equipment. He tailors the course to a very niche and specific need of ours; outdoors, hot climate, young people. It is always very engaging, professional, and up to date. His price is very competitive for such high class training.
Cannot fault and will continue to always recommend him.”
Play Action International
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I recently completed the Outdoor Pursuits 16 Hour First Aid L3 course with Invenio Training Ltd,
and I can honestly say it was an outstanding experience.
The instructor, Bruce, was absolutely fantastic.
He was incredibly informative and made sure to answer all of our questions with great detail.
His sense of humor and friendly demeanour made the course not only educational but also enjoyable.
Bruce made the content easy to understand and engaging, which is exactly what you want in a first aid course.
I highly recommend Invenio Training Ltd for anyone looking to gain first aid knowledge in the outdoor pursuits field –
truly provide top-notch training!”

Spinal Injuries in the Wilderness
For years, first aiders were taught one rule above all others: “Don’t move them!”
Back then, “immobilise the spine” meant collars, backboards, and keeping casualties perfectly still at all costs.
Fractures in the Outdoors
A broken femur (thigh bone) is one of the most serious injuries you can face outdoors. It’s not just a painful fracture – it’s a life-threatening emergency that can cause massive internal bleeding and shock
Why First Aid Matters for Riders
When you're riding, teaching, competing, hacking, grooming, loading, or simply spending time around horses, things can go wrong. Most of us accept that as part of horse ownership.
First Aid Needs for Instructors
Including Mountain Training, Paddle UK, and British Horse Society. When something goes wrong outdoors, focus turns to decisions — including first aid. This blog explains what the Health and Safety Executive expects across outdoor settings.

“Having done around 5 of these first aid courses with different providers, this is the best 16hr course I have been on.
Bruce made the weekend wizz past as he was so engaging and made the course really enjoyable.
There was lots of practical activities and most of the weekend was spent outside, where you can really put the theory into practice.
I would highly recommend this course, Bruce was a fantastic trainer, really knowledgeable and I came away probably the most confident in First Aid that I have from any course.
Thanks for a great weekend!”
