“I recently attended the 16 hour outdoor first aid course with Bruce. This is the 6th one of these courses that I have attended, all previous ones were with various providers. I can honestly say this one was hands down the best course I have attended by a long way. Bruce has exceptional knowledge and real world experience of the subject matter and provided a really practical and hands on approach to teaching first aid. I highly recommend this course to new and experienced first aiders. Thanks Bruce, I will be back!”
