Testimonials

“Was pretty reluctant about doing 7 days of first aid but was pleasantly surprised at the good mixture of scenario and classroom based work. Thanks for a great experience. I feel heaps better about taking kids into the outdoors and more confident in dealing with what-ever nature & unpredictable kids throw my way.” Alli 2009

“Realistic scenarios, which helped in involving a hint of emotion and real life situations. The amount of scenarios also helped in gaining confidence in extended patient care.” Dan Vic 09.

“Great way to learn practical skills and two great instructors who were able to give real life experience and honesty to the information. Thanks for a great week” Olivia 2009

"I think the course was great in the way it aimed to teach well the stuff we are likely to remember rather than force feeding piles of info that we would forget a week after the course" - Andrew O. Tassie '04

"I loved the amount of practical scenarios throughout each day, each relevant to the lesson we had just been discussing in the "classrooom". The night scenario was a very good learning experience and very realistic. Not too much technical jargon thrown at us - makes it easier to understand." - Emma Tassie '04
