Nick –
Informative and engaging Elementary First Aid course. Having received First Aid Training in the past, the team at South West Maritime Academy (to whom I was forwarded by the instructors at Palma Sea School) were a breath of fresh air.
Immersive training, personal examples, well led practical work and the chance to ask questions and perfect the skills.
Can’t recommend these guys enough – training as training should be.
Thanks!
