I recently attended avonmore training solutions 3 day first aid at work course. The course covered everything you need to know and even a few extra tips.
Graham himself was well presented, on time and delivered the training to a high standard. He was also happy to answer any question you had and give easy to understand examples of the training in use. I would highly recommend Avonmore training solutions to anyone wishing to gain first aid experience.

After completing my CPR and AED training with your company I just want to say how impressed I was with your excellent training programme. You guys have such a wealth of knowledge and experience and delivered the course in a very professional but relaxed manner. I pray that I am never faced with the situation of having to use what I have learnt from your team but now know I am much more confident about what I need to do should the situation arise.
