The Ironstone Wellbeing Centre asked FS Training Ltd to host a first aid course at Ironstone for our instructors and we all would honestly say it was the best first aid course we have been on. The training from Felice was first class, we learnt a lot and feel much more confident about providing help to our customers if an emergency situation was to arise. We would definitely recommend.

Felice was brilliant at delivering the peadriactic first aid course. In light of the current circumstances it was safe and all guidelines adhered to. Thank you Felice for your hard work. Myself and a colleague attended the course Monday and Tuesday and I have come away a lot more confident in being able to use first aid when needed.
