| 26/03/2026 | I have completed multiple outdoor first aid courses and this was by far the best delivery I have experienced. The courses content was robust and relevant with David making every effort to tailor it for the diverse needs of the professional roles each delegate held in the room. His wealth of experience as a paramedic and work within healthcare was invaluable to understanding the practical application of each section of the course and the pitfalls of dealing with each scenario in the real world. A superb couple of days that flew by and gave me the confidence and reassurance of dealing with situations if they should ever occurs. Testimonial from Sam Reynolds, Teacher and outdoor education leader |
| 19/03/2026 | Peter was incredibly thorough, he was both informative and entertaining with wonderful real life stories thrown in to illustrate a point. I have learnt so much in 2 days and now feel confident that I can deal with an emergency when needed. I would highly recommend him and his course to anyone. Testimonial from Andrew Clews-Smith |
| 19/03/2026 | I thought the course was absolutely fantastic. Pete's friendly, approachable and a great teacher. The course gave me a lot more confidence when administering first aid and gave me a deeper knowledge of it. Pete incorporates stories from real life experience within the training, which normalizes first aid situations and reduces anxiety when you go into them. This first aid course is fantastic and I can't recommend it enough! Testimonial from Kit Nicholls |
| 19/03/2026 | Great course delivered well and the good weather helped :-) Testimonial from Richard Munro, South Lakes Skills and Ramps Collective |
| 19/03/2026 | I wonder if it's helpful to have a simple card that gives cause / symptoms / treatment for some major issues. For the conscious casualty going downhill situation... there's lots of things I'll forget. Testimonial from Jane Toothill |
| 11/03/2026 | Pete made the first aid training highly relevant to modern life and being outdoors. He delivered the content through storytelling, multimedia and interaction, which made the learning engaging, practical and easy to absorb. I especially appreciated Pete speaking about the importance of self care and awareness of our mental and emotional wellbeing after delivering first aid, particularly when trauma may have been involved. Hearing him share his own experience and speak openly about this, as a man, felt powerful and important. For me, that was one of the most valuable parts of the two days. Delyth Johnson Testimonial from Delyth Johnson http://www.becomingyourtruenature.com |
| 11/03/2026 | Thanks again Pete for your kind and pragmatic approach. It's an uncomplicated course, just as it should be. Testimonial from Charlie Shufflebottom, Outdoor Education Tutor |
| 27/02/2026 | Another great course delivered by Pete, updated and refreshed to todays requirements, definitely worth doing if you have never had first aid training, or need a refresher as things have changed. Testimonial from Daniel Stringer, Director, We Ride Bikes Ltd http://www.ridebikes.co.uk |
| 27/02/2026 | Excellent course as always. Pete's approach to training is brilliant. Its a hands on course that is clear, understandable and makes you feel confident and reassured. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Testimonial from Michaela Irving, Director, See Events Ltd http://www.see-events.co.uk |
| 27/02/2026 | As always the course was delivered with enthusiasm and a real depth of knowledge. Different to the last course and so maintained interest. Pete has a passion for the subject. Testimonial from Duncan Morrison |
| 27/02/2026 | It was really good that Peter, our trainer adapted the course to suit the trainees who had all experienced many previous courses. The results of recent research by Professor Mike Tipton was especially illuminating. Testimonial from Ian Oldham |
| 29/01/2026 | This training was far and away the best I have ever been on for first aid and I have been on many as a school pupil/swimming teacher/ lifeguard/ teacher. It was very engaging, real, affecting and did a brilliant job of combining lots of detail and information explaining bodily functions, scenarios and the "whys" of what we are doing etc while also paring things down to simple basics meaning I feel far more clear in my role as a first aider. The training covered so much; it related to my professional life of course but also very much to my personal life and brought into sharp focus everyone's potential fragility and the need for everyone to have these skills. A very powerful course that I would get both my very active sons to do if they lived locally! Thank you. I have lots to take back to school and to my family and friends. Testimonial from Nicki Bradbury, Head teacher, Nether Kellet Community Primary |
| 07/01/2026 | Pete's course offers a no-nonsense delivery that empowers participants to handle emergencies with confidence. By focusing on the essentials rather than overcomplicating the material, Pete ensures that life-saving actions remain memorable even in stressful situations. Highly recommended for anyone wanting practical, effective first aid training. Testimonial from John Cresswell, Head of Centre, Ghyll Head Outdoor Education Centre http://www,ghyllhead.org |
| 07/01/2026 | A brilliant course. Petes teaching style makes it easy to remember the key information to remember is a first aid situation. A valuable refresher, helping to reinforce learning previously covered, a reminder of things Id forgotten and an update of best practice changes since my last first aid course. All delivered in a comfortable and friendly environment with plenty of fun tasks mixed in along the way. Thanks Pete. Testimonial from Kat Hodgkin |
| 06/01/2026 | Thanks for a great course. I learnt lots. Not bad as I have done something like 30 first aid courses previously. Testimonial from Chris Harvey, Instructor |
| 19/12/2025 | I liked the pre eLearning work. it built a foundation for practical work. I also liked the way the trainer explained how the body works in given scenarios which provided context for understanding the response required. The course was really well delivered. Focussed but kept light enough to be absorbed. There was a lot to get through and it was very well paced. A very very worthwhile 2 days. Testimonial from Fiona Hammond |
| 19/12/2025 | Very well delivered, lots of variety and a great range of equipment to enable us to practice and keep us engaged. Lots of slides, with the views to provide a change of brain stimulus. Great course, thank you. Testimonial from Kath Finn, owner, Karma Cycling |
| 03/12/2025 | Excellent course, delivered to a mixed audience of doctors and lay people, which is a challenge, but one that was overcome successfully. Testimonial from Robin Jackson, Fairfield Nature Reserve |
| 01/12/2025 | Excellent course that adapted to the skill level and knowledge in the room, thus iterating us towards being better and more confident in talking action than a course founded strictly on a low baseline knowledge assumption. Petes ability of illustrate points though stories and examples as first responder and outdoor practitioner punctuated the course and brought to life the needed though processes and decisions. Testimonial from Christopher Binks, Partner and all other roles , Anyone Can LLP |
| 27/11/2025 | In depth and thorough training. I think the online module prepares you for the training. Testimonial from Stuart Wood, Rope Access Manager, SN-Group http://www.sn-group.co.uk |
| 23/11/2025 | Another enjoyable course which kept the delivery style and pace fresh and engaging. Plenty of background information, examples and details to help bring each topic to life. Great use of resources from experts in each area rather than loads of slides. Testimonial from Edmund Taylor |

Peter's style is really relaxed and welcoming, great delivery of relevant and interesting 1st hand and 3rd party accounts of real situations that really highlights the importance of the skill.

Testimonial from Edward Ennis, Rope Access Instructor and Supervisor, First 5 Access and Training |
| 15/10/2025 | Pete has excellent relevant background practical knowledge, which he freely shares when appropriate. The course is well supported with quality props and visual aids.

| 25/09/2025 | Another great course Pete Testimonial from Daniel Hinton, Headteacher, Sandgate School |
| 25/09/2025 | I thoroughly recommend Pete's 2-day first aid course. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, a very personable style, and lots of kit for participants to practice on. I started the course knowing next to nothing about serious first aid, and finished the course feeling confident that I could respond well to a broad range of potential incidents and save lives. Robert Luck, author and mentor Testimonial from Robert Luck, Author and mentor http://robert-luck.com |
| 19/09/2025 | Pete is fantastic! I was terrified of the course; I now have a "script" to use in situations and clear ideas of how to progress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the course and would do it again tomorrow! Pete's very practical approach gave plenty of opportunities to practise and his 'stories' were exceedingly useful and will inform my first aid and keep it in my mind for many years to come. Thank you Pete! Testimonial from Kath Becker, Assistant Development Officer, Rookhow, Lake District Group Accommodation http://https://rookhow.org.uk/ |

His courses are fun, thoughtfully presented, challenging and brilliantly organised. He is without doubt the best First Aid course provider that I have been taught by Testimonial from John Roelich, Retired Teacher |
| 16/01/2025 | The course was really insightful, up to date and interesting. I've done several courses with Pete now but I learn something new every time.

| 08/12/2024 | Pete did such a great job delivering the course and made us all feel at ease.

Testimonial from Vicky Haynes |
| 04/12/2024 | Pete was really good, approachable and knowledgeable Testimonial from Kath Smith |
| 27/11/2024 | This course is delivered in a friendly and concise manner ensuring that all the key elements (plus many others) are covered in an inclusive way using blended learning techniques.

Testimonial from Heather Thomas-Smith, Owner, Heathery Heights http://www.heatheryheights.co.uk |
| 27/11/2024 | Pete is an excellent trainer who delivers a well-paced and informative course. Being able to obtain a certificate towards my driver CPC is also very useful. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a simple, effective grounding in first aid. Testimonial from Scott Nixon, Freelance instructor |
| 23/11/2024 | This was the best course of any kind I have ever attended (and there has been a lot). Testimonial from Colin Hind |
| 23/11/2024 | I would suggest that there could be more opportunities to ask questions on future courses. I needed time to process new information, that challenged my previous understanding, before I could ask questions. I often found myself interrupting the delivery in order to ask a question. Subject content on cold water shock and hypothermia challenged my previous understanding so I need time to reflect on this. The treatment of open wounds also challenged my previous understanding. The course has therefore provided food for thought and subjects for further investigation. Testimonial from Gareth Moss |
| 22/11/2024 | super useful information, well-explained examples, great videos, stories, and practical elements. It is great how the trainer involves others to share their experiences and information. Testimonial from Jenny Brindle |
| 15/11/2024 | This has been by far the best first aid course I have attended. Petes timing and resources in the delivery of the course were spot on and kept everybody engaged and interested. His use of visual and actual resources helped me to relate the course content to real life situations and gave reassurance that I would be able to take appropriate action if it were ever needed. Petes open, honest and friendly approach engendered a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere within the group and his discussion regarding mental health (both that of the casualty and the first aider was a refreshing addition to a first aid course. Testimonial from Pam Drower, Molehill Adventures |
| 12/11/2024 | Thank you Pete for delivering high quality 16 hour outdoor first aid training. Great fun, very informative, learnt lots and we practised the techniques we were discussing over the two days. I have been on this course before, and will definitely be coming back in 3 years when I need to renew! Thanks again. Testimonial from Helen Ashton |
| 09/11/2024 | Very comprehensive and pragmatic course. Pete gives very clear reasons as to the whys of what to do for first aid. Testimonial from STEVEN DAY, Freelance Instructor |
| 08/11/2024 | A brilliant course delivered in a relaxed atmosphere. Great mix of different learning approaches with a very passionate facilitator, explanations, slides, group chats, telling us real life experiences, videos, scenarios. Testimonial from Samantha Parkin, Credit Controller for Impact Accounts Department, Impact International |
| 06/11/2024 | I really enjoyed the course and feel confident that I can respond appropriately in an emergency situation Testimonial from Louise Wareing, Teacher and CCF Officer , Lancaster Royal Grammar School |
| 05/11/2024 | Pete is an excellent trainer with an excellent breadth of knowledge. His delivery is engaging and I would firmly recommend him for any first aid training needs. Testimonial from Joshua McLeod |
| 20/10/2024 | Peter Cunningham's knowledge of first aid and the human body regards illnesses and treatment is excellent. I don't think Peter dodged a question during both days of the course. His method of teaching and hands on approach was faultless. I wish Peter and his family all the best for their future. Testimonial from Neal Lever, Moorland Leader http://Thewharfedalewanderer |
| 16/10/2024 | Really enjoyed the way you taught and some great clips to show everyone. The manikins with the app were great feed back for us all. Many thanks Testimonial from Helen Bramwell |

| 09/10/2024 | Pete makes the contents very accessible and interesting, in addition to giving us learners lots of practice time. This combination is brilliant for building up my confidence as a first aider. Testimonial from Karen Jaques |
| 09/10/2024 | Pete Cunningham's courses are always a pleasure to attend even if first aid is not always everyone's favourite subject! It is always helpful to get the latest insights and also to experience different topics getting prominence - expanding my awareness every time. The 'culture' of the course is always relaxed but purposeful and full of encouragement to learn. I always leave with a confidence boost that I can really help someone in need. Highly recommended! Testimonial from Tim Morris, Facilitator and Coach |
| 07/10/2024 | Just a really well run course, and Pete was a delight to learn from. Really engaged and lively, also loads of very relevant stories and anecdotes that put things into context. Testimonial from Kenny Smyth |

| 19/07/2024 | A Great course, with great content for the outdoor environment. With a realistic and sensible approach to delivering first aid in the outdoors. Delivered professionally by a highly knowledgeable and experienced instructor. I would highly recommend this course. Testimonial from Craig Jones, Professional and Commercial Sales Manager, Palm Equipment http://www.palm.equipment |
| 19/07/2024 | Good course. Pete used lots of real life examples, and explained everything with reasoning and logic rather than reciting the handbook. I think this helps the information sink in a bit better. Testimonial from Christopher Hemsley |
| 19/07/2024 | I thoroughly enjoyed the course - it was really interesting. I like the balance of practical, videos, information and scenarios. I felt like I learnt an awful lot over the two days and will definitely re-book next time. Testimonial from Nicky Edwards, Headteacher |
| 10/07/2024 | Thanks for making the whole process so low pressure but high quality. Testimonial from Andrew Warren, Teacher, The Queen Katherine School |
| 10/07/2024 | Really appreciated the trainer/ teacher's helpfulness as well as their knowledge about first aid in an outdoor setting. Testimonial from Andrew Richardson, teacher, RRMA |
| 09/07/2024 | Another fantastic course by Pete. I really like the real life experience and ongoing learning Pete brings to his delivery. An incredibly useful and no nonsense first aid course. Testimonial from Jamie Magee |
| 27/06/2024 | A fabulously informative and practical course, delivered with a great blend of appropriate, seriousness, humour and humanity. Pete held everyone's attention for the full two days and I'm sure we all left, knowing much more than when we arrived. Testimonial from Richard Usher, Director, Elm Court Energy Services Ltd |
| 26/06/2024 | Really liked the visuals used and real life situations this makes it more real applying first aid . Key points emphasised and the importance of engaging . Testimonial from Laura Couper |
| 25/06/2024 | Brilliant course, and Pete is an excellent engaging teacher and keeps things interesting. I felt the key thing that I hadn't got on previous courses was the how/why we need to do things, rather than just what the process is, to enable thorough understanding of the cause-effect (for example CPR and why going too fast/slow is problematic) and to help to properly remember the information. Testimonial from Niamh Lewis |
| 06/06/2024 | Not all learning is fun! This course, however, has a perfect blend of classroom based, experiential learning and a bit of humour. Testimonial from LEE IRVING |
| 06/06/2024 | This is a course I always look forward to. I flew back from NZ to attend this course! Incredibly informative. Everyone should do this course and more lives would be saved. Pete is a great speaker with lots of exciting, funny anecdotes and genuinely cares about helping other people. Thanks again, see you next time. Joe Flanagan Testimonial from Joe Flanagan, Flowstate Bike |
| 29/05/2024 | The outdoor first aid course provided a great refresher of my first aid skills and was such an improvement on the previous outdoor course I took three years ago in terms of relevance. Pete made the course interesting by providing multiple very relevant examples of different outdoor situations and how these were dealt with which. The equipment supporting the course was fantastic, with smart dummies for CPR practice, vests to practice the Heimlich manoeuvre, examples of outdoor shelters, protection and wound packing. Testimonial from Alexander Grove http://outmtb.uk |
| 24/05/2024 | Pete, it was a great course, thank you. Even though I'd done your course before, I still learned new things as well as consolidated and improved knowledge I already had. Also, some of the kit recommendations were helpful. Thank you. Testimonial from Paul Law, Milnthorpe Primary School |

Learned a lot.a balance of interactive and good old fashioned hands on teaching and learning. Testimonial from Jeffrey Fozzard |
| 08/05/2024 | I recommend Peter's courses very highly: he is an excellent and very knowledgeable teacher, who provides first aid training in a very accessible and understandable format. Thank you Testimonial from Sarah Elton, Teesdale Holistics / Yad Moss ski slope Link to student's website |
| 24/04/2024 | As ever a very good course. Pete Cunningham has excellent knowledge and experience of First Aid which is evident in his delivery of the course. Testimonial from David Channing, Mountain Leader and Army Cadet Force Officer |
| 23/04/2024 | Great first aid course, not once did I feel nothing wasn't explained clearly. I think this was due to Petes personal stories and experiences of the outdoors or just general experience that he or someone he knows has had to apply first aid. From a personal experience, its always better to have a trainer who has genuinely experienced the implementation of first aid first or any course they are delivering first hand and the fact that Pete has had many of these situations, made me feel reassured that, yes it will be stressful. But, taking that breathe and understanding that you can apply first aid to the best of your abilities, even when in the outdoor surroundings, that it is always better to do something, than nothing. Testimonial from Louise Makin, Trainee, Bendrigg Lodge |
| 12/04/2024 | The use of technology with the CPR equipment and seeing actual incidents on video. This made incidents more relatable and help appreciated the responsibility to be able to do something. Testimonial from Alison (Margaret) Wood, Governor |
| 25/03/2024 | This course course provided a comprehensive theoretical knowledge base to outdoor first aid. This was linked to practical demonstrations and practice. Video content of actual incidents reinforced the knowledge base. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. A course i would recommend to anyone. Testimonial from William Duncan |
| 22/03/2024 | A well paced course, lots of information delivered in a way that made it easy to understand without feeling like we were being overloaded. Testimonial from Chris Mawby, Reserve Warden, Natural England |
| 19/03/2024 | great and realistic course Testimonial from Douglas Walker |
| 15/03/2024 | Really enjoyed this course I arranged for our staff at Park Cliffe. Peter was a great trainer and delivered the course in a friendly, relaxed and informative manner. Found it useful to complete the online training prior to the course leaving you time to concentrate on the more practical elements of the course. Testimonial from Susan Dickson, Owner, Park Cliffe Camping & Caravan Estate http://www.parkcliffe.co.uk |
| 22/02/2024 | A great course delivered well, targeted specifically for the audience attending. Lots of differentiation in learning styles and incorporation of previous learning. Pete really brought first aid back to the basics to encourage and promote practical help in an outdoor environment is simple, and made it relevant to everyday life. A real confidence builder for all!! Thank you Testimonial from Laura Patrick |

| 25/01/2024 | Thank you for such an engaging and informative training, filled with hands on aspects, real life examples, and fun activities. It had exceptionally accurate CPR training with the aid of the direct electrical feed from the CPR dolls to your mobile device, to examine your skills. The training was interactive throughout, with a hint of competitiveness thrown into aspects, which really helped gel the participants of the course together. It was really beneficial to look at some great first aid products available on the market and test them on ourselves. Pete was approachable and extremely knowledgable. The tea/coffee/biscuit facilities and location for the training was also great. I Would highly recommend the course and provider and I look forward to participating in future training with Pete.

| 07/12/2023 | I did my first First Aid Course as a student nurse nearly 50 years ago and then much more first aid training in a TA Field Hospital over many years This is the best course I have attended The content was presented in lots of different ways in order to ensure our understanding - there was plenty of kit to practice on to gain confidence but best of all was our teacher Pete's absolute commitment to ensuring that we learned The whole day was great fun but more importantly I now feel confident that I have gained enough skills to be a competent First Aider - thank you Testimonial from Barbara Osborne, Trustee, Oxen Park Cinema Club |

| 07/12/2023 | A very well run and comprehensive course. Trainer Pete has a easy, relaxed style and paced the day very well. Testimonial from David Hamer |
| 06/12/2023 | A very well paced 2 day course that covered key points / areas of outdoor first aid. Delivery was engaging and varied. Pete was extremely knowledgable and kept all participants focussed and engaged in learning. There was an excellent mix of factual information, interactive quizzes, role play, practical examples, video clips. This combination maintained my attention and therefore increased my learning of the subject areas. Testimonial from Karen Greenall, M&T Adventures |
| 29/11/2023 | Very informative day, I've learnt lots of new skills that I am able to apply in real life situations!! Testimonial from Lola Armitstead |
| 18/11/2023 | Fantastic, informative, and engaging 1st aid course, run by Pete Cunningham. I learned a lot and gained confidence in doing things like CPR after practicing on the interactive dummies that gave feedback to assess the quality of our CPR. Testimonial from Hannah Clarkson Webb, instructor trainee, ROCK UK http://https://rockuk.org/ |
| 15/11/2023 | Thank you for an excellent course and dare I say making first aid fun, I just wish all courses were as good as this. Testimonial from Anna Garstang, Teaching assistant |
| 08/11/2023 | I've been doing first aid courses since I began in the outdoor industry 27 years ago, and this was certainly the best. The focus was in all the right areas, to make me feel confident giving first aid in both outdoor and indoor environments. I really appreciated Pete's passion for the subject. His curiosity to find the latest research really added to the experience. Brilliant - I'll certainly come back. Testimonial from David Haygarth, Mountaineering Instructor (WMCI), and coach. , David Haygarth |
| 08/11/2023 | Pete has a pragmatic approach to first aid and covers the subject in enough depth to make participants feel confident they can use it confidently and appropriately. A great course. Testimonial from Christopher Conley, CHRIS CONLEY COACHING |
| 01/11/2023 | The course was spot on and very professionally delivered by Peter. Top guy full of enthusiasm and very knowledgeable. Hit the nail on the head really with the contents of the course. Testimonial from Gavin Parker, Retired from full time work. Im a ML. |
| 31/10/2023 | First class training Testimonial from David Armstrong |
| 14/10/2023 | I've lost count of how many first-aid courses I've done in the past. Typically they are geared around helping you pass a test at the end in order to have the qualification required. Pete had a confidently and transparently different approach to equipping us as first-aiders. The emphasis on principles, and fundamentals, with a realistic dose of common sense and sound rationale for stepping in and taking the initiative was empowering and refreshing. Bearing in mind that the world is complex and unpredictable and therefore traumatic incidences tend not to happen in ways that fit a standard cookie-cutter response I feel much more certain I'd be a useful person to have around if things got serious and lives were at stake. Testimonial from Ian Woods |

| 10/10/2023 | A well delivered course which provided a good mixture of teaching, practical sessions and realistic videos. As a mountain leader the course certainly met my needs. Only hope I don't need it! Testimonial from Raymond Lathan Ball, Mountain Leader, Mountain Explorer http://www.mountainexplorer.;co.uk |
| 08/10/2023 | This was my seventh first aid course with Pete. He always manages to deliver all the information keeping it up to date and relevant and he always finds new ways of presentation keeping the course interesting and engaging. Testimonial from Rachel Eastwood |
| 06/10/2023 | well presented and informative course. Pete is really knowledgeable and his reflective stories are fascinating and informative. I will be using Pete for all my future training needs. Testimonial from Fiona Woodward |
| 02/10/2023 | After completing first aid courses in the past, I have never left feeling confident to put these potentially life saving skills into practice. However, after completing this first aid course I absolutely do! A very informative, hands on course delivered with an excellent level of knowledge. Thank you so much! Testimonial from Stephanie Townson |
| 06/07/2023 | Hi Pete, Just to say I enjoyed attending this 2 day first aid course. It was good doing role play telling us the casualty had a different problem than what you said. Top marks. I'll come back. Testimonial from Javier Simon |
| 06/07/2023 | Superbly organised and aimed at the level of the attendees. I learnt about several new products to add to my first aid kit. Testimonial from Carol Margaret McNeill, Coach, Lakeland Orienteering Club http://www.lakeland-orienteering.org.uk |
| 29/06/2023 | Great course delivered enthusiastically with real insight from the trainers' personal experiences. Testimonial from Paul Littlechild, Retired |
| 29/06/2023 | I've done a lot of first aid courses. This is the best one I've done. It maintains my interest throughout and teaches me without embarrassment. Testimonial from David Rowe , Assistsnt Headteacher |
| 27/06/2023 | Thank you for a very useful and very useable course. Testimonial from Claire Rushton, Teacher, LRGS |
| 22/06/2023 | A fantastic two day course that focuses on the needs of the learners. Pete is incredibly knowledgeable and delivers content with empathy, humour and no nonsense. Testimonial from Rebecca Coldwell, Learning Assistant at Carnforth High |
| 25/05/2023 | It was a shame the technology wasn't working correctly, as it would have been great to get the learners all on the same page and able to see their compression rates etc. Having said that, the session was interactive for the learners, which suited the class. Pete was extremely knowledgeable and could put a scenario to everything, making it real life for the learners. It was also nice that he took into account the sector the learners were working in and could resonate with them to an extent. I feel the learners got a lot out of it, even those who I thought wouldn't engage as well, engaged really well, and answered questions when asked. Testimonial from Nicola Hullock, Apprenticeship Facilitator - Agriculture , Kendal College |
| 04/05/2023 | Another really useful two days refreshing knowledge for first aid in an outdoor setting. Pete is a fountain of knowledge and brings a wealth of anecdotes and real life examples which bring the whole thing to life and really helps in the understanding of what to do. Thanks Pete Testimonial from Charlotte Somers Cocks, Retired, Impact Development Training - now retired |

| 23/04/2023 | Well delivered course very informative Testimonial from Lisa Swift |
| 28/03/2023 | it was a good course. instructor was very knowledgeable Testimonial from Kim Elder |
| 22/03/2023 | It was a great course. I feel like I'm more prepared to face the realities of a first-aid emergency should one ever occur around me. I left a lot more confident and knowledgeable than I arrived. It was definitely a worthwhile session. Testimonial from Jack McPhillips |
| 01/03/2023 | The course was very well delivered. Did exactly what I needed and everything was made very clear Testimonial from Richard Rothwell, Cycling Coach, Rich Rothwell Cycling Ltd |
| 14/02/2023 | Very enjoyable course delivered in a refreshing way, covering loads of content in an engaging way. Great effort Pete. Testimonial from Edmund Taylor |
| 08/02/2023 | A great Trainer who delivered the course at the right level for the audience. Testimonial from Martin Kenyon, Director of Training |
| 31/01/2023 | The course run by Pete was wonderful. It was very informative and enjoyable- I came away feeling confident to perform first aid and well-informed. Pete was very experienced and this came across through his delivery. Testimonial from Emma Farrell, Primary School Teacher , St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Ulverston |
| 26/01/2023 | I have been attending this course every 3 years for my whole career and each time I come away having not only refreshed my knowledge but learned something new or a new method of doing things I already knew. Testimonial from Robert Bond |
| 25/01/2023 | I have now done at least five of Pete's courses. He keeps updating the content to provide relevant and engaging learning for First Aiders. The courses really focus on what you need to know to preserve, promote and prevent. Extra faff is removed. The content is always evolving and key learning points are shared by a variety of presentations and styles. The practical sessions are particularly valuable. Highly recommended. Testimonial from James Bumby, Head of Centre / WCMI, High Borrans Outdoor Education Centre http://www.highborrans.org.uk |
| 25/01/2023 | This is my third course with Pete from First Aid Cumbria and I have done several courses with other providers over the years. First Aid Cumbria are by far the best and we send all our staff to them. I would urge anyone considering an "Outdoor First aid" course to take it with them Testimonial from Pat McGucken, Manager, Leisure Lakes Bikes Ulverston |
| 15/01/2023 | This was a very enjoyable and informative day. Pete was an excellent trainer, covered all the material in depth and kept our attention throughout the day. The exercises we performed for CPR were really good and should be lodged in my memory now. I came away from the course feeling confident that I could provide First Aid if it is required in future. Testimonial from Alastair Tholen, Director, EOA Systems http://www.eoa.co.uk |
| 15/01/2023 | This is an exceptional course and presented by a truly knowledgable and professional trainer, I can't recommend attending this course highly enough. Testimonial from Donald McWilliam |
| 02/01/2023 | Many courses now with Pete: this one great as always Testimonial from Nicholas Russell |
| 21/12/2022 | Well done Pete you could see you were struggling and had merciless peers in the room but delivered excellently Testimonial from Christopher Binks, Partner and all other roles , Anyone Can LLP http://www.anyonecan.uk |
| 19/12/2022 | I have attended numerous first aid training courses with Pete over the years. They have always been excellent, with a good balance of theory and practical advice. Pete continues to update his training with the latest research alongside his considerable experience in managing first aid situations, providing a course which is relevant, engaging and full of helpful practical tips. Testimonial from Rob White, EDI lead , outward bound trust |
| 14/12/2022 | I think the curse was tailored to the delegates knowledge and ability, and we covered the big, scary things in depth. Pete made things seem simple which gives me confidence to go away and feel competent to tackle a situation when someone is in serious tru0ble and needs help Testimonial from Henri Carew, Stables Manager, Lake District Calvert Trust |
| 14/12/2022 | Excellent training overall from an obviously very experienced practitioner and trainer. Equipment such as mannequins for CPR were high class with good technology (bluetooth feedback to our phones - excellent) which enabled all candidates to practice skills at their own pace. Testimonial from Chris Higgins |
| 13/12/2022 | An excellent course that happens to give a certificate that other people will use to tick a box. Real world advice from practical application to back up the theory and a non judgemental opportunity to put the learning into simulated situation - role play for those that don't like role play but are curious how they would react in an incident. Testimonial from David Pearce |
| 12/12/2022 | An excellent course.Particularly impressed with the app to check CPR. Despite my career in medicine and remote area trauma care, I learned new information, and refreshing of skills is always important.Pete was not "fazed"by the presence of two doctors in the audience. Testimonial from Robin Jackson, Fairfield Nature Reserve |
| 08/12/2022 | The course was enjoyable and very informative. In nearly 40 years of working in the Outdoors I have done over 25 first Aid courses and this one has been one of the best I have done. It was great that Pete tailored the content to what we all wanted / needed to know and didn't just plough through a set syllabus. An excellent course and I will be thoughly recommending it to anyone who needs a first aid course. Testimonial from Chris Harvey, Instructor |
| 08/12/2022 | The resources were extensive and allowed each participant time to operate each type of manakin, AED, bandages etc first hand to conduct active and practical learning. It was clear to see that Peter had a natural passion to deliver a 1st class first aid course. Peter spoke a lot about different scenarios and asked for audience feedback and participation. Not one situation will be the same as the next and it was paramount that Peter showed us how to asses and think "outside the box". I have been on many First Aid courses throughout my career and consider this the best yet. Thank you again Peter. Testimonial from Carys Grady, SEN nursery nurse practitioner , Blossom Trees Nursery |
| 08/12/2022 | Really knowledgeable trainer who kept things simple, clear and emphasised just what we needed to know. This is how first aid should be and great to get such clarity. Many thanks. Testimonial from Alex Stothert |
| 08/12/2022 | Absolutely fantastic course run by Pete, his enthusiasm for First Aid shines through and it results in a very informative and hands on course. Perfect blend of theory and practical elements and all the resources you get to use were super helpful in adding to the learning process. Would strongly recommend to anyone considering and has made me feel a lot more confident in my ability to administer First Aid! Testimonial from Matthew Walker |
| 04/12/2022 | I felt our trainer was realistic in the acceptance that most first aiders will feel unsure and awkward, but he gave us the confidence to try and do the best we can. Testimonial from Ian Oldham |
| 30/11/2022 | Really well presented first aid course. Pete knows his stuff and keeps up to date. I would recommend this course to others, and I will aim to do this again in three years myself. Testimonial from Laura Bath |
| 28/11/2022 | I thought the course was very well organised and very well delivered. Pete created a relaxed atmosphere allowing learning to take place. Pete is very knowledgeable and has some good real life examples to illustrate the course detail with. Excellent training..... Testimonial from Sally Hempsell, Conservation Grazing Manager/ Forest School Teache, Grazing Matters |
| 27/11/2022 | Great course. This is the fifth time I've renewed my qualification with Pete. Testimonial from Ian Rodham |
| 27/11/2022 | N/A Testimonial from Arlen Messam |
| 10/11/2022 | Pete delivered a course which ticked all the boxes! It was informative and suitable for the group of students. I particularly liked his style of delivery, combining slides, video and practical scenarios to meet a range of different learning styles. Testimonial from Kerry Stafford-Roberts |
| 05/11/2022 | Excellent course, very thorough with a wide range of teaching methods and teaching aids used to keep interest. Lots of hands on repetition of the important bits will help me retain the information going forward. Testimonial from Kath Finn, owner, Karma Cycling http://https://karmacycling.co.uk/ |
| 21/10/2022 | I have attended many first aid course by different providers. I also happen to come from a health care back ground and have worked in trauma teams and on intensive care units. I have often found on first aid courses that participants are taught information and skills that go beyond first aid, and while may provide them with information about a casualty it is often information they can do nothing with. Pete teaches in a refreshing and more appropriate way. He focuses on real first aid, with the importance of protecting, preservation and prevention being pivotal. He provides a straightforward and clear approach that is true first aid, and has avoided the pitfall a lot of first aiders fall into, which is showing off more advanced skills that go beyond immediate first aid. This course will leave you with a solid realistic base of first aid skills that can actually be applied in the real world as well as a clear understanding of when you need more than first aid. Testimonial from Emma Hamilton |
| 20/10/2022 | This was one of the most useful First Aid courses I have done. I learned a lot about the rationale behind certain actions which helps a lot in terms of decision making Testimonial from Stephanie Green, Head of Modern Languages, ASCL for ski trips, Austin Friars |
| 20/10/2022 | I feel Pete went above and beyond any first aid course I had attended in the past. Pete didnt just cover the essentials, he explained why and added real life experience. It is this experience that is valuable, whilst I have had some use of first aid it is not on the scale that Pete has. The combination of well paced teaching style, a mixture of practical and theory, plus real life experience made for a very good course. Testimonial from Mark Williams, IT Manager and Silver DofE coordinator., Austin Friars |
| 03/10/2022 | Deftly delivered by Pete. Engaging, pragmatic and clear. Good pace and responsive to questions. Testimonial from John Matthews |
| 02/10/2022 | Thank you so much Peter, you were an excellent trainer and were very easy to learn from. The course was never boring and was very informative with many "hands on" elements. Testimonial from Matthew Primmer, Senior Residential Support Worker, AWW |
| 30/09/2022 | Excellent course Testimonial from Philip Poole, Safety Advisor, Impact International |
| 30/09/2022 | The course made what can be a quite dry subject interesting, with a good mix of practical activities and talks/videos about real life examples. The Covid protocols were good. Testimonial from Alan Grace |

| 17/07/2022 | Thanks. A very practical, excellent course. Testimonial from David Davenport |
| 14/07/2022 | I enjoyed the course. Everything that was talked about was explained well. I understood everything easily. The room was bright and open and tea coffee and biscuits were available throughout the day. Testimonial from Ellie Stephenson |
| 29/06/2022 | Pete was knowledgeable, relevant and enthusiastic about first aid; he also provided up-to-date information and implementation of guidelines with anecdotal evidence. Thank you Testimonial from Deyna Hirst |
| 28/06/2022 | You have great stories to illustrate the course content, that kept me engaged. You gave lots of opportunity for us to contribute or ask questions, you are good at identifying skills and experiences in the learners that help to enhance the point you are making too. Thanks Pete. Testimonial from Alison Lehane |
| 22/06/2022 | Great 1 day course with for me had just the right amount of content, delivered at a good pace & pitch and the provider seemed well kitted out with training aids and equipment etc. Testimonial from Tom Slater |
| 20/06/2022 | The course was very interesting and allowed me to apply my knowledge of first aid to everyday situations. The way the course was delivered made it very applicable and relevant. Testimonial from Gillian Winters, Teacher, Cairn Education |
| 17/06/2022 | Excellent course with great content and enthusiasm from Pete. I really enjoyed it! Testimonial from Claire Bibby, Trainee Mountain Leader |
| 14/06/2022 | Pete is a great communicator and is very knowledgeable. He encourages you to think about what is really important and not to faff about! Testimonial from Charlie Shufflebottom, Outdoor Education Tutor |
| 09/06/2022 | Spot on! I will definitely return and recommend to others. Testimonial from Christopher Maycock |
| 09/06/2022 | Really great course,I have learnt a lot of practical skills and I was engaged in the course for the full 2days thanks for all your help! Testimonial from Samuel Ketchen |
| 24/05/2022 | I've been on several first aid courses over the years in a previous profession- this course was refreshingly different as it was full of real life examples, the chance to share and learn from the other student examples and role plays carried out in an informal but friendly way- very much recommended to anyone who wishes to learn practical outdoor first aid Testimonial from Graham Marshall |
| 17/05/2022 | A very organised first aid course delivered smoothly be an experienced trainer. A variety of different activities kept focus and helped learning. Lots of discussion. Would highly recommend. Testimonial from Catherine Benson |
| 04/05/2022 | Thank you for the web site resource issued after the event. It helps refresh the memory. Perhaps an agenda for what is going to be covered on the course with section headings that match the resource material on the web site will help me refer back to what I learned. Testimonial from Julian Rayner |
| 25/04/2022 | Keep doing what you are doing, great courses, great coach. Thanks for slipping me in at the last minute, saved my bacon and I'll get the online learning done this week Testimonial from Charles Sproson, Owner, Mountain Run http://www.mountainrun.co.uk |
| 22/04/2022 | Personally I prefer the indoor sessions. I find that the outdoor scenarios are useful but they are so hard to make real that I find them more of a game to figure out what i should be spotting and so miss things easily. I do not dislike these but i get more from the discussions. I wonder if you should do a share your first aid incidents type of session and what did you learn or what did you not do, what surprised you etc. I know that you pick up on some people's when they share these but inviting all the participants to share their experiences would be both interesting to learn from and listen to. Testimonial from Nigel Dykes, Nigel Dykes, BSc Outdoor Adventure & Environment, University of Cumbria Link to student's website |
| 22/04/2022 | The course is extremely practical with loads of great real life examples. Pete was brilliant at making the group feel at ease and able to ask loads of questions and share any knowledge that they had. Testimonial from Roy White |
| 09/04/2022 | A friendly and experienced trainer - it's nice to be on a First Aid course where the trainer has worked in the outdoors in the Lake District so understands the context. Recommended. Testimonial from Christopher Bone http://www.AdventureSolos.com |
| 05/04/2022 | A really well devised and delivered first aid course. Pete always explains the course material and key points in an effective way that can be easily understood and applied in real life first aid situations. Testimonial from Joe Eddleston, Owner, Country Adventures http://https://www.countryadventures.co.uk/ |
| 01/04/2022 | I would definitely recommend this course to anyone requiring a first aid course. It is well delivered with lots of visual material and principles that are easy to understand. Testimonial from Paul Trott, L3 Elec Tech, Access & Electrical LTD |
| 31/03/2022 | Thanks Pete! Testimonial from Des Bagshaw, St. Aloysius College |
| 28/03/2022 | Pete Cunningham delivers the course with very high quality content, detail and engaging presentation style. There was a really good mix of tutor explanation, video, powerpoint and real life footage to support the learning. The reduced amount of practical scenarios (due to covid limitations) allowed for a greater amount of time to be dedicated to the depth of information into different subject areas. Each section was very well though out and expertly delivered by Pete. Having the inclusion of the many different sources of video learning (from a wide variety of organisations) and also footage and images of real life scenarios is so valuable in preparing the first aider for possible encounters. The knowledge and experience of Pete shone throughout the course. Testimonial from Rosemary Thomas, Woodmatters http://www.woodmatters.org.uk |

| 10/02/2022 | It was really nice being in a warm venue with coffees and snacks. The equipment and resources were modern and relevant and we didn't need to share. Dave was really friendly and very knowledgeable and a brilliant teacher. It was nice to be around other friendly outdoors people learning. Testimonial from April Whiteley |
| 10/02/2022 | I thought the course was incredibly interesting and well delivered. It can't be easy to keep everyone's attention for 2 days straight, but I heard every word and felt the constant links back to real life experience made it very relatable and engaging. David was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. I've already recommended this course to colleagues. Testimonial from Madeleine Parsons, Primary teacher |
| 03/02/2022 | I would recommend this course to any of my friends and colleagues. Testimonial from Barry Heslop, Freelance; educational & outdoors |
| 02/02/2022 | I have attended numerous First Aid courses over the years. This is the second course I have attended with First Aid Cumbria. It is by far the best in terms of approach, with the extensive knowledge and experience of the presenter coming through in the sessions and providing a realistic and practical approach to situations where first aid may be required. Testimonial from Peter Terry |
| 02/02/2022 | Staveley Village hall is a better venue than the Pavillion. More spacious and more comfortable Testimonial from John Roelich, Retired Teacher |

| 18/01/2022 | As ever a practical insight into first aid. Testimonial from Ray Goodwin http://www. RayGoodwin.com |
| 10/01/2022 | Great course. Thanks Testimonial from Neil Mathews |
| 07/01/2022 | Well done. Good course. Years of working in outdoors it's good now that first aid feels realistic rather than teaching us to do things that seem ludicrous, or more importantly we'll forget, especially over time Ava when stressed Testimonial from Paul Platt |
| 06/01/2022 | Thanks Pete! Great course from which I learnt a lot of practical information. In the event that I am faced with situations where first aid is required, I will feel more prepared. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on hypothermia and mountain related first aid given where we live. Testimonial from Victoria Thompson |
| 06/01/2022 | As ever Pete delivered a fantastic 2-day session. Lots of practical learning backed up with the latest developments, anecdotes from medical professionals and adapted to real-world outdoor situations. Testimonial from Richard Talbot, Director, Mountain Equipment |
| 01/12/2021 | A really engaging, practical course that focused on 'being able to make a difference'. Thank you Testimonial from Colin Hodgson, Leadership Consultant, Dove Nest Group |
| 19/11/2021 | The best bit about this course is the opportunity to learn practical skills using the manikin. I have been taught CPR before, but it was so much easier to know if the technique was correct with the phone app and my own individual manikin. Thank you. Testimonial from Pauline Kaye |
| 12/11/2021 | Was a brilliant experience, I am so glad I got the chance to do this - the instructor made the course interesting and fun and ultimately gave me very useful skills! Testimonial from Tyler Millington, Graduate Intern Outreach Office, Hello Future |

| 07/11/2021 | Thanks for a great course Pete. Covered a lot in a day but all explained very clearly. Plenty opportunities for us to have a go whilst keeping covid safe. Great how the Annie's app works now, really helped getting a feel for the force needed. Testimonial from Kim Foster, Teaching Assistant |
| 03/11/2021 | I feel much more confident to have a go if I find myself in need of applying first aid. It is the sort of knowledge I hope I will never have to use but you never know. Testimonial from Chris Helliwell, Green woodwork tutor, Clervaux, Ruskin Mill |
| 25/10/2021 | Pete delivers first aid courses in a very participant-centric way, tapping in to the knowledge "in the room" and building on that - which is great for involvement and confidence. He covers a lot a content in an accessible way and is always available for individual's questions that pop up. First aid courses can seem daunting as there is always a lot to take in but Pete gets the input level just right so that participants can leave with belief in their abilities as confident and effective first aiders. Testimonial from Tim Morris, Facilitator and Coach |
| 22/10/2021 | Employee enjoyed the course, thought it covered more than the usual 1 day first aid training, enjoyed all of it. Testimonial from Gordon Harker, HSEQ Advsior, Stobbarts Ltd |
| 21/10/2021 | Pete delivered an interesting and interactive course to what can be, after many first-aid updates, a dry and repetitive subject. The materials and teaching were innovative and effective, especially in these covid safety-compliant times. Pete's professionalism, client care and understanding, underpinned the quality and realism of this first-aid course. A testimony to his outdoor experience and knowledge base. Testimonial from David Larkin, David Larkin - 40yrs of Outdoor Education and fun |
| 20/10/2021 | Highly recommended, having completed many first aid courses this was by far the best Testimonial from Michael Waplington |

| 17/09/2021 | Thanks Pete, great course as always. Driver CPC and First Aid combined in one is excellent. The practical skills and opportunities to consolidate the basics really sink the skill deep into the mind ready for (hopefully not) when you need it. Testimonial from Dan Robinson, Director, Real Adventure http://www.real-adventure.co.uk |
| 03/09/2021 | An excellent course with tons of theoretical and practical information! Testimonial from Sophie Smith, Assistant Warden, Cumbria Wildlife Trust |

| 19/07/2021 | The course was excellent and the instructor very knowledgeable and friendly. It was my first time on a first aid course and I came away from it with newfound confidence and awareness of what to do in emergency situations. Would use again for refresher training. Testimonial from Niamh Sheppard |
| 30/06/2021 | Pete is approachable and pragmatic in his approach to outdoor First Aid. Tells you everything you need and nothing you don't need. Thanks. Chris Testimonial from Chris Hillidge |
| 30/06/2021 | Always good to top up and revisit the different techniques but Pete always varies and updates the info so it isn't exactly the same each time. Worth travelling up to the Lakes for! Testimonial from Jane Stubbs, Head of Biology, Loughborough High School |
| 28/06/2021 | In liked studying the basics on line first and then spending more time on things like CPR and hypothermia Testimonial from Jim Akrill, n/a, n/a http://n/a |
| 28/06/2021 | Our trainer was friendly, helpful and informative. Information was clear and repeated just enough times to sink in without being boring. Conversations were relevant and informative but lighthearted enough to stop outcomes and procedures becoming 'scary'. Great course. Will definitely recommend. Testimonial from Kirsty Turner |
| 24/06/2021 | Pete pitches his courses very well. An enjoyable learning experience conducted in a very covid safe manner. Testimonial from Jason Waters, Giggleswick School |
| 21/06/2021 | As ever, a really good and comprehensive course for outdoor activity instructors. Very full and all topics well explained by Pete.

| 21/06/2021 | The outdoor first aid course was delivered using high quality kit, current 1st aid knowledge, and with great enthusiasm. Great value of money. Testimonial from Ben McNutt, Wild Human http://www.wildhuman.com |
| 17/06/2021 | This was an excellent course that gave us everything we needed to ensure we can assist our members (and anyone else) when we are required to deliver first aid. Testimonial from Liam Bibby |
| 16/06/2021 | It is a pleasure to attend this course. Relaxed environment to refresh first aid knowledge and to be confident you will be informed of any updates. Pete's knowledge never fails to impress Testimonial from Simon Mumford, teacher, clitheroe royal grammar school |

| 01/06/2021 | Awesome Testimonial from Rob Saint – Humphries, Outdoor Activities Teacher, Ghyll Head Outdoor Education Centre |
| 28/05/2021 | Thanks for such an engaging & interactive course Pete. Covid times have challenged us all - but through it you have stepped up and created some great adaptions. The individual boxes and tables gave me a safe & interesting space - and the smart Annies are amazing. I've done multiple courses with you. This felt fresh & new. And the chocolate biscuits were appreciated too. Testimonial from Joanna Roberts |
| 27/05/2021 | Taught by an excellent, emotionally literate trainer, this outdoor and paediatric first aid course provided coherent information about everything one would need to know to be able to render first aid effectively. Peter focussed on getting us to use all the information available when assessing a casualty, thinking about why we were carrying out a particular course of actions and knowing when we had to act really quickly. Even though I have completed several first aid trainings over the years, I learned an incredible amount and, more importantly, understand how to use this. Testimonial from Helen Brigham, N/A |
| 26/05/2021 | Good to get the course done. As seems to be the case with Active Aid I enjoyed it more than I expected. Testimonial from Winkelle ONeale |
| 24/05/2021 | Just to say, all was as good as I expected based on previous courses with the same trainer. Testimonial from Nicholas Russell |

| 13/05/2021 | Thank you Pete Testimonial from Lee Holmes, Course Director Leeds Beckett University |
| 13/05/2021 | Pete obviously knew his stuff, answered questions well and gave consideration to comments made by attendees. Testimonial from Christopher Roberts |
| 03/05/2021 | A hands-on and very thorough course, came away feeling I'd really grasped the principles of First Aid Testimonial from Lucy Baird |
| 29/04/2021 | Overall an enjoyable and informative course, with a good mix of learning methods. Loved the CPR manikins and I would have liked to spend more time on the baby as I had trouble getting things to work. I found it useful doing more on children and babies than I have on past courses. Testimonial from Amanda Halliwell |
| 29/04/2021 | Pete is great at conveying first aid information and embedding confidence to stick to priorities, keep things simple and deliver meaningful first aid - which is exactly what any first aider needs. Relaxed, knowledgeable and with lots of hands-on/"been there" experience. Tony Halliwell, WMCI. Testimonial from Anthony Halliwell |
| 27/04/2021 | A well presented course and given by a good to understand tutor. Testimonial from Harry Nelson, Facilities Co-ordinator, National Trust |

| 08/04/2021 | A great course and exactly what we needed for our roles and activities Testimonial from Marion Brown, Trustee http://www.ruslandhorizons.org |
| 06/04/2021 | Excellent course. The instructor was superb. I was extremely impressed (and surprised) by the technology in the "dummies", we got instant feedback on our smart phones on how we were doing when performing CPR on infants, children and adults. FAC's dummies "tell" you when you get it right! When performing First Aid it is critical that one can perform good CPR and the kit and instruction ensured we did. Superb teaching. Testimonial from Roger Chaldecott |
| 01/04/2021 | I like Peter's laid back, no nonsense approach to teaching. His medical knowledge is outstanding and he is an excellent communicator. I was also impressed by the amount of thought and preparation that had been done regarding the current pandemic. Testimonial from Steve Anthony |
| 30/03/2021 | I wasnt looking forward to the course, however i enjoyed and learnt a lot from Peter our trainer. He was thorough in his explaination's and answered any questions. I am more confident and more knowledgeable about the first aid tasks covered and explained in this course that are undertaken in everyday life. Testimonial from Michelle Finnigan, Catering Supervisor, Lancashre county council |
| 29/03/2021 | Due to Covid this was an unusually hands off course, but with individual equipment this course was kept friendly and safe. Peter has a great knowledge built up over the years and imparted some of this to us in a friendly and informative manner. Nothing was rushed and any question answered. A great course well run. Testimonial from Andrew Jones-Barnes |
| 29/03/2021 | I enjoyed course very much at first I was apprehensive as I have never done a first aid course but once I got into it I really enjoyed it Testimonial from Andrew Johnson, Cleaner for Lancashire County Council |
| 27/03/2021 | This will be the fourth course I have done with Pete, as always he makes the course interesting and fun. He never over complicates things like other courses I have been on. I feel this gives me the confidence to use first aid. Thanks again, see you next time. Testimonial from Clare Wooff, Witherslack Group |
| 26/03/2021 | The calm and positive learning environment created by the trainer supported learning for all and I came away feeling confident in the skills I had learnt. Testimonial from Rachael Thompson, Head of Therapy, Cairn Education http://www.cairneducation.co.uk |
| 25/03/2021 | Pete was a friendly, thoughtful and competent trainer, often able to relate the information presented to his own real life experiences. This helped interpret how the info found in training manuals could actually be applied most effectively in situations you may find yourself in when you need to call on this knowledge (hopefully never!). Best and most valuable two days training I have ever done. Wholeheartedly recommend Pete at First Aid Cumbria. Testimonial from James Cowan |
| 25/03/2021 | The most practical and comprehensive first aid course I have done. Peter is knowledgeable and the resources available to help you practice are relevant and up to date. I would certainly recommend this course and will use again in the future when it is time to renew my First Aid Certificate. Testimonial from Lucie Kelly, Head of Education, Cairn Education CIC |
| 25/03/2021 | Excellent Course. Carefully and safely adapted for Covid times. Henry Farrar Testimonial from Henry Farrar |
| 11/03/2021 | I'd highly recommend. This was my first time doing a course with Pete. The course content was fantastic, the days were very enjoyable and they covered a wide range of learning. It was delivered by Pete incredibly well and during Covid, I felt safe on the course in the venue and the course covered plenty of self-led practicals too. This mixed course approach should be considered in future. Areas I have not covered before on other courses such as heavy bleeds was something particularly useful to learn about. Testimonial from Eve Mulholland, Engagement Officer, Cumbria Wildlife Trust |
| 11/03/2021 | Great course. The information on paediatric first aid, although not in my area of work and activity was very helpful and informative. Testimonial from David Meredith, Forestry and Arboriculture Instructor/ Assessor , David Meredith |
| 03/03/2021 | A great few days. The online is excellent. Testimonial from David Yardley |
| 02/03/2021 | Very COVID safe and appropriate - thank you Testimonial from Malcolm Wade, Owner, Lakeland Mountain Experience Ltd http://Lakelandmountainexperience.com |
| 08/01/2021 | I thoroughly enjoyed the course and even with covid restrictions, I was able to learn a huge amount. Testimonial from Will Davies, Outdoor Instructor |
| 21/12/2020 | I think Pete did a stellar job of delivering the course, especially with respect to having to mitigate the risks of Coronavirus transmission. Even though it was not possible to perform first aid procedures on each other, I think he managed the situation excellently. I also felt extremely safe with the Covid measures he had put in place: for example, desks 2 metres apart from each other, sanitising material constantly available for personal use and for the cleaning of first aid equipment, having good ventilation in the room and gentle reminders on applying Covid safe practice. I would highly recommend First Aid Cumbria to others. Thanks Pete! Testimonial from Tracy Cumberbatch, Reserve Warden, Natural England |
| 16/12/2020 | Pete Cunningham delivered another excellent First Aid at Course. The blend of elearning, discussion time, videos and the level of knowledge shown ensured the course was relevant, and well paced. The practical element of the course covered all the key areas, was well resourced and even used new digital tools that made learning interesting and more enjoyable. It is always refreshing to see that the course is constantly being updated and I would recommend it to others. Thanks Pete. Testimonial from Fergus Ogilvie, Teacher, Giggleswick School |
| 06/12/2020 | Thank you for providing a course in such uncertain times. It means that I can continue working and earning. The teaching was practical and applicable to the wide range of people in the room. Everything was clear and precise. Testimonial from Alice Phillips, Outdoor Swim Guide, Always Swimming Wild http://Coming Soon.... |
| 04/12/2020 | Covid precautions were managed very well - I felt safe and comfortable and I liked having my box of goodies and ResusiAnnes all to myself! Perhaps continue with this after Covid? Testimonial from Clara Fleming, Mountain leader and walking guide, self employed |
| 30/11/2020 | Best first aid course I have yet attended. What I learnt will 'stick' better than ever. Testimonial from Simon Kirkwood, Grower, Growing Well |
| 29/11/2020 | It was very well organised and thought through .With Covid in mind , the venue was a very safe place and it was good that we all had our own space and equipment.Thank you Testimonial from Sally Ineson |
| 27/11/2020 | Pete was absolutely superb and the provision (COVID-appropriate) was so thoughtful. Definitely the best First Aid course I have been on. Testimonial from Mary Smith, CEO, Growing Well http://www.growingwell.co.uk |
| 24/11/2020 | Hope Pete is still running it in 3 years time if I need to refresh. Testimonial from Richard Storton |
| 21/11/2020 | Pete delivered the training In a very professional manner,as always, whilst ensuring it was fun, which is important, especially when covering such important and potentially life saving training. Thanks for a great course! Testimonial from Louise Smith, Nursery practitioner , Blossom Trees Nursery |
| 19/11/2020 | I really enjoyed this course. The blended learning meant that I began the two practical days feeling like my knowledge was already refreshed. The two days then allowed us to discuss things further and try the skills and techniques that we were learning about. Pete is a great trainer who explains things clearly, with an appropriate sense of humour and at a good pace. I would very much recommend this first aid course. Testimonial from Sarah Norton, Wray With Botton Endowed School |
| 06/11/2020 | This is the best first aid course I have done. Pete is so well informed and passionate about first aid and this really came across in his delivery. I really enjoyed how practical the course felt. Having our own adult, child and baby mannequin to practise CPR on alongside use of an app to self assess, really helped me to gain confidence in this skill. I also found the catastrophic bleed section incredibly useful and loved practising direct digit pressure and packing on the squidgy wound cubes. The videos Pete used over the course of the 2 days were all very engaging and helped to cement my learning. The content and Pete's delivery both really helped to simplify all aspects of first aid and I definitely feel like I won't be forgetting the basics as quickly as I normally would. Also, I felt utterly reassured by the Covid risk assessment and policy that Pete had put in place. Testimonial from Beth Griffith, Trainee Tutor , Bendrigg Trust |
| 05/11/2020 | A really enjoyable course and extremely well delivered given the limitations of covid-19. It was really valuable being able to practice the practical and contemporary aspects of First Aid using the training equipment. Pete went to significant effort in creating a safe learning environment with every attendee working with their own training equipment at an individual work station in a spacious venue. Testimonial from Darren Axe, Sustainability Manager, MLS, MLW, IML , Freelance International Mountain Leader http://https://darrenaxeimlfrgs.com |
| 04/11/2020 | I have done many first aid courses before and Pete is always very good at delivering a worth wile course for outdoor professionals. It also felt very covid safe. Testimonial from Nigel Edwards |
| 24/10/2020 | Thanks Peter, After completing 15 or so first aid courses they can become a bit tedious, yours was not! The relaxed atmosphere, flexible approach and use of different media made learning interesting and stimulating, a very enjoyable course. I will not hesitate to book again in 3 years time. Testimonial from Ben Reinsch |
| 23/10/2020 | Thanks for a great course! It was a very thorough overview of First Aid - especially as it included an e-learning module - and was delivered in an enjoyable, interactive and pragmatic way. Testimonial from Amy Boud, Playful Nature http://www.playful-nature.co.uk |

| 13/10/2020 | Pete's attention to detail is second-to-none. Even during a pandemic, he delivered a richly rewarding course which left me brimming with confidence to deliver First Aid as soon as I walked out of the door. Testimonial from Jonathan Wolfendale |
| 11/10/2020 | A very informative, thorough and practical course. Testimonial from Fiona Roberts, Teacher of Outdoor Education, Windermere School |
| 09/10/2020 | The blended learning approach allowed me to prepare and focus ready for the course itself, which I thought was really helpful. I also thought the bluetooth resuss manakins combined with the QCPR app gave really useful feedback on how well we were performing CPR. Testimonial from Stuart Peacock, Expedition Manager, Adventure Peaks Ltd http://www.adventurepeaks.com |
| 08/10/2020 | Thanks for making the course enjoyable. It really helped going through the sections and putting them into practice rather than just completing it online. Testimonial from Charlotte Graham |
| 08/10/2020 | Pete made every effort to ensure that the course was tailored to the learners needs. The adaptations made in light of Covid were appropriate. Pete found a fantastic balance of reminding us of these adaptations without allowing the course to be overshadowed by them. I'll be back in 3 years! Testimonial from Robert Kendrew |
| 06/10/2020 | Great course and content. Pete is brilliant and delivers an engaging and informative course. Recommend highly! Testimonial from Cara Parker |
| 05/10/2020 | Pete is an expert communicator with an wide ranging experience of teaching and using First Aid. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to know more about first aid in the outdoors. Testimonial from Steve Bell |
| 04/10/2020 | Excellent course. Really useful and I feel confident that I would be able to tackle the scenarios I am most likely to encounter. Testimonial from David Yates, Lancaster Royal Grammar School |
| 03/10/2020 | Pete delivered a fantastic course; totally up to date, engaging and delivered clearly and with a very human touch. Every course I have attended with Pete have managed to bring in new elements and increase my first aid knowledge, whilst covering all the basics thoroughly. The covid-secure measures he has in place this year are second to none - I felt extremely safe throughout the day. He has employed good alternatives to the hands-on close contact elements of the course. In summary a fantastic course with a good balance of activity, visual aids and direct teaching. Thank you Pete! Testimonial from Kate Phillips, Finance Director, The Lakeland Climbing Centre Ltd http://www.kendalwall.co.uk |
| 30/09/2020 | Pete is an excellent Trainer and he always manages to bring something new and fresh to the course.

| 30/09/2020 | This was my third Outdoor First Aid course with First Aid Cumbria. I was really impressed with the modifications for COVID security and the new CPR training app, which provided instant feedback and fun competitiveness within the group! Testimonial from Heather Ohly, International Mountain Leader |
| 30/09/2020 | I think this is the 6th course(?) I have done with Active Aid. I keep returning because the quality and content of the courses I have attended have never been matched by other providers I have used. Testimonial from Huw Davies, Head Teacher , Ghyllside School |
| 30/09/2020 | I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking practical knowledge and a foundation in outdoor first aid. Peter has a great delivery style, personable and interactive, and coupled with his wealth of practical experience meant that this was a highly informative, relevant and engaging course. Thank you! Testimonial from Louise Yates, Director and Coach, Clear Perspectives Ltd http://www.clear-perspectives.co.uk |
| 30/09/2020 | I was a little apprehensive about attending a First Aid course with Covid restrictions. I felt safe throughout and the course was much more engaging than I anticipated - even without as many practical sessions as usual. There was plenty of individual equipment to practice with which ensured I felt I learned and recapped as much as I needed Testimonial from Rebekah Beadle |
| 30/09/2020 | I have done lots of first aid courses and this is easily the best due to its practical nature and the detailed knowledge of the instructor. Testimonial from David Rowe , Assistsnt Headteacher |
| 27/09/2020 | A great 2 days well spent. Thank you. Testimonial from Phil Irwin |

| 02/09/2020 | Pre course I was prepared to be disappointed due to problems caused by Covid. Post and during the course I was very impressed with the way Pete ran the course. It was kept professional, enjoyable and relevant despite the restrictions imposed by Covid. Testimonial from Joseph Robson, chainsaw/ forestry trainer/ assessor etc., Roebuck Forestry Services |

| 26/08/2020 | great course, the trainer was very knowledgable, the course was very interactive and was presented in a simple, understandable way, the resources and the hands on element was excellent Testimonial from Kristopher Wilkinson, Rehab Coach, Calvert Reconnections |
| 25/08/2020 | Petes course and knowledge of the different areas is amazing. He did everything Covid compliant and it was still so much fun and so informative. I loved the use of "hands on" equipment along side the powerpoint with the intermittent moments of practicing skills throughout, "The cube is bleeding again!" Testimonial from Stephanie McGowan, Rehabilitation Coach, Calvert Reconnections |
| 25/08/2020 | Thanks Pete for creating a great first aid course, with a good mix of practical and theory, improvising to keep things interesting and still very safe during Covid Your friendly approach to the subject created a learning environment where we felt interested, at ease and I think everyone contributed to the course and felt comfortable , even during the CPR bits, I didn't feel under pressure or put on the spot, but able to practice in my own time and now feel much more confident Testimonial from Henri Carew, Stables Manager, Lake District Calvert Trust |

| 01/03/2020 | Just wanted to say that I was impressed with the tutors. Debs and Trish both had a very good style and were very good at clearly explaining what they knew and what we needed without adding excessive detail. They clearly knew more but were careful to keep things clear and simple. This was further emphasised by Debs as she kept referring back to the key points whenever we had problems to solve. Testimonial from Gareth Thomas |
| 28/02/2020 | Thanks for a great course which featured active participation and clear information from knowledgeable trainers. It was easy to learn in a friendly but focused atmosphere and the delicious lunch at the pub was a bonus. Testimonial from Tania Lemmey |

Anyone considering attending a First Aid course should look no further than Active Aid. Testimonial from Andy Hope |

Testimonial from Sally Hempsell, Conservation Grazing Manager/ Forest School Teache, Grazing Matters |
| 09/02/2020 | See above. Testimonial from Julie Harpham |
| 04/02/2020 | Trish was knowledgeable, likeable and pitched the content at just the right level. She was obviously a total natural in her field of expertise with a wealth of knowledge and a really personable way of teaching, making the course 'fun' when appropriate but also emphasising the serious nature of the content. Her experience as a nurse shone through but wasn't intimidating and didn't try and scare us with gory stories which I have had in the past from previous trainers, she just shared good examples when appropriate. From a practical point of view, all equipment was of a high standard and in good working order and the schedule was well organised and thought through with enough variety to keep us all engaged. Most importantly, I have been left feeling really confident in my first aid knowledge and feel I would deal with a situation to the best of my ability should one arise. I have been on a lot of first aid courses and Trish was by far the best trainer I have ever had. I would never have guessed she had been only teaching to 'non-medical' students for a few months (I think this is what she said!) Testimonial from Laura White |
| 01/02/2020 | We arranged an in house one day first aid for our therapists at Mountain Massage Company. The course was easy to arrange, and covered everything we need to be safe and able to help others. The course provider was knowledgeable and fun. I would definitely use your company again. Thank you. Testimonial from Hazel Clark http://www.mountainmassageco.com |
| 01/02/2020 | We need to have a valid first aid certificate for our practice and this was fun and informative. Debbie was a great instructor. Testimonial from James Clark http://www.mountainmassageco.com |
| 31/01/2020 | Trish was highly knowledgeable and made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the course. The day was timed well giving a break at a good time, and breaking up sitting and reading/ listening with getting up and 'doing' and putting knowledge into practice. Fantastic course, I feel a lot more confident I would know what to do if an incident occurred. Testimonial from Anna Butler |
| 30/01/2020 | I have attended First Aid courses in the past but the course with Trish was by far the best. I felt incredibly engaged and there was the right balance of presentations and practical assessments. Testimonial from Stephanie Coxon |
| 30/01/2020 | Well delivered by friendly knowledgeable people, with enough up to date equipment to cater for large groups well. Testimonial from Danielle Chalmers |
| 17/01/2020 | Overall one of the best FA courses I have done. A nice informal delivery style with plenty of time to discuss ideas and thoughts. Also very good value for money compared to many FA courses. And a pub lunch included, what's not to like! Testimonial from Robert Richardson http://www.terravia.co.uk |
| 15/01/2020 | Trish and Deb complemented each other well with their different backgrounds. There was a good balance between practical sessions, instruction and discussion. Trish and Deb created opportunities for us as students to learn from each other. There was no unsatisfactory rushing through the syllabus to get it "covered". Testimonial from Ian Oldham |
| 09/01/2020 | Peter presented the course very well, with humour and knowledgeable enthusiasm. Considering the amount of information which could be covered, the content was very sensible and helpful. Testimonial from Margaret Watson |
| 13/12/2019 | Excellent course, as always. Testimonial from Anne Platt |
| 13/12/2019 | A great course and delivered at the right level Testimonial from Martin Kenyon, Director of Training |
| 12/12/2019 | This course is a practical one which looks at covering the fundamentals of first aid extremely well. The course delivery is excellent, and the trainers have a breadth of knowledge and experience to match the training to your (often niche) circumstances. Testimonial from Robert Bowyer |
| 12/12/2019 | I've been on 4-5 other First aid courses over the years, with a range of providers, but this was the best. The approach was effective and a good learning environment, with lots of practical elements. The use of technology with the resuscitation dummies gave a lot of confidence that you were doing it sufficiently well to be effective. Testimonial from Tony Jolly |
| 05/12/2019 | This course was ran in a professional manner, with the tutor clearly able to adapt and tailor i to suit the class. The Venue was great and the views well worth taking this course just to see.If anyone is seeking a similar course i would heartily recommend this one. Testimonial from Scott Edmondson |
| 05/12/2019 | Useful mix of practical first aid and theory to back it up. Pete's knowledge and experience from a wide variety of settings is great. Good interaction and use of particular strengths from participants too to put the course into context. Thanks for another very useful course. Testimonial from John Douglas, Senior Instructor |
| 05/12/2019 | This was a refreshing approach to first aid, direct and informative without being overwhelming in its content. It was easy to see the wood for the trees and know what is really important in any given scenario. The use of resuscie annies, one to each participant and the ability to get instant feedback via my android phone was so useful in improving my technique in giving CPR and seeing the workings of the defibrillator was really helpful. An enjoyable day. Testimonial from Betina Mitchell |
| 30/11/2019 | Cumbria First Aid provided a one day course for our volunteers from the Fairfield Association Nature Reserve. Twelve of us attended and the cost gave our Charity very good value. From previous training we knew that we would receive top quality training from a man who knows his stuff and how to present it. Testimonial from Ian Procter, Volunteer Organiser, The Fairfield Association, Lancaster |
| 19/11/2019 | There were aspects of this course which were new and challenge perceptions. It was welcoming and well catered with some very good interactive resources. Testimonial from Sarah Smith |
| 18/11/2019 | Pete delivers an engaging and inspiring First Aid course. His simple yet detailed delivery helps to reinforce previous knowledge and increase confidence in First Aid situations. His knowledge and resources are current and interactive. Testimonial from Beth Swait |
| 14/11/2019 | Pete provided a good mix of practical and theory. He is knowledgeable and passed that knowledge on well taking on board the skills and attributes of the course participants. Testimonial from Kerry Stafford-Roberts |
| 13/11/2019 | I am fully retired and have no legal requirement for a certificate. I do this course purely because competency in First Aid is a priority for me. That this is the third course I have done with Peter should speak for itself. Testimonial from Gus MORTON http://www.funalps.com |
| 06/11/2019 | Excellent, informative course that has a lot of elements that relate to working in the outdoor industry and many other aspects of working and first aid for general living. Testimonial from Keith McGregor http://kjmcgregorcoaching.co.uk |
| 03/11/2019 | Great course thank you. Testimonial from Stephen Banks |
| 01/11/2019 | This was the first formal first aid course I've ever attended, and I feel much more confident after it to step up and try to help someone in need of first aid. Advice was detailed but digestible and useable, even in an outdoor situation. Pete was friendly, helpful and created a great learning dynamic with a lot of dialogue, active engagement and opportunity to use and practice techniques. Even after lunch, we were all engaged and the session was never dull and always useful. I would definitely recommend. Testimonial from Christopher Witter |
| 01/11/2019 | A thorough and enjoyable course with a mix of classroom and practical aspects that meant everyone from first-time first aiders through to experienced mountaineers learnt something new. Testimonial from Andrew Williams |
| 01/11/2019 | Very worthwhile. Hours added to CPC plus the first aid qualification needed for Fell leadership Testimonial from Geoff Osborne, Tour Guide, MountainGoat |
| 31/10/2019 | Am indebted to Pete Cunningham for the way he led this Ist Aid course using both personal experience and his extensive knowledge of real life situations I would likely come across. We had time to practice and repeat key elements both in the classroom and in the outdoors. Pete kept the information simple but relevant and balanced humour with concern for the vital information I needed to hopefully be an effective 1st aider. A pub lunch, copious tea and biscuits and some useful equipment takeaways were very welcome bonuses. This is my 2nd course with Pete and would have no hesitation in booking again Testimonial from Paul Harris |
| 31/10/2019 | Peter our instructor for the 2 day outdoor first aid course. Made learning easy with his manner and knowledge. I would recommend this course to anyone. Many Thanks John Testimonial from John Aktinson, OC ARMY SECTION, LRGS CCF , LRGS CCF |
| 18/10/2019 | Pete Cunnigham is an outstanding course director. He makes all aspects of first aid relevant to the outdoors, using his vast experience as examples. I finished the course with a much clearer understanding of all aspects of first aid which I am responsible for. Testimonial from Robert Bond |
| 18/10/2019 | Great in all respects. Very many thanks. Testimonial from Cathryn Lee http://https://www.peakwalking.com |

| 10/10/2019 | Great course, lots of detail when needed, Pete explained everything really well and had great coffee too ???? thank you Testimonial from Stephanie Jackson |
| 02/10/2019 | A very enjoyable and practical day. The resuscitation practice with the smartphone app was something I had never done in 30 years of first aid courses and probably the most useful practical guide. Testimonial from Sarah Winter |
| 02/10/2019 | Pete in an excellent teacher. His knowledge is extensive and is presented in an clear and interactive manner. Procedures are taught in a simple and memorable way with great use of verbal images to give understanding and confidence. Highly recommended.

The instructor was marvellous, so knowledgeable and very approachable which makes learning a pleasure. The course content was great and I came away feeling confident that I will be able to use what I have learned with confidence. Testimonial from Judith Knowles |
| 11/07/2019 | This course was really well delivered in an honest and simple way. I feel enriched with knowledge I did not have before and am confident that if I am ever faced with a situation where someone needs First Aid, I know that I could do it!
