“Very professional and superb value for money. Funky First Aid is a great ambassador for first aid training, thanks."

Paul Bailey, Snowdon Sherpa

“From my initial telephone conversation to the actual practical sessions, working with Funky First Aid at Hungerford Primary School could not have been easier. Holly listened very carefully to our training needs and devised three training programmes that suited our requirements. She maintained a professional manner at all times and adjusted her delivery according to her audience whether it was Midday Assistants, Teachers or children in school. Her friendly and approachable attitude put everyone at ease from the start and she ensured that the delivery was well paced with a good balance of practical and theoretical activities. I would not hesitate in recommending Funky First Aid Training to others.”

Claire Whittingham, Deputy Headteacher, Hungerford Primary School

“Extremely well taught, Instructor was brilliant, very helpful, practical and informative. Nothing was over complicated - which I found very important especially if you need to use information in stressful situations.  I especially appreciated the way that knowledge was gained and built on through a mix of demonstration, examples, theory and a lot of practising.  I would highly recommended this course to everybody.”

“Funky First Aid delivered an Appointed Person/ Emergency First Aid 1 day first aid course at the Sandy Lodge Hotel (Newquay, Cornwall) in September 2009. This was done in a highly professional manner with excellent feedback received from those in attendance. I would not hesitate to use Funky First Aid again in the future and would certainly recommend other organisations to do so.”

“I have known the trainers at Funky First Aid for several years. With a broad spectrum of previous roles in Health, Safety and First Aid - Funky First Aid has a commendable wealth of knowledge and experience which greatly benefits each individual/ organisation that they train.

When training clients, Funky First Aid Trainers are very personable and puts their students at ease - getting the absolute best from them, and I am more than happy to extend them my recommendation.”

 Dennis Wilton, Skin Ki Kai Martial Arts Centre

"Holly and myself met up prior to the training of the 60 Year 11 Btec students. Holly wanted to know every detail about the course and the expectations that were required from her in terms of the delivery of what was required. Holly came back with a professional presentation of both theory and practical content which meant that every student who completed the training was accommodated for. The training that Holly did with the students also allowed us to complete Witness Statement sheets for the Btec course. Holly was very professional with the students, being polite and patient with them at all times. The handbook that Holly handed out has also been completed by every student and has been used as evidence of another task with the unit.

I would recommend Holly to any school looking for some up-to-date information on First Aid (as long as its not at the same time as I am getting her in)."

Chris Steele, Director of PE and Dance, Sir William Stanier Community School        

"Holly is an excellent tutor and coach and I have no hesitation in highly recommending her to anyone."

Susan Haddock, National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ), Trainer/Assessor at Cheshire East Council

"I am happy to provide a testimonial for Funky First Aid.  In September 2009 the school bought into the services of Funky First Aid to delivered First Aid Training to all of our pupils in Year 9 on a 4 week cycle.  In addition, Holly provided training for BTEC students 14-16 and 16-19.  Finally, she delivered First Aid Training to teaching staff and midday assistance.  As a result of her input the pupils in 14-16 and 16-19 were able to demonstrate the highest levels of skills in their BTEC Sports and Public Services courses. The Year 9 students were taught critical skills, with reference to first aid which could be used both within and outside the school setting.

The courses are HSE accredited and are invaluable for 16-19 students who are expected to have a first aid qualification as part of their skills for part time or full time work.

Holly was completely reliable and always professionally prepared. She developed a positive relationship with students and achieved some very pleasing results. The feedback from students was positive and they appreciated the input that she made to their learning.

I would recommend Holly without reservation. We were fortunate to have her skills over the last year."
