Es un curso que siempre he querido realizar. Todas las personas hemos de realizarlo, y debería ser obligatorio tanto en colegios, institutos, universidades y trabajos. Estoy muy satisfecha de realizarlo.

By Irene Villegas Santana on 1/26/2026

My experience with the course has been very positive. I have learned a lot about first aid, how to act in different emergency situations, and the importance of staying calm. The explanations were clear and practical, and I feel more confident in handling accidents or emergencies. The practical exercises also helped me feel more comfortable applying what I learned

By Andrea Sánchez Salas on 2/11/2025

The course was full of information needed to be able to perform first aid whenever we need it. You learn a lot and it's nice to have lifetime access in case you need to refresh your memory and everything you've learned.

By Winnie HO on 12/2/2024

Thank you for Emily's selfless teaching and education. She is very professioanl and experienced in sharing us her kwonledge to be an appropriate First Aider. I learnt a lot from her and bought a First Aid kit to practice! :)

By Sara Perulli on 11/20/2022

Sono davvero colpita dalla quantità di argomenti trattati. L'insegnante è davvero brava e simpatica. I link ai video esterni non sono sempre attivi ma si possono cercare video che trattano i casi e le modalità. Ottimo e super consigliato.

By Corey Mark on 7/11/2022

Yes, it's a good match. It would be helpful to be told at the very beginning that the first few sections are an overview, and that the quiz is to prep our focus. It seemed that I'd missed something, not knowing that the quiz was mostly pre-emptive.

By Shakella Dedi on 6/22/2022

Good course, I think had I have been new to first aid - I would have absorbed the information more effectively if conducted face to face, hands on, but okay for refreshing what I already know. Perhaps the settings and delivery of info could be a little more varied.

By Charmaine Holmes on 10/18/2021

I understood that I could do the online training and get a certificate to say I had completed an online first aid awareness course. Having got to the end I discover I need to attend a practical day in London or Kent and I live in another country. South Africa so I cannot do this. I did however enjoy the course, Emily is amazing and I learnt allot. I will need to find another course though to obtain the certificate that I require.

By Davina Fowler on 1/3/2019

Brilliant lots of visual learning and constantly going over the information so you really understand. Very good and easy to follow I really enjoyed the online part as i was still able to look after my 5 children and do various jobs in between too without worrying about childcare. Easy to follow as I had to stop every half hour lol. Thankyou Emily look forward to the practical part should be fun too.

By Beverley Dunkley on 6/5/2017

I found it very, very informative, however in Section 9 there was no video of the lesson. There were a few typo errors through the lecture which could be misleading e.g. page 45 Effects of Heat - Hot "treated a person could offer heat stroke"....'offer' should be 'suffer'
