Course Comments...

Below are comments from previous customers who have taken this course. If you have taken this course with us within the past six months please feel free to post your comments.

"Until you do this course your eyes won't be open to how fragile the human body is. So to know some rudamentary EFR that might someday give someone in trouble a chance at surviving is useful.

Excellent course and quite scary if your trapped in a mindframe of invincibility.

Brilliant anecdotes to help remember the material.

I would recommend that you do the course even if you don't want to do the rescue diver course afterwards."

From Richard Annett, course taken March 2009

"Rob, I'd just like to extend my thanks for your wealth of experience and professionalism in delivering the EFR course.

The use of REAL world examples throughout the course was a big help in learning the many new skills that could help save someones life.

I felt the practical session was a really strong part of the course and as ever you managed to inject a sense of realism into what we we're doing. For me this focused home the importance of what we were learning. Really hope I never need to call on these skills but if I do I now have the knowledge, skills and confidence to know I can help.

All that being said I'll still be wary if I see you in Tesco's car park!

Thanks again
James
