1. Presenter Dallas was extremely knowledgeable and his first hand accounts of attending incidents brought home the importance of having first aid training

 

2. Training was concise, to the point and knowledgeable

 

3.  Far and away the best First Aid Training I have been too.

 

4. Dallas engaged the group with his ability to recount past accounts in his time with the NSW Ambulance.

 

5. Very beneficial, will be arranging for my family to attend the course

Let me take this opportunity to let you know how I enjoyed your course, it is very professional & well structured.  Jason the presenter was excellent.

I loved the way Jason started on time at the beginning of the day and in breaks, not wasting time waiting for inconsiderate people running late, that was very much appreciated.

Also there was no fluffing around, just presenting the facts, and moving on to the next thing, always keeping your attention & interest.

 For the past 20 years I have had to have a current first aid certificate & have always renewed with St Johns, this year I decided to give your company a go.  I found your company to be much more professional in presentation, content & structure.  I thoroughly enjoyed your course.

Thank you.

Warm regards

Greg, thanks very much. You and Karen were so informative. I have attended alot of tapping courses including with the Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast suns and that was the best one yet.
Thanks again to you and Karen.  I hope we get to meet again soon.

great course

Dr Reddy’s was looking to partner with a First Aid company who deals with training large group of professionals. In 2012, we ran three training events in VIC, NSW & QLD. The feedback we received from our staff and our customers was excellent. You can see Adrian really loves what he does by the effort he makes to keep the participants entertained whilst ensuring they leave knowing how to perform CPR. As someone in the healthcare and fitness industry, I highly recommend Vital First Aid.

Hi I am writing to let you know what an amazing job the surf life savers at Avoca did yesterday. The speed with which they rescued the two women from a non patrolled area and commenced cpr was impressive. As a doctor i offered my assistance but it was clear that the team had it under control. Having worked in emergency for ten years i can safely say i have never seen such a professional and well run arrest team with all surf life savers offering both women exceptional care and respect. Sadly one of he women died but team fought for least 45mins to get her back. I visit Avoca regularly and have no hesitation swimming in the surf with this professional team watching. Kind regards Dr Merrin Thanopoulos

Avoca Beach Lifeguard Incident 12/12/12. Gosford City Lifeguards trained by Vital First Aid were assisted by Life Savers at an emergency on Avoca Beach.

Dear Adrian, Over the last 10 years or so I have dozed my way though several courses designed to teach me CPR. Most were adequate but uninspiring. The course I attended yesterday at your Gosford premises was different. I was thoroughly engaged and I absorbed much information that I previously was unaware of. Better still I was left the course motivated to do more study and practice the skills I had learnt. As a former trainer/training manager I know how difficult it is to teach adults. They learn what they want to learn not what you want to teach. Your trainer, Ian, has that priceless ability to inspire students not only to absorb the information in the curriculum but to investigate, expand their knowledge and master the topic in their own time. In the coming weeks, I will arrange for my wife and daughter to attend a first aid course and as a family we will work together to ensure we are capable of administering first aid to our family, friends and the community. Please convey my gratitude to Ian for an exceptional day of training. Best regards Brian

Enjoyed the course

Dear Vital First Aid, I come back three years after three years...to enjoy and appreciate your trainer Peter . Attended another session 29 January 2015. Peter presents classes with enthusiasm, intelligence, fully knowledgeable of his subject and offers the information in a totally realistic down to earth manner. Whilst Peter continues with your organisation? I will come back only to Vital First Aid for three yearly updates to my certification and annual updates for CPR. Over the years I have given many people contact details for Vital First Aid. Kind regards, Margaret

To Whom It May Concern, I would greatly appreciate if it could be passed on to the General Manager of training that Jason, the fire man who ran my training session was fabulous. He was really engaged with us and gave really insightful tips. I have done Vital First Aid before, and a range of other organisations first aid courses but Jason made this one FUN and through doing so, I learnt so much more! Kind Regards Sarah

Awesome! Thanks Naomi, I really enjoyed this course. Doing the work book first made it easier to understand the practical aspect.  

is the workbook useful?

Hey, Would just like to give some positive feedback on the great First Aid training I attended at Cardiff today, given by Dallas. Like most people the thought of completing training on my weekend was not something I was greatly looking forward to but by the afternoon I was happy with the amount I had learnt during the day. This is the second time I have completed my first aid certificate through Vital First Aid and I would highly recommend your services to others. I found Dallas' background knowledge from being an ambulance officer provided us as students with a much better knowledge of the course content. This is the fourth time I have done my certificate and I feel I learnt more today than any of the previous three times I have completed the course. Dallas explained the content in a way which was easy for someone with no medical background to understand. The course was broken up well with a mix of theory, hands on and personal stories and videos which kept us engaged through out the day. Thank you for this positive experience and helping me to have a better understanding of First Aid. Regards, Mary

I wanted to pass on my thanks for the opportunity to attend the First Aid Training earlier this week and also to give you some feedback about the trainer, Peter  form Vital First Aid Training Services - he was an excellent trainer!  He didn't have feedback forms at the end of the session as most training I've attended have so I didn't get the opportunity to give any written feedback.  I did let him know at the end of the session, in person, that the training was great and he was a fantastic trainer.  Maybe you could pass on this feedback to Vital First Aid Training Services on my behalf.

Feedback is now gained by email post course

Thank you so much for your time patience and advice, you are very thorough and professional regards Stephen

A big thankyou to Dallas, yourself and everyone involved in putting together our First Aid course. It was excellent and Dallas is great facilitator

HI Kerri,

 A few years ago a 4 year old child dropped off of his bike and collapsed. He had stopped breathing and to a dedicated centre manager and team they went strait into action and used their cpr training for real.

They followed their training and started cpr and continued with this until emergency services arrived.

Thanks to their training and quick response, the child was air lifted alive to a children’s hospital and is still with us today,

 It just proves that keeping our first aid and cpr training current is a vital tool in the lives of those in our care.

 Warm regards,

 Clare 

Hi Adrian

 Just got my mail today and open it only to find my Level 2 Vital Sports Medicine card had arrived.

 I just wanted to say a big special thanks to you and your team for all your help with the completion of my Level 2 and believe me you cant take the smile of my face when I first saw the card come out of the envelop.

  Thanks again Mate for all your help.

 Regards

Hi There,

 I completed my first aid today at dee why with Kerry and i just wanted to say it was the best first aid course i have ever attended. I have done several over the past 10 plus years and never have i felt so much understanding and knowledge portrayed across. It was perfectly orchestrated with enough information through theory, discussion and practical without overloading the brain. It is the first time i have absorbed almost everything we learnt and feel i could put so much of what i learnt in to practice. Kerry was a fantastic teacher, the best i have come across and i would gladly and highly recommend anyone and everyone to vital first aid! I hope to have her again when i next re do the training. Thank you vital first aid and if you could please pass this on to Kerry to thank her personally also!

Cheers,
Bindi

Hello Carmen,

I will forward this survey to the staff who did the course for feedback. From all accounts both staff and students had a productive day. Dallas also received favourable comment. Kate (admin) was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you for providing a great service. Very satisfied clients!

 Kind regards,

Paul

Hi Carmen,

I would also like to pass along my thanks to you personally for making our booking and scheduling across our sites such an easy process this year. With such a large number of staff at different sites and constantly changing First Aiders with different expiry dates yourself and Debbie have made the process very efficient. You have made it a pleasure to deal with Vital First Aid.

Many Thanks

 Kind Regards,

Dallas was very professional, kept the pace going & made the course extremely interesting when he was reflecting on personal experiences

Great Course
March 2017

As a yoga teacher i need to refresh my CPR annually and my First Aid every 2 years so Ive done a few. This was THE MOST ENJOYABLE first aid course I've ever been to! highly recommend Ian! Thank you, he was a wealth of knowledge

Hi Linda,

Please see attached review of course. Had so much fun, very interesting, recommending everyone to go and do course!!

Thankyou J

Rachael 

Hello I attended the course yesterday and I thought it was excellent. I learned so much in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere and in a way that was easy to understand. Ian was the instructor and he was excellent and I do feel that I would now know what to do to help someone if I had to. Thank you

Hi Kate
I have been talking to most of the guys that attended the First Aid training yesterday on site at Mandalong.

They have all given positive feedback on how Bill conducted the Training his interaction with them and manner in which the day was conducted.

Therefore can please pass this positive feedback onto Bill. Once again our thanks for yesterdays training.

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to provide the feedback for my course! My course trainer Charnan was fantastic - she covered all of the key elements of the training and kept the classroom engaged with real life examples of administering first aid as we went through course materials. Although there was quite a lot of content to cover in one day, I found it was done in such a way that it 'sunk in' and some 2 months later I can recall the information and am confident I could perform CPR and/ or administer first aid, if necessary. Thank you very much for offering such a great course!

The course instructor kept the course going. I have been to several first aid courses over the years but I have to say instead of being boring the course conducted by Peter was one of the best I have done. He should be congratulated for his efforts. He did a brilliant job

It was enjoyable and informative and I felt the trainer dealt well with a "variety " of people. ( Kerrie was very gracious with the talkers and the uninformed!) 2nd time I have done a vital course and I will again- thank you.

Thank you Vital First Aid for your continuous and wonderful assistance and support in First Aid/sports training and injury management.

Everything has been so much easier since you have been on board the NRL train. But most of all your trainers/facilitators have been absolutely wonderful. In the many years i have been to courses to do anything with learning i have never walked away feeling so empowered to be able to walk out on a field with the tools i have just been taught and use them. The way you deliver your courses equipped me to be the best trainer i wanted be and that is credit to your facilitators as well...Very knowledgeable and experienced facilitators and most of all very organised. 

 So thankyou again for you great work and continuous support 

 Kind Regards 

 Lynette

“CHARNAN WAS THE BEST AT EXPLAINING EVERYTHING, OUT OF THE NOW FOUR VISITS FOR FIRST AID TRAINING. GREAT!!!”

 “AWESOME! BEST TRAINING I HAVE HAD”

Thanks Adrian,

it was a tough assignment and an enjoyable one.I learnt a lot doing this  course in theory and putting it to use practically…Thanks again for your help, Tim 

Hi Adrian,

 I did pass on my congratulations at the time of paying the invoice.

 The training we received was relevant, we are all nurses, the instructor-sorry forgot his name was fabulous.

 All of my staff were engaged in the session, this doesn’t happen often. It was interesting with a joke here and there. Care was taken when it came to the practical application and a gentle reminder on how to do it effectively.

 My staff sill comment on this training which was 6 weeks ago.

 Congratulations to you and your team.
