Went on a 2 day (16 hour) Outdoor First Aid course with Sean at CPS Activities and we learnt so much! Sean was a really patient instructor and he made the 2 days really fun whilst also teaching us loads about first aid in different scenarios. There was a good combination of theory and then putting what we had learned into practice. Would definitely book another course with Sean again! 😃
