Brilliant first aid training. Highly engaging and knowledgable tutors. Their energy and methods of teaching make the course a great learning experience, not just a box-ticking activity. We will use Green Box every time we need to renew our first aid qualifications.

Best ever ‘First Aid at work’ course I took! Carly, the instructor is highly experienced - practically as well as a tutor - and very articulate, with a sense of humour. Green Box as a company was great and efficient to deal with and gave clear instructions and reminders ahead of the course. Highly recommended! Thanks Paul and Carly.

Paul was a fantastic instructor, he explained everything clearly and had lots of equipment that I had never seen before, the monitors for CPR, chocking and backslap coat all the different types of cuts, very interesting. I was a bit worried about using my phone for the test as I’m not great with phones but it was ok. The only thing I would say I couldn’t see the wipe board very well. All in all a good course.

I would heartily recommend Carly and Marcus of Green Box First Aid. I did the one day EFAW course and it was excellent - informative, useful, pragmatic and practical. Couldn't have asked for better, thank you!

“Paul is an excellent trainer – I learned so much on this first aid course. I hope that if I ever need to use these skills, I’ll be able to save someone’s life. Everyone should take this course, because in an emergency, early intervention really can save lives.”

I did the Emergency First Aid at Work 6 Hour Level 3 (VTQ) - EFAW earlier this week. The day is well run, with a lot of practical elements and chances to ask questions. I would use this company again next time my certification needs renewing.
