Southampton is one of the South Coast’s largest commercial hubs, home to a major port, a busy cruise terminal, a large student population and a dense mix of offices, warehouses, retail parks and care providers. That activity keeps demand for properly trained first aiders consistently high.

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.
