Instructor was knowledgeable and friendly, notably they made efforts to highlight aspects of first-aid practice with framing like 'if you only remembered one thing in the heat of the moment...'. As someone who isn't a professional first-aider I hope to never have to use my skills; but on the one occasion that I needed it, a focussed instruction helped greatly to keep me calm in the situation. This instructor included several; but not an overwhelming amount.

The online component was also solid and well communicated. It's particularly nice to hear Aussie accents, which presumably means supporting local jobs in that ecosystem.

Great course, and will definitely look them up for my refresher course if I'm still in the area when it's due.

I want to give a huge thank you to Rob for such an amazing first aid experience!
The training was clear, practical, and engaging from start to finish. Rob made sure everything was easy to understand and gave us the confidence to apply first aid in real-life situations. His teaching style is supportive, hands-on, and full of valuable tips that really stick.
This experience has been so worthwhile, and I feel much more prepared and confident to help others in an emergency. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone wanting not just to learn, but to enjoy the process too.

Great to have an accessible option close to home. Online pre learning and face to face practical was a very efficient way of learning that privided the flexibility i needed. Trainers were great, supportive and informative. I felt i walked away with an understanding of first aid and CPR skills and confidence to use them if needed. The team were also communicative beforehand to answer my questions. Highly recommended.

The online part of the course introduced quite a few first aid facts and concepts which I worked through at my own pace. The online part remembers where you are up to, so you can go back to it. The practical part with Rob at the Belconnen site was most useful in terms of grounding the practices such as how to do CPR on an adult or a baby, how to get the person in a recovery position, the importance of calling for further help from ambulance etc., how to put on a bandage after a break or sprain and so on. It was interactive with questions back and forth and demonstration first and me to then do. Very thorough, and friendly approach.

I attended a first aid class, and it was excellent. The instructor, a kind and patient woman, was especially attentive and considerate. Since my English isn’t very strong, she made sure to explain everything slowly and clearly so I could fully understand. I truly appreciate her effort and kindness, and I highly recommend her class to anyone!
Start right here!
Highly recommended for everyone.

Highly recommend Local First Aid. Our trainer Rob was absolutely fantastic, highly knowledgeable, experienced but also warm, friendly and down to earth. He made me feel comfortable to ask questions and took time to go through each step without rushing. I’ve completed several first aid courses over my 21 years in the Early Childhood Education sector and this company was one of the very best. I’ll definitely return to do my CPR refresher course in 1 year and my full first aid again in 3 years. I’ve also recommended the company to all my families at work. ☺️

When I got there, the instructor I believe Rob (I'm really bad with remembering names) was friendly. Throughout the course, he was clear and very instructive with the demonstration and explanations. Which in turn made me less nervous about doing the first aid course. 🙂

I really appreciated how Emma, the trainer simplified everything,making it easy to remember and apply in real-life situations. Their friendly and approachable demeanor created a comfortable learning environment, which helped alleviate any nervousness I initially had. When you're nervous, it's easy to forget even if you know what to do, but their approach helped you stay focused. I would definitely recommend this training to anyone who wants to feel more at ease during emergencies.
