Report
I am very pleased with the content and structure of the course training. The site visits are always positive and useful to us in the training. We place other trainees on training courses for Mechanical Apprenticeships and they are with large colleges that dont perform any where near the standard that PFTP set. Very happy with PFTP.

Just wanted to drop you an email to say thanks for getting the first aid course sorted. I thought David Higginson was a fantasic teacher. He got everything across clearly and was very approachable. Its another string to my bow and I'm proud to be able to say that I'm a qualified first aider. Still buzzing from the course and look forward to adding more strings. Many thanks & please pass my thanks again onto David.
