The following are responses to specific questions we asked of delegates after we ran this course for the first time.
The course did meet my expectations and I feel that I now have a better understanding of workplace stress and my responsibilities as an employer.
We had used the 6 HSE Management Standards as the basis of our stress risk assessment carried out last year so we will be completing this again within the next few months using what I learnt on the course.
I found the exercises that you added in very helpful, particularly the primary, secondary and tertiary intervention explanations.

My team have come to me absolutely buzzing about the training they received with Sara yesterday. They told me she was brilliant and so knowledgeable. Everyone really enjoyed the training, were fully engaged and even managed to have a few laughs along the way! They told me the equipment used was different to previous courses and was really good (they even took photos to share with me), they also said the course content was spot on for what we do and what we need. Overall they said the day flew by and would love to continue with first aid training with yourselves.
Thanks very much for facilitating such a great session for the team,

Really enjoyed the course. Made better by two superb and patient tutors in Karen and Drew
Thanks to Olivia too, always there to greet and help following my daily commute from the Isle of Wight. Both Tutors were exceptional but a special word reserved for Karen Fanner. She has a unique style of delivery that commands your attention, no matter how intense and relentless the course material is. Drew also had an incredible level of knowledge about the industry and legislation. Great training company thanks!
