Ofqual certifiedEmergency First at Work (EFAW) +FFirst at Work (FAW), +FFirst at Work (refresher),Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)Defibrillator training andOxygen therapyI started out in the Armed Forces as a boy soldier at the young age of just fifteen, after six years of service I left the forces and became a fire-fighter for a major strategic airfield. Due to the airfield category being reduced, I was made redundant. I had been contemplating working in the forestry industry for some time and joined the Forestry Commission as a trainee forestry manager. After some years, I left and ventured into a family business and have worked for myself much of my working life. I have always been involved in forestry as a volunteer helping to renovate and maintain our precious ancient woodlands. Probably from my time in the forces I have been drawn to learning beyond the skills of First Aid and volunteered as a Community First Responder with SECAMB ambulance service. I was encouraged to join the service full time, I did. But typically, my timing was perfect! Covid hit our shores and I worked throughout the pandemic. My work / life experience has provided me with a wealth of experience, most have been very good but due to nature of the work some have been sad. With this mixed experience and a desire to 'nip things in the bud' I have trained as a Mental Health Instructor specialising in delivering First Aid courses, this in conjunction delivering specialised first aid for the forestry industry. My vision is to ensure more people than ever can get the help they need in their most difficult times. By delivering engaging first aid courses that build confident, knowledgeable first aiders all over the UK (that last well beyond initial training), we’re bringing that vision to life one booking at a time.
