Martin Murray - Countryside Recreation Officer, Carmarthenshire County Council:
We were very pleased with the way First Rate Training discussed our particular needs and the types of injuries and illnesses we were most likely to have to treat in our type of work. The training itself was informative, comprehensive, and put over in an enjoyable way by staff with real experience of their subject.
Mark Careless - Risk Manager, IKEA: ![]()
The balance between theory and practical on the course is exactly right; the wealth of knowledge from the emergency services trainers makes the course very informative. Our staff always report feeling confident at the end of the course to undertake their duties, either as first aiders or fire wardens.
Angela Edwards - AO & Training Co-Coordinator, Forestry Commission:
We were delighted with the Training Course delivered by 'First Rate Training'. The staff were very helpful and were able to accommodate our more specific First Aid Training needs for Forestry personnel. As well as the usual classroom based practical and theory sessions, FRT provided us with 'on site' practical scenarios which all attendees found to be extremely useful. We would thoroughly recommend FRT to anyone who is looking for a professional and experienced team of First Aid Trainers.
Clive Williams - Training Officer, Llanelli Rural Council Training Department:
Rural council training dept used first rate training services for two courses and the organisation was superb and the feedback from candidates means that we can recommend their services.
Julian Baldock - Occupational Health Nurse, Crane Process Flow Technologies Ltd:![]()
First Rate Training have provided quality and relevant first aid training for my company over the last twelve months. They have always been flexible and timely with training sessions. Instructors have developed a good rappor with employees and assessors that have been used have always been firm but fair. First Rate Training will be our preferred first aid trainer for future years and I would clearly recommend them to other companies.
Tony Liddar - Managing Director, Software Company:
Given the number of staff I wanted trained as Appointed Persons for First Aid, I decided that the most effective method would be to have an in-house course. Researching on the internet, I found First Rate Training. They advised me of the right course for my requirements and also directed me towards the Health and Safety Executive to check their accreditation.
The team at First Rate Training were very pro-active in liaising with me before the course to check that we were still available on the agreed date. They also called afterwards to ensure that we had been happy with the trainer and the course contents.
Should we have similar requirements in the future, I will no doubt be in touch again.
